About Lannie
Lannie Cox helps people who feel stuck and ready for change. He focuses on stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and family concerns, parenting, grief, addictions, trauma and abuse, and issues like self-esteem and impulsivity. He uses straightforward encouragement and attentive listening to help people find practical steps forward.
He keeps sessions down-to-earth and goal-focused. Lannie draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, the Gottman Method, and mindfulness techniques to match the work to each person's needs.
How Lannie works
He emphasizes simple tools people can use between sessions to notice patterns and try different behaviors. Before becoming a counselor, Lannie spent 15 years in corporate communications and public relations. He holds a master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and is a Licensed Professional Counselor - LPC in Texas.
That background shapes his direct, pragmatic approach to problem solving. Lannie aims to create a calm setting where people can talk through what isn’t working and test new ways of coping. He offers encouragement without gimmicks and helps people identify strengths they can build on.
The work is collaborative and paced to what each person can manage. Outside of clinical work he is a husband and father, and sometimes mentions his Seeing Eye dog, Abbott, who brings light moments to sessions. He invites people to take small steps toward clearer thinking and healthier routines.

Online support options
Therapeutic approaches you can use online
Many of Lannie's methods translate well to remote work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and testing new behaviors to reduce anxiety, depression, and stress. It uses homework and short experiments to change patterns.Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, teaches skills for handling intense emotions and improving communication. It emphasizes practical coping strategies for impulsivity, anger, and self-control. Emotionally-Focused Therapy, EFT, helps people notice and express emotions in clearer ways to improve connection and reduce recurring conflict.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Lannie will collaborate with clients to choose techniques that match their goals, needs, and preferences. He starts with what feels most useful and adjusts as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video is good when visual cues and conversation depth matter. Phone sessions can use less bandwidth and fit into a short break. Live chat and messaging allow for brief check-ins, journaling-like reflections, and ongoing reinforcement between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to keep momentum between sessions.
