About Lillian
Lillian Cunningham is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in Florida with 30 years of experience. She works with people managing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, and LGBT concerns. She also focuses on life purpose, self-esteem, body image, abandonment issues, sexuality, post-traumatic stress, self-love, and women's issues.
She uses a mix of approaches in sessions and aims to help clients identify practical goals. Lillian uses tools drawn from cognitive behavioral methods, acceptance and commitment ideas, client-centered listening, and EMDR when appropriate. In conversation she helps people clarify what matters next and what small steps they might try.
Sessions start by mapping current concerns and setting short-term goals. She listens to what people report, checks what has worked before, and suggests concrete practices to test between sessions. Work can include talking through past events, learning new ways to manage anxious moments, and practicing choices that reflect a client's priorities.
Her background includes academic work in psychology alongside clinical practice. That mix informs a focus on practical techniques grounded in psychological theory. She brings three decades of clinical experience to help people sort through life transitions and questions about purpose.
Lillian asks clients to be active collaborators in planning therapy. That includes reviewing progress regularly and adjusting methods if something isn’t helping. The emphasis is on clear steps and steady progress rather than promises of quick fixes.
How her approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and commit to small actions that reflect their values. It is useful for anxiety, low motivation, and questions about purpose.Client-Centered Therapy focuses on careful listening and reflecting back what the client says. It helps people feel heard and clarifies what they want to change.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches concrete techniques to test and change thought patterns that contribute to anxiety and depression. Homework and short experiments are common features.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Lillian will work with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That decision is collaborative and can be adjusted over time as needs change.
The biography does not list which session formats she uses, so confirm current options before booking. In general, online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow for shorter check-ins when schedules demand, and reduce travel time. It can also make it simpler to continue work between major life changes. Licensed professionals use these formats to keep therapy practical and focused on daily steps rather than theory.
