About Lillian

LMHC Lillian Cunningham has 30 years of clinical experience and works with stress, anxiety, depression, self-esteem problems, LGBT concerns, and trauma and abuse. She practices in Florida and uses a mix of therapies named in her biography to help people process painful experiences and find clearer ways forward.

Lillian focuses on practical goals set with each person. She talks through current problems, identifies what matters most, and maps steps to reach those goals. Sessions use methods the bio lists, including cognitive work and trauma-focused techniques.

Her background includes long experience as a professor of psychology and as a practicing psychotherapist in Miami. That mix means she draws on research-informed approaches while keeping attention on the person in front of her. Her credential is LMHC, which is shown as FL LMHC in the biography.

In session she combines active, skills-based work and time for processing difficult memories. That can look like practicing new ways of thinking, doing focused trauma processing, and using reflective conversation to make sense of feelings. She adapts the mix to the concern presented.

Lillian also lists additional focus areas such as body image, abandonment, sexuality, post-traumatic stress, life purpose, women's issues, and self-love. People who reach out should expect a goal-oriented collaboration that pulls from several named approaches to address specific problems.

To start, the biography directs prospective clients to a short matching questionnaire and scheduling steps. Confirm current session options and formats before booking to make sure they match your needs.

How chosen therapies are used in online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying what matters to you and taking committed steps toward those values. It teaches simple practices to notice thoughts and move toward meaningful action, which can help with anxiety, depression, and life-purpose questions.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions interact. Sessions often include identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and practicing different ways of responding to reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression.

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a trauma-focused approach designed to help process distressing memories and reduce their emotional charge. It can be used when trauma or post-traumatic stress is a central concern.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will review your needs, goals, and preferences and recommend one or more methods from those she uses. That decision is made collaboratively and can change as therapy progresses.

Confirm current session formats before booking, since the biography does not list specific options. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and avoid travel for appointments. Discuss practical arrangements and session length with the therapist when you schedule your first meeting.
