About Myra

Myra Botello is a licensed marriage and family therapist with 12 years of clinical experience in California. She speaks English and Spanish and offers compassionate support for people facing stress, anxiety, depression, and challenges with focus and attention. Her style is straightforward and encouraging, aimed at helping people take practical steps forward.

She centers sessions on each person's strengths and story. She views clients as experts in their own lives and works alongside them to identify what gets in the way. That can mean tackling low motivation, building confidence, or easing symptoms of anxiety and social fear.

Her background includes work with survivors of trauma and abuse and with people coping with guilt, shame, and relationship communication problems. She also helps those who struggle with concentration, memory, and attention differences commonly associated with ADHD.

Therapy with her often focuses on clear, manageable goals. Conversations aim to identify small changes that add up over time. She encourages practical strategies combined with reflection so people can notice progress between sessions.

Practical approaches that fit everyday life

Myra uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques focused on practical change and emotional recovery. One approach emphasizes building clear, achievable goals to reduce anxiety and improve mood; this helps people break large problems into small steps. Another approach focuses on processing trauma and its effects through paced conversation and skill development to manage reactions and reduce distress.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they choose methods that match the person’s needs and adjust the plan as progress is made.

Session logistics can matter for fitting therapy into a busy life. The site notes that sessions use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time, but specific session formats are not listed in the provided biography.
