About Lanelle
Lanelle Hanagriff is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas who works with adults facing stress, anxiety, and relationship concerns. She also helps people struggling with self-esteem, motivation, adoption and foster care issues, forgiveness, and jealousy. Her style is supportive and direct, and she aims to help clients take practical steps toward greater fulfillment.
Hanagriff brings 30 years of professional experience in independent practice and group work. Much of her past work included using psychodrama in hospital and treatment settings to address trauma, though her current focus is on online therapy for the areas listed above.
How Lanelle works
She emphasizes clear conversation and collaborative planning during sessions. In sessions she asks questions that help people clarify what they want to change. She listens closely, points out patterns, and gently challenges unhelpful thinking.
Together with each client she sets goals and creates a plan to reach them, adjusting that plan as progress is made. Her approach draws from several methods to fit different needs. She uses client-centered listening to understand each person’s perspective, cognitive behavioral techniques to change thought patterns, and solution-focused strategies to build small, achievable steps.
Motivational interviewing supports change when people feel stuck, and Imago ideas can guide work on deeper relationship dynamics. Lanelle offers video, phone, live chat, and text-based sessions for people located in Texas. She asks new clients to complete a short matching questionnaire before scheduling so sessions can begin with clear goals and a shared plan.

Therapeutic approaches for online sessions
Client-centered therapy focuses on understanding each person’s experience without judgment. The therapist listens closely, reflects what she hears, and follows the client’s lead to build trust and clarify goals. This approach is useful when someone needs space to sort out feelings and make choices.Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, targets unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Sessions include identifying patterns, trying out small experiments, and practicing different responses. CBT often helps with anxiety, stress, and self-esteem by giving concrete tools to change daily habits.
Solution-focused therapy zeroes in on small, achievable steps. The work aims to find what already helps and build on it, which can speed progress for people who want practical results quickly.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options and collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their goals, preferences, and situation. Plans are reviewed and adjusted as needed so the work stays relevant.
Online sessions offer flexibility and easier access to regular care. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction, phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited, live chat supports brief check-ins, and text messaging works well for short updates or between-session prompts. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work and family commitments.
