About Myles
Myles Machado is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Florida with seven years of experience. He works with adults dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship pain, and codependency patterns. He also addresses grief, addiction-related struggles, self-esteem, and career or parenting pressures.
Myles believes people know their own stories and brings a straightforward, respectful style to sessions. He listens first and helps people name what they want to change. Conversations focus on practical steps and clearer decision making rather than jargon or pressure to move fast.
In sessions he uses approaches such as client-centered techniques, cognitive behavioral ideas, and elements from dialectical behavior therapy and mindfulness. That means identifying unhelpful thinking, learning skills to manage strong emotions, and practicing new ways of responding when relationships feel overwhelming.
Myles often helps people worried about boundaries, caretaking fatigue, or staying stuck in people-pleasing habits. He also supports those coping with illness, caregiving stress, or loss, and men facing isolation or commitment concerns. Work can include setting limits, improving communication, and managing cravings or compulsive behaviors.
People meet him for clear, goal-focused conversations and skills they can use between sessions. To start, he asks about current struggles, what matters most, and what small changes feel doable. From there he and the person build a plan that fits their life and responsibilities.
How sessions work
How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Myles uses client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy in ways that fit remote sessions. Client-centered work focuses on listening deeply to what matters to the person and shaping sessions around their concerns. It helps when someone needs a space to clarify values and priorities. Cognitive behavioral therapy looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and teaches concrete tools to change them. That can be useful for anxiety, low mood, and patterns like people-pleasing.He also draws from dialectical behavior therapy skills to teach emotion regulation and distress tolerance. Those skills are practical and can be practiced between meetings. Deciding which mix of approaches to use is a collaborative process. The therapist and person review goals, try techniques, and adjust as they learn what helps most.
Confirm the therapist's current session options before booking so you know how meetings will take place. The online format can make it easier to fit therapy into a workday, allow shorter check-ins when needed, or remove travel time. Talk with him about what scheduling, session length, and communication style will fit your routine and needs.
