About Horace
Horace Lackey is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas who helps people manage stress, anger, anxiety, relationship strain, and other life challenges. He brings more than 31 years of counseling experience to sessions and uses straightforward, practical methods. He speaks English and focuses on helping individuals build skills and find clearer paths forward.
His style is calm and no-nonsense. He listens without judgment and offers direct challenges when change is needed.
Background and approach
Sessions often blend client-centered conversation with tools from cognitive behavioral therapy to spot unhelpful patterns and try new behaviors. Horace has long worked with issues that often show up together, like grief, parenting questions, addictions, self-esteem struggles, and problems tied to attachment or family of origin.
He also supports people dealing with trauma-related memories using approaches that address the emotional impact and coping strategies. In a typical session he asks concrete questions, helps people set small goals, and practices skills that can be used between meetings. He encourages people to take steps that feel manageable and measurable rather than overwhelming or vague.
Clients come away with clearer ways to handle anger, reduce reactivity, and improve daily relationships. Horace emphasizes steady work over quick fixes and partners with clients to track progress and refine strategies as needed.

How Horace’s Approaches Work Online
Attachment-based therapy looks at how early connections affect current relationships and emotional patterns. Online sessions can help people name those patterns, practice new ways of relating, and repair trust in everyday interactions. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and supporting the person's own choices. In remote sessions this means the therapist creates a steady, non-judgmental space where clients can explore feelings and decide what changes matter most to them. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) identifies unhelpful thoughts and behavior cycles and replaces them with practical alternatives; via video or messaging clients can learn and practice those techniques between meetings.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. That might mean mixing approaches, trying short experiments, and checking what helps most over time.
Online formats offer flexibility and different ways to engage. Video calls let people work face-to-face when deeper conversation is helpful. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier when on-camera time is difficult. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for brief check-ins, practicing skills, or keeping momentum between sessions. Licensed professionals can tailor the mix of formats to fit schedules and the practical demands of daily life.
