What Lucinda says about the work

Reproduced in full and unedited - not summarised, not tightened, not rewritten in a house voice.

Congratulations on taking time for yourself and engaging in some counseling . I am a Mental Health Counselor and Marriage and Family counselor licensed in Florida with over 20 years of experience working in counseling, coaching and providing skills building group classes. During this time, I have had the opportunity to work with clients presenting a variety of concerns including personal growth, work/career changes, and coping during periods of transitions. All of these opportunities can present unique challenges and growth opportunities. Support with counseling can be a great collaboration during each of these experiences.

My counseling style is interactive, goal focused and collaborative. My job is to provide you with a safe environment for you to share your concerns, reinforce your strengths, and clarify your path to greater success. My approach is cognitive-behavioral, humanistic, and rational-emotive. Through our time together, you will clarify your plan for both short- and long-term goals and start working toward your prioritized goals.

Taking action to get here is a great step toward achieving your goals! I wish you great success in your journey and look forward to the opportunity to work with you on your path.

Great success and joy!

03 · How Lucinda works

The 2 approaches Lucinda lists, in plain English

These are the clinical methods Lucinda lists. The descriptions are Maker Therapy's, not Lucinda's - a general explanation of what each method is, so the list means something before you have spoken to anybody. They are not a claim about how Lucinda runs a session.

Client-Centred TherapyPerson-centred · Rogerian

The therapist does not steer toward a technique or a diagnosis. They offer sustained, non-judgemental attention and reflect back what they hear, on the premise that people find their own direction when they are genuinely listened to. Often what people mean by “someone who just gets it”.

Solution-Focused Brief TherapySFBT

Starts from where you want to end up rather than from how you got here. Sessions look for the times the problem is already smaller and work out what is different about those, so the number of sessions tends to be short and the work concrete.

04 · What happens next

From this page to a first session

Lucinda practises through BetterHelp, so the route in is BetterHelp's. This is that sequence, written by Maker Therapy from the platform's published process - not a description of Lucinda's own practice, and not a promise about how quickly anything happens.

1. A questionnaire, not a booking form

   BetterHelp opens with a set of questions about what you are dealing with, what you want from therapy, and any preferences on the therapist. You are not booking Lucinda at this point.

2. Naming Lucinda specifically

   BetterHelp matches algorithmically by default, so asking for Lucinda is a step you have to take. There is a field for requesting a specific therapist during sign-up, and you can switch afterwards from your account. Starting from a link on this page does not by itself assign you to Lucinda.

3. If the caseload is full

   You will be offered somebody else rather than put on a waitlist. Worth knowing, because it is easy to assume a match is the person you asked for.

4. The first conversation

   A first session is typically history and orientation: what brought you, what has been tried, what you want to be different. It is also where the questions in the next section belong.

5. If the fit is wrong

   Changing therapist on BetterHelp does not need a reason. A first session that does not click is common and is not a verdict on therapy. That option existing is the main practical difference between a platform and a private practice.

05 · Before you commit

3 questions worth asking Lucinda

Built from what Lucinda actually lists, so they are answerable and specific rather than generic. Maker Therapy's, not Lucinda's - Lucinda has not seen them and is under no obligation to answer any of them.

• “You list both Solution-Focused Brief Therapy and Client-Centred Therapy. Which do you lean on with someone like me?”

  Those two point in different directions - one structured and led by the therapist, the other led by you. The answer tells you what the sessions will actually feel like.

• “With 18 years in, what has changed most in how you work?”

  Long experience is only an advantage if it has been examined. This tends to surface whether it has.

• “How do you handle the gap between sessions if something comes up?”

  On BetterHelp this varies a great deal by therapist. Better to know the rhythm now than to discover it on a bad week.

07 · Provenance

Where every line on this page came from

Lucinda's name, credential, state, subjects, approaches and biography are read from BetterHelp's therapist roster, which Maker Therapy re-reads once a day; this page reflects the reading taken on 9 Oct 2026. The licence number and NPI are cross-checked against public registers.

The plain-English method descriptions, the first-session walkthrough and the questions are written by Maker Therapy and labelled as such wherever they appear.

Maker Therapy is not BetterHelp, does not take bookings, and has not met Lucinda. There are no reviews or ratings on this page because we have no way to verify one. If you start therapy through a link here, we may be paid a commission - it does not change your price and it does not affect who appears here or in what order.
