About Myles
Myles Machado is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Florida with seven years of professional experience. He works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, addictions, parenting strain, relationship issues, and a range of family concerns. Sessions are presented plainly and directly to help with day-to-day pressures at home.
Myles centers sessions on the person's own perspective and strengths. He uses approaches that include client-centered methods, cognitive behavioral techniques, dialectical behavior strategies, mindfulness, and motivational interviewing. In practice he talks through problems, helps people try different ways of coping, and supports clearer communication about difficult topics.
People often come for help with parenting stress, family conflict, attachment and abandonment issues, or the emotional fallout from illness and caregiving. He also works with concerns such as infidelity, isolation, codependency, and career-related stress. Myles pays attention to how stresses at home can shape mood and behavior.
In sessions he aims to identify practical steps clients can use between meetings. That may include short behavioral experiments, communication skills practice, or mindfulness exercises to reduce reactivity. He frames these as tools to try and revise rather than fixed rules.
Myles accepts international clients and conducts sessions in English. He asks people to complete a brief matching questionnaire to begin and then schedule an initial meeting. Fees vary with location and use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.
How sessions work
How his approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy starts from the idea that the client knows their life best. The therapist listens, reflects, and helps clarify priorities so clients can decide what to try next. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and testing small experiments to change them. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress related to parenting or family conflict. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) provides concrete skills for managing strong emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness. These skills can help with anger, impulsivity, and relationship problems.Finding the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked in the past. Together they will try methods that fit the client’s needs and adjust them as progress is made.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy day, reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins during a break, or avoid needing to be on camera when that helps. Licensed professionals can use these flexible options to focus on practical skills, communication practice, and short behavioral experiments that connect directly to everyday life.
