About Lannie
Lannie Cox is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) based in Texas who helps people tackle stress, anxiety, parenting strains, relationship and family concerns, and grief. He brings a practical, encouraging style and listens for what is getting in the way. Sessions focus on clear steps you can try between meetings.
He favors straightforward conversation and collaborative problem solving. Lannie uses tools from cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, emotionally-focused work, the Gottman Method, and mindfulness to match the moment.
Background and approach
He explains techniques in everyday language and helps people pick strategies that fit their life. Before counseling, he spent 15 years working in corporate communications and public relations. That background informs a direct, organized approach to addressing goals and habits.
He holds a master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from West Texas A&M University and practices as an LPC in Texas. Lannie says solutions often come from inside the person, and his role is to help them surface and test those answers. He values small experiments - short changes that can be tried and adjusted.
He aims to make sessions focused and useful for busy parents and adults balancing many demands. Outside of work he is a husband and father, and he sometimes shares light moments about Abbott, his Seeing Eye dog. The tone in sessions is warm and practical, with an emphasis on what can be done next to reduce distress and improve relationships.

Practical approaches for online parenting and relationship work
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes that can lessen stress and anxiety. It is often used to tackle sleep, mood, and coping patterns with clear, step-by-step practices.Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, teaches concrete skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and better communication. These skills can help with intense emotions, impulsivity, anger, and relationship conflicts.
Emotionally-Focused Therapy centers on how emotions shape interactions and attachments. It can help people name difficult feelings, improve closeness, and repair trust in important relationships.
Choosing the right approach is collaborative. Lannie will discuss your goals, try methods together, and shift strategies if something isn’t working. The aim is to find practical tools that fit your daily life and parenting needs.
Online formats offer flexibility to match your routine. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation for deeper work. Phone sessions can be an easier option when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging work well for brief check-ins, coaching-style guidance, or when a quick plan between sessions is helpful.
