About Liesl
Liesl Botelho is a licensed clinical social worker with 15 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship strain, and low self-esteem. She aims to create a calm space where clients can stop pretending they’re fine and begin naming what’s overwhelming them. Her approach is direct and compassionate, focused on practical steps people can use between sessions.
She listens for what matters most and helps clients reconnect with their sense of confidence.
How Liesl works
Conversations focus on real-life concerns like trouble communicating, feeling isolated, or coping with divorce and separation. She also addresses issues that can come with aging and geriatric transitions, veteran and armed forces experiences, and challenges facing young adults. Liesl’s sessions cover common mood disorders and the guilt or shame that often follows loss or strained relationships.
She helps people untangle feelings and practice small changes that improve daily life. Expect clear, manageable goals and a pace that fits each person’s needs. Clients will find attention to both emotional experience and practical problem solving.
Liesl encourages self-compassion and building healthier habits in relationships. She works in English and practices in Florida as an LCSW (licensed clinical social worker). Her style combines steady listening with straightforward suggestions.
That makes her a fit for people who want help sorting through painful feelings, improving communication, or gaining tools to handle stress and mood concerns.

Online support options
Evidence-based approaches and online care that fit your life
Many evidence-based therapeutic techniques focus on changing unhelpful thoughts and building new habits. One common approach helps people identify troubling thought patterns and then test them with small, practical experiments to reduce anxiety and low mood. Another approach concentrates on grief and loss by creating space to remember and process difficult feelings while developing ways to carry on day-to-day routines.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods match their needs, goals, and preferences. That means checking in about what helps and adjusting the plan as therapy progresses.
If you are considering online sessions, confirm the specific session formats available before booking. Online work can make therapy easier to fit into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also help people keep continuity of care when life gets hectic. Ask about current session options so you can choose what fits your routine and technology.
