About Lizandra
Lizandra Montero is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Florida with three years of clinical experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, compassion fatigue, and the challenges that come with life changes. Sessions are offered in English and Spanish. She does not accept international clients.
Montero uses practical, skills-based methods to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and habits. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques alongside client-centered conversations and motivational interviewing. Sessions focus on small, doable changes - practicing new responses, testing assumptions, and building routines that reduce anxiety and increase coping.
Her work also addresses trauma-related concerns and attachment issues. She uses trauma-focused strategies when past events keep affecting daily life. For concerns like panic attacks, mood disorders, body image, and caregiver stress, she emphasizes step-by-step tools and brief experiments clients can try between sessions.
Montero helps with relationship communication, forgiveness, guilt and shame, isolation, and navigating divorce or separation. She supports people working through pregnancy and childbirth concerns and those struggling with life purpose or chronic control issues. Practical problem solving and clear goal-setting are central to her approach.

How her approaches translate to online therapy
Montero uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice thoughts and habits that keep problems going. CBT sessions typically focus on identifying specific thoughts, trying different responses, and practicing small behavioral changes that fit daily life. Client-Centered Therapy provides space for people to describe their experience while the therapist reflects and clarifies what matters most to the client. Motivational Interviewing is used when someone feels stuck or unsure about change. It involves short, goal-focused conversations that help a person weigh options and find internal reasons to try new strategies. Together these approaches aim to create clear steps and short experiments clients can try between sessions. Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which approaches match their needs, goals, and preferences. That choice can shift over time as progress and priorities change. The profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. Those practical benefits often help people keep therapy consistent while they practice new skills.Areas of expertise
