Lannie Cox, LPC

Lannie Cox is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas who helps people feeling stuck find practical ways forward. He works with concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship troubles, parenting strain, grief, addiction, ADHD, and life changes. His style is encouraging and down-to-earth, offering a fresh pair of ears and straightforward guidance.

He uses a mix of methods to match each person’s needs rather than one fixed plan. Sessions focus on identifying what isn’t working, building small steps that fit daily life, and drawing on each person’s own strengths. Lannie blends techniques from cognitive behavioral approaches, emotion-focused work, the Gottman Method, dialectical strategies, and mindfulness to shape clear, usable goals.

Before counseling he spent 15 years in corporate communications and public relations. That background informs a practical, results-oriented approach to problems like career stress, communication breakdowns, and coping with big transitions. He holds a master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from West Texas A&M University and maintains a counseling practice in Texas.

Clients can expect a conversational tone and direct problem solving rather than long lectures. Lannie often uses solution-focused ideas to help people find steps they can try between sessions. He also brings a personal perspective as a husband and father and sometimes lightens sessions with a story about his Seeing Eye dog, Abbott.

He guides people toward solutions that come from their own values and strengths. To begin, readers should use the site’s Start Therapy flow to match and schedule according to availability.

Approaches that guide online work

Therapy with Lannie often draws on cognitive behavioral ideas and emotionally-focused work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors link together and helps people try different actions to shift difficult patterns. Emotionally-Focused Therapy concentrates on identifying and sharing core emotions to improve closeness and understanding in relationships.

He also uses elements of dialectical behavior therapy and mindfulness to teach practical skills for managing strong emotions and staying present. These tools are aimed at reducing overwhelm, improving communication, and building steady coping habits for daily life.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Lannie will talk with each person about needs, goals, and what feels most useful. Together they decide which methods to use and adjust the plan as progress unfolds.
