Lizandra Montero, LCSW

Lizandra Montero is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Florida with three years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, compassion fatigue, and big life changes. She sees individuals who are working through mood and trauma-related concerns and speaks English and Spanish.

Her approach draws on practical, evidence-informed methods. Sessions focus on clear goals and manageable steps. She uses client-centered conversation to understand what matters to each person, and then applies tools from cognitive behavioral therapy and solution-focused methods to change unhelpful thoughts and build coping skills.

Lizandra also uses trauma-focused strategies when past events continue to affect daily life. Motivational interviewing is part of her work when someone wants help making a change but feels unsure where to start. Together these approaches help with panic, post-traumatic stress, and persistent patterns like control issues or isolation.

In sessions she addresses specific topics such as attachment concerns, body image, caregiver stress, communication patterns, divorce and separation, guilt and shame, and pregnancy and childbirth challenges. The focus is practical problem solving and skills practice rather than labels.

She integrates a person’s values when relevant, including faith or spiritual perspectives, or keeps the work secular and skills-based if that is preferred. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the See online therapy options button.
