About Lillian
Lillian Cunningham helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, and issues related to sexual identity. She also supports concerns like low self-esteem, body image, abandonment, and questions about life purpose. She practices in Florida and brings three decades of clinical experience to her work.
Lillian takes a straightforward, person-focused approach. She listens first and helps each person set clear goals. Sessions are tailored to the individual, with practical steps to try between meetings.
Background and approach
She aims to create a calm and respectful space where people can talk honestly about painful experiences. Her work draws on a few well-known methods. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, for example, helps identify unhelpful thinking and build different habits.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy focuses on values and actions, guiding people toward what matters most. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing is used for processing past traumatic memories when that is needed. Over 30 years in the field have given her experience with a wide range of emotional concerns.
She combines conversational, client-centered listening with targeted exercises. The result is a mix of practical tools and time to process emotions. Lillian is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHC, practicing in Florida.
Sessions are offered in English and are available via several online formats to fit different needs and schedules.
Therapeutic approaches and online options
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small steps toward those values while learning to accept difficult emotions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and trying specific exercises to change patterns of thinking and behavior. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) can be used when there are past traumatic memories that keep causing strong reactions; it involves guided processing to reduce emotional charge.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences, and together they will decide which methods to try. That collaborative process can include mixing elements from different approaches to fit what helps most.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which makes scheduling more flexible. Video calls allow more visual connection for longer sessions, while phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat or text messaging can work well for brief check-ins, quick skill coaching, or follow-up between sessions. These options make it easier to arrange care around school, work, or family commitments while keeping the focus on progress and practical skills.
