About Myles

Myles Machado is a Florida Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with seven years of professional experience. He works with adults who want to manage stress, anger, anxiety, depression, and relationship strain. He helps people handle grief, parenting pressures, addictions, and career-related distress.

Myles frames the client as the expert in their own life. He listens for strengths and practical resources a person already has. Sessions focus on clear, usable steps rather than abstract theories. Conversations are straightforward and goal oriented.

His work draws on several practical approaches. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people spot thought patterns that feed anger and anxiety. Dialectical Behavior Therapy offers skills for emotional regulation and tolerating distress. Mindfulness practices are used to increase present-moment awareness and reduce reactivity.

Myles also uses Client-Centered methods and Motivational Interviewing to support change at a pace that fits the person. He pays attention to attachment and abandonment concerns when those come up. He supports people dealing with chronic illness, caregiver stress, or end-of-life issues by addressing the emotional strain these situations create.

Sessions aim to reduce reactive responses and build better communication. He helps people break cycles of resentment, manage impulsivity, and repair trust where possible. Those wanting to explore their anger or improve how they show up under stress will find a practical, skills-focused approach with clear next steps.

How his approaches work in online sessions

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person's goals and experience, with the therapist offering reflection and support rather than direction. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify unhelpful thoughts and builds practical exercises to change reactions and behavior. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) provides concrete skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improving interpersonal effectiveness.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist and client decide together which combination of methods fits the issues, goals, and personal preferences. That collaborative process may shift over time as needs change.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and make it simpler to continue work during life changes. Licensed professionals can use these sessions to teach skills, run behavioral experiments, and practice communication strategies that translate into day-to-day interactions.
