About Myles
Myles Machado is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, licensed in Florida with seven years of practice experience. He focuses on common life stresses such as anxiety, depression, grief, and struggles with self-esteem. He also works with people facing addiction, trauma and abuse, relationship concerns, parenting strain, and career stress.
His approach centers on listening and helping people use their own strengths. Sessions are practical and grounded. He draws on client-centered methods so the person's goals lead the work.
Myles uses cognitive behavioral techniques to help people notice and change unhelpful thought patterns that feed anxiety and low mood. He incorporates dialectical behavior ideas when emotions feel overwhelming, offering skills for managing intense feelings and improving interpersonal effectiveness.
Mindfulness and motivational interviewing also appear in his practice to support focus, motivation, and gradual change. These tools are used alongside conversation about real-life demands like family, work, health, or caregiving responsibilities.
People often come to him for issues tied to attachment, abandonment, codependency, chronic illness, hospice or end-of-life concerns, and compassion fatigue. He helps break problems into manageable steps and looks for workable strategies clients can try between sessions.
BHow sessions work
How his approaches translate to online sessions
Myles uses client-centered work and cognitive behavioral therapy to focus on concrete problems and goals. Client-centered therapy means the person sets priorities and the therapist follows their lead to understand concerns. CBT involves identifying thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and practicing new ways of responding to reduce anxiety or low mood.He also uses dialectical behavior therapy ideas when emotions are intense. DBT-related skills teach attention, distress tolerance, and ways to handle conflict or impulsivity. These approaches are practical and often involve doing small exercises between sessions to test what helps in daily life.
Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. The therapist and client discuss goals, what has or hasn't helped before, and decide together which techniques to try. That collaboration guides whether the focus is skills training, changing thinking patterns, or working through grief and life changes.
Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving, or medical appointments, and they can allow shorter check-ins or phone-only conversations when that suits scheduling or bandwidth needs.
