About Myra

Myra Botello is a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) based in California with 12 years of professional experience supporting people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, and depression.

Background and approach

She brings a strengths-based perspective that recognizes each person as the expert on their own life, and she emphasizes collaboration and respect for clients' existing resources and resilience. Myra has worked with concerns related to concentration and focus, including ADHD, as well as challenges tied to communication problems, guilt and shame, self-love, social anxiety, and phobia.

She encourages clients to view the decision to seek help as a courageous step, offering steady guidance while helping them build confidence and practical skills to address emotional and cognitive difficulties. Sessions are offered in both English and Spanish, and her approach prioritizes finding workable strategies that fit an individual's goals and daily life.

Myra aims to create a supportive atmosphere where progress is paced to each client's needs and where strengths are woven into the process of healing and growth.

Practical therapeutic approaches and flexible online care

Myra draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on building skills and understanding patterns. One common approach she uses helps people identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce anxiety and depression, teaching practical tools for managing mood and attention. Another approach emphasizes trauma-informed strategies that gently explore past experiences while establishing safety and coping skills to process difficult memories and reactions.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. She works with each client to assess needs, goals, and preferences, and then tailors methods so they fit the person’s life and priorities. Clients and therapist fine-tune the plan as progress unfolds to ensure a good match between technique and therapeutic aims.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which can make it easier to access care from home or while juggling work and family responsibilities. These formats offer flexibility in scheduling and allow ongoing contact between sessions in ways that can support consistent progress and skill practice.
