About Myra
Myra Botello is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) in California with 12 years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, depression, and difficulties with focus and concentration. She also addresses communication problems, guilt and shame, self-love, and social anxiety and phobia.
Myra listens to each person’s story and treats them as the expert on their life. She helps people identify strengths they already have and uses those strengths to address current struggles. Sessions move at a practical pace with clear steps to try between meetings.
Her work often centers on managing anxious thoughts, improving daily routines that affect concentration, and practicing small changes in social situations. She supports people in talking through painful memories and learning ways to reduce their impact. Myra also helps clients build clearer communication skills and greater self-compassion.
She blends structured, evidence-based techniques with conversational support. That means some sessions will involve learning specific skills, and others will be a chance to reflect and plan. Progress is tracked in concrete ways so people can see what is changing.
Myra offers therapy in English and Spanish for adults in California. She asks new clients to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session. The practice uses a subscription model that can be canceled at any time, and fees vary by location.
How evidence-based techniques translate to online sessions
Myra uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical skills and clear steps. One common approach teaches ways to notice and change unhelpful thought patterns, which can lower anxiety in social situations and daily life. Another approach targets attention and routine changes to support concentration and symptoms often linked with ADHD, helping people organize tasks and reduce overwhelm.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Myra will help identify which techniques fit a person’s goals and preferences, and she adjusts plans as progress and feedback come in. The process is collaborative and focused on what feels useful day to day.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into an ordinary week, such as scheduling shorter check-ins during a lunch break or avoiding travel time. It also lets people join from different locations within California, which can help maintain continuity when life gets busy.
