About Lucila

Lucila Coba is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Florida with 12 years of experience. She works with adults on anxiety, stress, relationships, parenting challenges and self-esteem. She also supports people facing life transitions, grief, intimacy-related concerns and compassion fatigue. Sessions are offered in English and Spanish.

Lucila uses a mix of evidence-based methods to match what each person needs. She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, Mindfulness practices and Motivational Interviewing to help people notice patterns and try new ways of responding. In sessions she helps clients name the problem, set small goals, and practice skills between meetings.

When blended household issues come up, she focuses on clear, practical steps. That can mean sorting roles, talking through loyalty conflicts, and finding ways to balance parenting and partner responsibilities. She helps people with communication problems, co-parenting tensions, and the stress of adjusting to new routines.

Her approach is straightforward and task-focused. Clients can expect to work on concrete strategies for coping, communication, and managing anxiety. Progress is paced to each person's needs and goals, with attention to cultural and language preferences when requested.

To begin, Lucila asks people to complete a short questionnaire and schedule a first session. The process aims to clarify priorities and pick an approach that fits current life demands.

Therapeutic approaches and online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck on them, then clarify personal values and take small actions toward those values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with practical experiments and behavior changes. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and supporting the client's own problem solving while encouraging self-directed goals.

Choosing the right approach is collaborative. The therapist and client will review goals, try methods, and adjust what isn’t working. Sessions may blend techniques so the plan fits the client’s current priorities and everyday life demands.

Confirm the specific session formats before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week and to keep continuity during life transitions. It can allow for shorter check-ins, reduce travel time, and make scheduling around work or caregiving commitments simpler. If you want to proceed, complete the initial matching questionnaire and schedule a first session to discuss what format will work best.
