About Lannie
Lannie Cox is an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor practicing in Texas with three years of clinical experience. He helps people who feel stuck and want practical change across stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, grief, and relationship or parenting concerns.
Lannie listens for what is not working and offers clear, down-to-earth feedback. He draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy alongside cognitive and behavioral approaches to help clients name difficult emotions and shift unhelpful patterns. Sessions are conversational and goal-oriented rather than full of jargon.
Before counseling, he spent 15 years in corporate communications and public relations. That background shapes his straightforward style and focus on real-world solutions. He also has a masters degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from West Texas A&M University.
In sessions he uses practical tools from CBT and DBT to change thinking and behavior, and he brings mindfulness techniques to help with regulation and stress. He also uses ideas from the Gottman method when working through communication and commitment concerns.
Lannie is a husband and father and notes that life roles can complicate feelings and choices. He keeps sessions practical, aiming to help people notice where their own answers are and how to put those answers into action.
He also mentions lighter moments in practice, including the occasional snore from his Seeing Eye dog, Abbott. Prospective clients are encouraged to start by matching with him and scheduling a first session to see if his approach fits their needs.
Using EFT, CBT, and DBT in online sessions
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people and partners name and shift hard-to-identify emotions that drive repeating patterns. EFT focuses on emotions and attachment-related moments to change how people respond in important relationships. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviors and teaches concrete skills to reduce anxiety, improve mood, and change unhelpful habits. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) brings practical tools for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication when feelings feel overwhelming.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences and then decide together which combination of EFT, CBT, or DBT makes sense. This is a collaborative process and can shift as needs change.
