About Lucila
Lucila Coba is a Florida licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) with 12 years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing anxiety, stress, relationship and parenting concerns, self-esteem struggles, grief, and difficulty coping with life changes. Lucila sees clients in English and Spanish and draws on several therapy methods to support practical change.
She uses approaches that fit each person's needs rather than one fixed method. That can mean focusing on thoughts and behaviors, practicing mindfulness skills, or helping people clarify their values and take committed steps. Sessions tend to center on usable strategies and straightforward conversation, not technical jargon.
Lucila often helps people deal with family and attachment issues, abandonment, intimacy worries, and the emotional fallout of separation or caregiving stress. She also addresses body image, guilt and shame, communication problems, and the exhaustion that can come from compassion fatigue.
Her background includes work across varied settings over more than a decade, giving her experience with real-world stresses like job changes, caregiving demands, and major life transitions. Expect practical tools you can try between sessions and check-ins about what is or isn’t working.
Sessions are offered in English and Spanish. Lucila asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire to begin and to schedule a first session through the therapist’s online options.
How Lucila’s approaches translate to online sessions
Lucila commonly draws from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). ACT focuses on clarifying what matters most and taking steps that reflect those values, which can help when feeling stuck after school or during early career changes. CBT looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions to build practical coping skills for anxiety and stress.She also uses client-centered techniques that prioritize the person's perspective and motivational interviewing to strengthen readiness for change. Finding the right mix is collaborative - she will work with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences, and adjust over time based on what helps.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make therapy easier to fit into a busy schedule, reduce commute time, and allow quieter check-ins during a lunch break or between classes. Some approaches, like CBT exercises or ACT values work, translate well to remote sessions because they use worksheets, short experiments, and weekly practice that fit into everyday life.
