About Lucila

Lucila Coba is a licensed mental health counselor practicing in Florida who blends evidence-informed methods to help people manage stress, anxiety, relationship challenges, parenting concerns, and life transitions.

Background and approach

With 12 years of professional experience, she integrates approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to tailor support to each person’s needs while drawing on client-centered and mindfulness-based techniques when helpful.

She works with issues that include grief, intimacy-related struggles, compassion fatigue, self-esteem, and communication problems, and she also addresses a wide range of related topics such as attachment concerns, caregiver stress, blended family dynamics, and body image. Lucila emphasizes the strengths clients already bring and collaborates to build practical skills for coping and decision-making.

Bilingual in English and Spanish, she offers services to speakers of both languages in Florida and aims to create a respectful, strengths-focused space where progress is guided by clients’ values and goals.

Evidence-Informed Approaches for Online Support



Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people identify and shift unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors that contribute to anxiety, stress, or relationship difficulties; it often includes practical exercises to build new coping skills. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying personal values and learning to accept difficult internal experiences while committing to meaningful actions, which can be useful for grief, self-esteem, and life transitions. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy, respect, and collaboration, offering a supportive environment where clients lead the pace and focus of change.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist works with each client to explore which methods fit their situation, goals, and preferences, and adapts techniques across sessions to better meet evolving needs and priorities.

Online therapy in this practice is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for varied schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to access care from home or other convenient locations, maintain continuity during life transitions, and choose the mode of communication that best supports one’s therapeutic goals.
