Horace Lackey, LPC

Horace Lackey is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas with 31 years of clinical experience. He focuses on helping people facing stress, anxiety, relationship troubles, parenting strains, trauma and related issues. He aims for a direct, respectful approach that combines listening with practical steps forward.

Horace uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and client-centered methods to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and build healthier habits. He also draws on attachment and emotionally-focused ideas when relationships and closeness are part of the problem. Sessions emphasize clear goals and doable actions between meetings.

People working with him can expect a calm, nonjudgmental presence and encouragement to do the sometimes hard work of change. He blends challenge with support, helping clients try new behaviors and notice what shifts. The focus is on skills people can use in daily life, not just talking about problems.

He brings long experience with a wide range of concerns, from addictions, grief, and anger to self-esteem, intimacy, and ADHD-related struggles. He also addresses family of origin issues, fatherhood challenges, codependency, and feelings of isolation. The aim is practical relief and clearer direction.

Horace prefers a collaborative style where the client sets priorities and he offers strategies and perspective. He values steady progress over quick fixes and works at a pace that fits each person. For those wanting a straightforward, experienced counselor who emphasizes real-world change, his approach is focused and approachable.

How therapy approaches translate to online sessions

Horace uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify and change unhelpful thoughts and routines that keep stress and anxiety active. CBT is goal-oriented and often includes practical exercises to try between sessions, which adapt well to online formats. He also draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early connections shape current relationship patterns and emotional responses. That approach helps when intimacy, trust, or family of origin issues are central.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. He will listen to your goals and try methods that fit your situation. If one technique isn’t helping, he will adjust the focus and choose other tools so progress continues in a way that feels useful to you.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions work when bandwidth is limited, and messaging or live chat can fit short check-ins or scheduling constraints. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy lives while keeping the focus on practical steps and steady progress.
