About Myra
LMFT (Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist) in California with 12 years of experience. Myra Botello helps people address stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, depression, and challenges related to concentration and focus. She speaks English and Spanish and works with adults who seek support for these concerns.
Myra focuses on practical, evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people reduce symptoms and build coping skills. Sessions involve talking through current problems, identifying strengths, and practicing small changes that fit daily life. She encourages clients to notice what already works for them and to build on those strategies.
Her work includes support for attention and concentration difficulties often described as ADHD. She helps clients break tasks into manageable steps, develop routines, and improve focus through concrete strategies rather than abstract goal-setting.
Myra also addresses issues around trauma and past abuse by pacing discussions and helping clients regain a sense of control over difficult memories. For anxiety and depression she emphasizes skills that reduce overwhelming feelings and restore everyday functioning.
Communication problems, guilt and shame, self-love, and social anxiety are also areas she commonly addresses. The approach is collaborative: she partners with each person to set goals and try techniques that fit their life. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.

How evidence-based approaches are used in online sessions
Myra describes her work as grounded in evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical skills. One common approach she uses is skill-based coping work that teaches concrete strategies for managing anxiety and stress, such as breath work, grounding steps, and behavioral activation to re-engage in everyday tasks. These techniques help reduce overwhelming feelings and improve daily functioning.Another approach centers on attention and focus strategies for people with concentration difficulties. This involves breaking tasks into smaller steps, creating routines, and practicing simple organizational habits to make tasks feel more manageable. These interventions are aimed at improving productivity and easing frustration related to focus problems.
Choosing the best approach is a collaborative process. She will work with each person to identify goals, try methods that fit their needs, and adjust plans based on what helps. The emphasis is on testing small changes and building useful habits together.
Confirm current session formats before booking, as the biography does not list specific options. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. Talk with her during the matching process about the session length and frequency that will fit your day-to-day life.
