Lanelle Hanagriff, LPC

Lanelle Hanagriff is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas who helps people facing stress and anxiety. She focuses on relationship issues, self-esteem, motivation, and concerns tied to adoption and foster care, forgiveness, and jealousy. Her approach is warm and straightforward, aimed at helping clients take practical steps toward feeling better.

She brings about 30 years of experience from private practice and group work. Much of her past work included trauma-related psychodrama in hospital and treatment settings, though her online focus is on daily stress, anxiety, and relationship concerns. Lanelle balances gentle support with thoughtful questions to help people understand what brought them to therapy.

Sessions emphasize respectful listening and building on a person’s strengths. She encourages clients to name goals and then create small, achievable steps to reach them. That mix of encouragement and challenge is meant to increase confidence and motivation over time.

Lanelle frames therapy as a collaborative process. She asks questions to help people reflect, offers feedback, and works alongside them to try new strategies. The aim is practical change that fits into everyday life rather than long, abstract discussions.

Taking that first step can feel hard, and she acknowledges the courage it takes. Prospective clients start by choosing the Start Therapy button, completing a short matching questionnaire, and scheduling according to the therapist’s availability.

How Lanelle’s Approaches Translate to Online Therapy

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and meeting people where they are. It emphasizes respect, empathy, and helping someone find their own solutions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behavior and teaches practical skills to reduce anxiety and manage stress. Imago Relationship Therapy helps partners understand patterns in their interactions so they can repair connection and communicate more clearly.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Lanelle treats selecting techniques as a collaborative process. She will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, try strategies together, and adjust the plan based on what helps most.

Online therapy can make fitting sessions into a busy life easier, such as scheduling meetings around work or childcare. It also allows for shorter check-ins when needed or focused skill-building sessions that feel manageable between other commitments. Confirm the current session options before booking so you know how sessions will be held, and then schedule in a way that supports your daily routine.
