About Lannie
Lannie Cox is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) based in Texas who focuses on men's wellbeing and practical change. He listens closely, asks clear questions, and helps people identify workable next steps when they feel stuck. His approach is direct but supportive, and he draws on everyday experience to help clients move forward.
He uses tools from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT), the Gottman Method, and mindfulness practices to shape sessions. That mix lets him tailor sessions to problems like anxiety, depression, relationship or parenting strain, trauma, addictions, grief, and career stress. Sessions aim to build skills, shift patterns, and make small changes that add up.
Cox brings a background in corporate communications and public relations to his work, which can make talking about career and life transitions feel straightforward. He earned a master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from West Texas A&M University and holds the LPC credential. He also mentions personal experience as a husband and father, which informs his perspective on family and parenting concerns.
In sessions he offers listening, encouragement, and practical strategies rather than quick fixes. He encourages clients to discover solutions that fit their lives and values. A light touch of humor occasionally helps - he notes a seeing-eye dog named Abbott who sometimes snores.
If someone wants to begin, they can expect focused conversations that look for concrete steps and coping strategies. The work is collaborative and geared toward usable change over time.
Approaches that translate well to online work
CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and testing new behaviors. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and managing stress by teaching concrete skills for daily life. DBT emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication. It helps when impulsivity, intense emotions, or relationship conflict make life harder.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist discusses goals and preferences and then tries methods that fit those needs. That collaborative process helps shape sessions so techniques feel useful rather than forced.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make scheduling easier and help sessions fit into busy lives. It also lets people use quieter surroundings, shorter check-ins, or phone-only options when that better matches their day. Licensed professionals can adapt CBT and DBT exercises to remote sessions, using worksheets, brief skills practice, and conversational coaching to keep progress moving.
