Lannie Cox , LPC

Lannie Cox brings a pragmatic, encouragement-focused approach to counseling for individuals, couples, and families who feel stuck and ready for change. With a master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from West Texas A&M University and professional training across several therapeutic models, he offers attentive listening, practical tools, and a collaborative process to help clients identify and use their own strengths to solve problems.

Before entering clinical practice, he spent 15 years working in the corporate world in communications and public relations, experience that informs his clear, results-oriented style. He is a Licensed Professional Counselor - LPC - and draws on evidence-informed methods such as cognitive behavioral approaches, family systems thinking, and relationship-focused techniques to tailor care to each person’s needs.

As a husband and father, he understands real-life pressures around parenting, blended families, work stress, and shifting life roles. He aims to offer straightforward encouragement rather than gimmicks, helping clients hear what’s not working and discover practical pathways forward. He also shares a lighter side in sessions when his Seeing Eye dog Abbott makes an appearance and occasionally snores, offering a brief reminder that progress can include moments of humanity and humor.

Lannie focuses on helping people with stress, anxiety, relationships, parenting, depression, addictions, trauma and related concerns, and seeks to match therapeutic strategies to each client’s goals and circumstances.

Approaches and Accessibility in Online Therapy

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and replace them with more constructive patterns. It is often used for anxiety, depression, stress, and coping with life changes.

The Gottman Method focuses on improving communication and emotional connection in couples by teaching practical skills for managing conflict, rebuilding trust, and strengthening intimacy. It is especially useful for relationship and family concerns.

Mindfulness Therapy encourages present-focused awareness and gentle acceptance of thoughts and feelings, supporting improvements in stress management, emotional regulation, and overall well-being.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the collaborative process. Lannie Cox works with clients to understand their goals, preferences, and life context, and adjusts methods over time so the treatment fits the person rather than forcing a single model.

Online therapy offers flexibility in how and when care happens. Clients can meet by video call or phone, or choose live chat and text-based messaging when that better fits a schedule or comfort level. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, balance work or family commitments, and access licensed professionals from different locations while pursuing consistent, goal-focused therapy.
