Lannie Cox , LPC

Lannie Cox brings a blend of practical encouragement and clinical training to support people who feel stuck and ready for change. He listens closely to what is not working, offers a fresh perspective, and helps clients identify strengths and solutions that often come from within. With training in several therapeutic approaches - including solution-focused brief therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, family systems work, the Gottman Method, and Adlerian ideas - he tailors interventions to match each person, couple, or family's needs.

Before entering counseling, he spent 15 years in the corporate world working in communications and public relations, experience that informs his collaborative and communication-focused style. He holds a master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from West Texas A&M University and is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC), which means he has met state requirements to practice counseling.

As a husband and father, he understands the everyday pressures families face and brings that lived perspective to sessions. He aims to offer listening ears, encouragement, and practical steps toward change. Off duty, his Seeing Eye dog Abbott occasionally provides a laugh when he snores. Lannie invites people to start a conversation and explore what might work for them.

Evidence-Based Approaches for Online Care

CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, helps people identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It is often used for stress, anxiety, depression, sleep and eating concerns, and other everyday patterns that get in the way of functioning. DBT, or Dialectical Behavior Therapy, focuses on skills for managing intense emotions, improving impulse control, and building healthier coping strategies - useful for impulsivity, strong emotional reactions, and relationship strain. Emotionally-Focused Therapy centers on emotional needs and attachment patterns in relationships; it can strengthen intimacy, repair communication, and help couples and families navigate conflict.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Lannie works with each person or couple to explore goals, preferences, and practical needs, then recommends or blends methods that fit the situation. The choice of approach can evolve as progress is made and needs change.

Online therapy offers flexible access to licensed professionals through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit counseling into busy schedules, maintain continuity during life transitions, and receive support from different locations, including international settings.
