    About Lanelle

    Lanelle Hanagriff is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Texas. She focuses on helping people who are feeling stressed, anxious, or stuck in their relationships. She also supports work on self-esteem, motivation, and issues connected to adoption and foster care, forgiveness, and jealousy.

    She has worked in private practice and in group settings for over 30 years. Much of her earlier work used psychodrama in hospital and treatment facility settings, though her current online focus centers on stress, anxiety, relationships, parenting concerns, motivation, and confidence.

    In sessions she aims to create an open, nonjudgmental space where thoughts and feelings can be talked through. She asks questions that help people identify goals and consider next steps. She also offers gentle challenges when that helps someone move toward greater fulfillment.

    Her approach draws from several methods, including client-centered techniques, cognitive behavioral therapy, solution-focused work, Imago relationship ideas, and motivational interviewing. These tools are used to build on a person’s existing strengths and to tackle specific problems in practical ways.

    Starting therapy with her involves clarifying what a person wants from counseling, setting realistic goals, and making a plan to reach them. She presents herself as a supportive partner in that process, helping people take the small steps that lead to meaningful change.

  2. Approaches that guide online sessions

    Motivational Interviewing focuses on helping people find their own reasons to change. It uses open questions and reflection to strengthen a person’s motivation and commitment. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and acceptance so people can explore feelings and goals at their own pace and feel heard.

    Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact and uses practical exercises to shift unhelpful patterns. CBT can be useful for stress, anxiety, and building confidence through small, achievable steps.

    Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, try methods that fit, and adjust the plan over time. This is a collaborative process intended to match tools to what the person needs and prefers.

    The original biography does not specify which online formats are offered, so confirm session options before booking. Many people find online sessions easier to fit into busy days, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time from appointments. Licensed professionals can use online meetings to guide goal setting, practice skills, and support changes between sessions.
