About Lucila
Lucila Coba is a Florida-licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) with 12 years of experience. She works with people who struggle with anxiety, stress, relationship concerns, parenting strain, self-esteem, grief, and other life changes. Sessions are offered in English and Spanish.
She uses an integrative approach that draws on several methods rather than one fixed protocol. That means sessions can include practical exercises from cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), values-based work from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and simple mindfulness practices. Lucila helps people talk through current problems and build concrete skills they can use between sessions.
Clients can expect direct, readable explanations and step-by-step strategies for everyday challenges. Lucila often focuses on communication skills, ways to manage worry, and steps to address feelings of guilt or shame. She also supports people coping with family of origin issues, blended family concerns, caregiver stress, and aging-related questions.
Her work addresses specific relationship topics such as commitment, intimacy-related issues, abandonment, and divorce or separation. For people dealing with loss, she provides practical tools for processing grief and rebuilding routines. She also helps with body image worries and the fallout from natural or human-caused disasters.
Lucila aims to set clear short-term goals and revisit them as therapy progresses. If you read Spanish, sessions can be in English or Spanish to suit your comfort. To begin, follow the site’s process to view online therapy options and schedule a first appointment.
Therapeutic approaches and how online sessions work
Lucila often uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people clarify what matters most to them and take small steps toward those values. ACT focuses on noticing difficult thoughts and choosing actions that align with preferred directions, which can help with anxiety and life changes.She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and try new behaviors. CBT offers short, practical exercises for worry, low mood, and relationship interactions. Alongside these, simple mindfulness practices are used to build present-moment awareness and reduce reactivity.
Finding the right mix of methods is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with the client to decide which approaches fit the person’s goals and preferences, and will adjust methods over time based on what helps.
Session logistics and exact online formats should be confirmed before booking. The site’s matching process and scheduling tools guide next steps. Online work can make it easier to fit brief check-ins into a lunch break, avoid travel time, or choose sessions that do not require video when that is preferred. Ask about session length and the available formats during the scheduling step so arrangements match everyday life.
