About Horace
Horace Lackey is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 31 years of clinical experience. He focuses on parenting concerns as well as stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief, addiction, and depression. Horace draws on straightforward talk and practical steps to help people move forward.
He sees common problems as a mix of feeling stuck, repetitive patterns, and difficult emotions. In sessions he listens closely and calls people to try new ways of responding.
Background and approach
He aims to be warm and direct, offering challenges alongside steady support so clients can practice different choices between meetings. Horace often uses client-centered techniques that follow the pace set by the person in the room. He also uses cognitive behavioral approaches to help change unhelpful thinking and behavior.
These methods are paired with attachment-focused ideas when family history and close relationships are at the heart of the problem. Many people come for help with fatherhood issues, codependency, commitment worries, or family of origin concerns. He also helps those dealing with shame, social anxiety, isolation, and finding life purpose.
Sessions work on skills, insight, and real-world experiments to test new patterns. He brings a practical, every-day stance shaped by decades of experience and long marriage and family life. The work is collaborative and grounded in clear goals.
Horace encourages people to try small changes that add up to lasting shifts.

How therapeutic methods translate to online care
Attachment-based work focuses on patterns in close relationships. Online sessions explore how past attachments affect current parenting and relationship behaviors, and then practice different responses. Client-centered therapy centers on the person in front of the therapist, emphasizing empathic listening and respect for each client's pace and decisions. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) targets specific thoughts and behaviors, offering clear exercises and experiments to change thinking and day-to-day habits.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Horace works collaboratively to decide which methods fit each person's situation and goals. He pairs listening with practical tasks and checks progress together, adjusting direction as needed so the plan stays useful and realistic.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets people connect face-to-face for deeper relational work. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging make it easier to fit brief check-ins into a busy day and to keep momentum between longer sessions. These options offer flexibility so therapy can fit work, family, and parenting schedules.
