Lucila Coba, LMHC

Lucila Coba is a licensed mental health counselor practicing in Florida. She brings 12 years of experience helping people manage anxiety, stress, relationship concerns, and parenting strains. Lucila speaks English and Spanish and frames therapy around each person’s strengths and story.

She uses an integrative approach, drawing on several effective methods to match the needs of the person sitting across from her. Sessions focus on practical steps people can try between meetings, and on building motivation and clearer communication patterns. Work may include skills for coping with life changes, grief, and intimacy-related concerns.

Lucila often combines cognitive behavioral techniques with mindfulness and acceptance strategies to help people notice unhelpful patterns and try new responses. Motivational interviewing ideas support people who want to reclaim drive and direction in daily life. The clinician-centered stance means the person’s goals guide the pace and focus.

Her additional focus areas include family and family-of-origin issues, abandonment and attachment concerns, caregiver stress, body image, and forgiveness. She also addresses challenges around commitment, communication problems, divorce and separation, and compassion fatigue. Conversations are practical and grounded so people can test changes and see what fits.

If someone is unsure how to start, Lucila encourages a first step of completing a brief intake so goals are clear. That information helps match the approach and plan how to move forward together.

How approach and online work come together

Lucila commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck, then identify values-based actions to move forward. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying thought patterns and trying practical behavior changes to reduce symptoms like anxiety and stress.

She aims to find the right mix of methods collaboratively. The therapist will review your goals and preferences, then suggest approaches to try. That plan can change over time based on what helps and what feels manageable.

Confirm current online session options before booking so you know what formats are offered. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy day, allow a shorter check-in when needed, and reduce travel time. It also lets people keep momentum between sessions by practicing skills in their everyday settings. A few simple adjustments can make online sessions feel focused and useful, and the therapist will help tailor each appointment to your needs and schedule.
