About Lucila

Lucila Coba is a licensed mental health counselor in Florida with 12 years of experience. She speaks English and Spanish and uses a narrative-informed, person-centered approach to help people navigate stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, parenting strains, and life changes. She starts by listening to each person's story and identifying strengths they already have.

Sessions focus on clear goals and practical steps. Conversations are straightforward and geared toward real change rather than jargon.

Background and approach

Lucila draws from narrative therapy, acceptance and commitment ideas, cognitive behavioral techniques, and mindfulness practices. She tailors these methods to the issue at hand, whether someone needs help with grief, self-esteem, communication problems, or coping after a separation. Clients may work on skills like spotting unhelpful thinking, building small daily habits, and practicing mindful acceptance of difficult feelings.

She also addresses family of origin issues, blended family concerns, caregiver stress, and intimacy-related worries in ways that fit each person’s situation. Her bilingual ability supports Spanish-speaking clients who prefer to talk in that language. Lucila aims to make the process collaborative: she helps people try options, notice what works, and adjust the plan as needed.

Getting started involves a simple match and scheduling process. Lucila frames therapy as a step-by-step effort, where small changes add up over time and people regain a clearer sense of direction.

Online session options

How narrative and evidence-based methods translate to online care

Lucila combines narrative ideas with acceptance and commitment and client-centered practices to guide online work. Narrative Therapy helps people reframe the stories they tell about themselves and their relationships, which can reduce feelings of shame and self-blame. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) teaches practical steps for living with difficult thoughts and feelings while committing to valued actions. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy and listening so clients feel understood and can lead the pace of change.

Choosing the right approach is part of the process. Lucila collaborates with each person to test methods that fit their goals and preferences. That might mean starting with a narrative conversation, adding CBT-style exercises to shift patterns, or trying mindfulness practices to reduce stress. She checks in regularly and adjusts the plan together with the client.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat works for shorter check-ins, and text messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving, or other daily demands while keeping the focus on practical progress and real-life change.
