About Lanelle
Lanelle Hanagriff is a Licensed Professional Counselor in Texas who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, relationship troubles, and low self-esteem. She brings a calm, straightforward approach and aims to create a place where clients feel heard and respected. She has practiced for 30 years in independent practice and group settings.
Much of her earlier work involved trauma-focused psychodrama in hospitals and treatment facilities. That background informs how she listens for patterns and reactions in everyday life.
Background and approach
In sessions she asks clear questions to help people understand what they want to change. She balances support with gentle challenges that encourage growth and greater fulfillment. Together clients set concrete goals and make a step-by-step plan to reach them.
Lanelle pays attention to strengths and uses them as a starting point. She also helps people with issues tied to adoption and foster care, forgiveness, and jealousy when those come up. Her style is practical and focused on what works day to day.
Online therapy with her includes talking through feelings, practicing new responses, and tracking progress between meetings. She offers a direct, collaborative way to work toward clearer thinking and steadier emotional balance.
Approaches that guide online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening closely and responding to what matters most to the client. It helps people feel understood and make choices that fit their values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and actions affect feelings and teaches practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns. This approach is useful for anxiety, stress, and low self-esteem. Imago Relationship Therapy concentrates on communication and understanding between partners, helping people notice how past patterns affect current conflicts.Picking the right approach is part of the work. The therapist collaborates with each person to choose methods that match their goals and preferences. Together they try approaches, check what helps, and adjust the plan if needed so sessions stay useful and focused.
Online therapy is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat or text-based messaging can fit short check-ins, scheduling, or ongoing reflections between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and different daily routines.
