About Lucila
Lucila Coba is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in Florida. She brings 12 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, parenting challenges, and changes in life. She speaks English and Spanish and uses everyday language to make sessions easy to follow.
She practices an integrative style that draws from several well-known approaches. That means she adapts tools to fit each person's situation instead of using one fixed method.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on clear, practical steps you can try between meetings and on building strengths you already have. Common topics she addresses include self-esteem, grief, intimacy-related issues, and compassion fatigue. She also supports people facing abandonment wounds, attachment difficulties, blended family dynamics, caregiver stress, and communication problems.
Conversations aim to make difficult problems feel more manageable and to increase the skills people use day to day. Her work combines acceptance-based ideas with cognitive and mindfulness strategies to reduce distress and increase meaningful action. Motivational interviewing elements can help when motivation feels low or change feels overwhelming.
Therapy sessions usually include short goal-setting, skill practice, and space to talk about what matters most to you. Lucila encourages a collaborative relationship where the client’s perspective leads the work. She describes clients as the experts on their lives and helps them test small changes that align with their values.
For parents, she offers focused support around parenting stress and related relationship concerns.

Online approaches that fit your life
Lucila often uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice thoughts without getting stuck in them and to take steps that align with their values. This approach can be useful for anxiety, life transitions, and parenting decisions. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking and develop practical skills for changing behavior and reducing worry or stress.Finding the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will listen to your goals and preferences and suggest techniques to try. Together you can experiment with methods and adjust the plan if something does not feel helpful, keeping the focus on meaningful change rather than rigid rules.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video calls let you see facial cues and practice skills in conversation. Phone sessions require less bandwidth and can be easier during a busy day. Live chat or text messaging can work for quick check-ins, shorter reflections, or when typing feels more comfortable. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, parenting, and daily life.
