About Lucila
Lucila Coba is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) practicing in Florida. She brings 12 years of experience helping people manage anxiety, stress, relationship concerns, self-esteem struggles, parenting challenges, and major life transitions. Lucila speaks English and Spanish and uses a flexible approach to match each person's needs.
In session she draws from several well-known methods and adapts them to the problem at hand. She helps clients notice unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors.
Background and approach
She uses acceptance-based and mindfulness skills to reduce reactivity and build steadiness. She also listens closely and centers the client's own goals when planning next steps. Lucila often works with people coping with grief, compassion fatigue, family and communication problems, intimacy-related issues, and changes tied to aging or caregiver roles.
She also supports those dealing with body image, abandonment concerns, commitment questions, and the fallout of divorce or blended family stress. Her style is collaborative and straightforward. Sessions focus on practical steps, small experiments, and clearer communication.
Clients leave with tools they can use between meetings to feel steadier and more able to handle day-to-day challenges. Lucila encourages realistic, gradual change. She helps people build on strengths and develop skills that fit their life.
Getting started involves a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a session based on availability.
Online therapy using acceptance, mindfulness, and behavior strategies
Lucila commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her online work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting controlled by them, then commit to actions that match their values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors to reduce anxiety and improve mood.She also brings a client-centered, listening-first stance to remote sessions. That means the therapist collaborates with each person to decide which approaches fit best. Together they set goals, try techniques, and adjust the plan based on what works and what doesn’t.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video is useful when seeing facial cues matters. Phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited. Live chat or text is helpful for shorter check-ins, quick skills practice, or when typing feels easier than talking. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and try methods in the situations where challenges actually happen.
