About Lillian
Lillian Cunningham helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, and issues related to LGBT identity. She also supports people facing low self-esteem, body image struggles, questions about sexuality, and concerns tied to abandonment or life purpose. Lillian is a Florida LMHC with three decades of clinical experience.
Sessions begin with a clear look at what the person wants to change. She works together with each person to set goals and build a straightforward plan that fits their life.
How Lillian works
Conversations are direct and practical, with simple tools to manage symptoms between appointments. Her work draws on approaches such as cognitive behavioral techniques and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to shift unhelpful thinking and strengthen values-based action. She also uses Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing for processing traumatic memories when appropriate.
Client-centered principles guide how she listens and responds during sessions. Lillian’s background includes long experience as a clinician and as a professor of psychology, which she brings into session in a plainspoken way. She focuses on helping people find balance, regain confidence, and make steady progress toward clearer goals.
People meet her in an approachable style that values practical steps and steady support. She explains techniques in everyday language and checks in often to adjust the plan. For many, the combination of concrete skills and thoughtful listening makes therapy feel manageable and useful.

How Lillian’s Approaches Work Online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice anxious or unwanted thoughts and then choose actions that match their values. It focuses on small, steady steps people can practice between sessions to live a more meaningful life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, targets the thinking and behavior patterns that keep stress and depression going and offers concrete strategies to change them. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, EMDR, is a trauma-focused method that helps process distressing memories and reduce their emotional intensity when that work is appropriate.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Lillian will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, then suggest methods that fit those needs. She adapts tools over time so sessions remain helpful and relevant, and decisions about techniques are made together.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and guided interventions. Phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited or a quieter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for brief updates, homework support, or when a shorter exchange fits someone’s schedule. These options make it easier to continue consistent care without extra travel or time off work.
