About Lucila
Lucila Coba is a Florida Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with 12 years of clinical experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, relationship and parenting concerns, self-esteem, coping with life changes, grief, intimacy-related issues, and compassion fatigue. Sessions are offered in English and Spanish.
Lucila uses an integrative approach that draws on several methods. She mixes Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Client-Centered techniques, mindfulness, and Motivational Interviewing. In practice this means she helps people notice what matters, learn skills to manage difficult thoughts, and practice new ways of relating to themselves and others.
Her work often begins with listening to the story that brought someone in. She helps people name their main struggles and sets small, practical goals. Conversations focus on what to try between sessions and how to handle setbacks without getting stuck.
When relationships are a concern she supports clearer communication and explores attachment and commitment patterns. For parents she offers ways to manage stress and caregiver strain while addressing family of origin or blended family issues when those come up.
Lucila also addresses grief, guilt, shame, body image, abandonment, aging concerns, and coping after disasters or separation. She uses straightforward exercises from CBT and mindfulness alongside values-based work from ACT to help people take manageable steps forward.
To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial session. The therapist explains next steps and what to expect during that first meeting.
How her approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people clarify their values and commit to small, practical actions that align with what matters to them. It is useful for feelings of emptiness, life transitions, and when someone wants direction rather than just symptom relief. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and testing new behaviors. It is often used for anxiety, stress, and problems with self-esteem by teaching concrete skills to manage symptoms.Finding the right approach is part of therapy itself. The therapist works collaboratively to identify which methods suit a person's goals, preferences, and day-to-day constraints. She will discuss options and adjust techniques as progress and challenges emerge.
Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current online session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when time is tight, and remove the need to travel. They also let people practice skills in real-life settings and use screen or audio-only modes when those better match a person's needs.
