About Lillian
Lillian Cunningham is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) practicing in Florida who offers long-standing clinical experience to people coping with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, and concerns related to LGBT identity and self-esteem.
Background and approach
She draws on three decades of practice to tailor treatment plans that address issues such as abandonment, body image, life purpose, post-traumatic stress, self-love, sexuality, and women's issues. Her style emphasizes collaboration and attentiveness, aiming to build a strong therapeutic relationship so clients feel heard and respected.
Lillian integrates evidence-informed approaches including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Client-Centered Therapy, and EMDR to meet each person's needs, selecting techniques that align with individual goals and circumstances. She provides therapy in Florida and communicates in English, bringing both clinical and teaching experience to her work.
Clients work with Lillian to set clear goals and follow a personalized plan that adapts over time. Her practice focuses on helping people move toward greater emotional balance, clearer life direction, and improved self-regard while drawing on methods suited to the presenting concerns.
Therapeutic approaches and online care
Licensed professionals use distinct methods to address emotional and behavioral concerns, and Lillian draws on several evidence-informed approaches to suit different needs. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns to reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression and teach practical coping strategies. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) emphasizes values-based action and mindfulness skills to increase psychological flexibility and help clients live in alignment with what matters most.Choosing the right method is part of the collaborative process. The therapist works with each client to explore which approaches fit their goals, symptoms, and preferences, adapting the plan over time when needed so the care remains relevant and useful.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which provide flexible ways to attend sessions from different locations and schedules. These formats can make it easier to maintain continuity of care, access therapy when life is busy, and use the approaches above in a way that fits individual routines and needs.
