About Lizandra
Lizandra Montero is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Florida with three years of clinical experience. She works with adults, adolescents, and children on issues such as anxiety, depression, stress, and coping with life changes. She also focuses on concerns like compassion fatigue, self-esteem, and questions about life purpose.
Montero uses clear, evidence-informed methods to help people manage symptoms and make practical changes. Sessions emphasize improving day-to-day coping skills, addressing unhelpful thoughts, and building steps toward clearer priorities. She blends conversation with concrete strategies so clients leave with things they can try between meetings.
Her work draws on client-centered methods that prioritize the person’s experience and on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify thinking patterns that maintain distress. She also uses Solution-Focused Therapy and Motivational Interviewing to set achievable goals and support motivation. For people affected by trauma, Trauma-Focused Therapy is part of her approach when appropriate.
Montero is comfortable working with issues that touch relationships, such as attachment concerns, communication problems, divorce and separation, and caregiving stress. She also addresses body image, guilt and shame, isolation, panic attacks, and mood-related problems. Her approach can include faith perspectives when clients ask for that integration.
Sessions are conducted in English and Spanish. Fees vary by location and use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. To begin, prospective clients are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session.
How her approaches translate to online work
Lizandra commonly uses Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Solution-Focused Therapy in her clinical work. Client-Centered Therapy centers on listening closely to the person’s experience and helping them clarify what matters. CBT looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep stress or low mood going and teaches practical techniques to change those patterns. Solution-Focused Therapy targets clear, short-term goals and helps clients identify steps they can try right away.Choosing a therapeutic approach is a collaborative process. She will work with each client to decide which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. That choice can change over time as priorities shift or new issues arise.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy routine, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time so people can attend between other responsibilities. Licensed professionals often adapt exercises and homework to suit remote sessions, keeping the focus on practical, usable tools rather than theory.
