Myra Botello, LMFT

Myra Botello is a California-licensed therapist with 12 years of professional experience. She practices as an LMFT, which stands for Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, and brings focused experience supporting people who struggle with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, ADHD-related focus challenges, self-esteem, motivation, and issues with concentration and memory.

Her work also addresses related concerns such as communication problems, guilt and shame, self-love, and social anxiety or phobia. She approaches therapy from a strengths-based perspective, honoring that each person is the expert of their own story and has resources to draw on while navigating difficult moments. Myra aims to build practical skills and insight that help clients manage symptoms and improve day-to-day functioning.

Recognizing that beginning therapy can require courage, she validates that first step and offers steady support as clients set goals and experiment with new strategies. Myra combines her clinical experience with warm, collaborative care to help individuals move toward greater confidence, clearer focus, and improved emotional well-being.

Evidence-Based Approaches for Online Care

Myra uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques tailored to each person’s needs. She draws on trauma-focused work that helps individuals process and reduce the ongoing impact of past abuse or stressful events, supporting safer ways to relate to memories and emotions. She also employs skills-based strategies to address anxiety, stress, attention and concentration concerns - practical tools for managing overwhelming thoughts, improving focus, and building routine. Additionally, Myra emphasizes strengths-focused and self-compassion practices to bolster self-esteem, reduce guilt and shame, and encourage healthier self-talk.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Myra collaborates with clients to determine what fits best. She works jointly with each person to set goals, try different techniques, and adjust the plan based on what helps most for their situation and preferences.

Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility, allowing clients to meet by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to schedule sessions around work, family, and other commitments while maintaining continuity of care with a licensed professional. The remote format supports consistent progress through convenient, regular contact with a therapist.
