Myles Machado

Myles Machado is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) practicing in Florida. He approaches each person as the expert on their own story and focuses on strengths people already have. He intends to offer steady support for those ready to take the first step toward change.

Myles emphasizes practical steps people can use between sessions. He draws on approaches such as client-centered conversation, cognitive behavioral tools, and mindfulness to help manage stress and anxiety. Sessions also address grief, self-esteem, addiction concerns, and relationship stress in straightforward terms.

With seven years of experience, Myles aims to make therapy feel like a collaborative effort. He listens for what matters most, then works with people to set clear, achievable goals. He also uses motivational interviewing strategies to help when change feels difficult or stalled.

People reach out to him for help coping with life changes, parenting strain, career stress, compassion fatigue, and chronic illness challenges. He pays attention to attachment and abandonment worries and supports those dealing with infidelity, codependency, or isolation.

Myles offers a calm, practical style that prioritizes real-life problems and usable skills. To begin, readers are encouraged to use the site Start Therapy flow to complete a short matching questionnaire and arrange a first session according to his availability.

Approaches that work in online sessions

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening closely and following the person's priorities. The therapist reflects what matters, helps clarify values, and supports self-directed goals. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact and uses concrete exercises to change unhelpful patterns. CBT can help with anxiety, low mood, and coping with life transitions. Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) offers skills for regulating emotions and managing intense reactions, which can be useful for stress, anger, or impulsivity.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about what feels most useful and try different techniques to see what fits. Goals, preferences, and day-to-day needs guide those decisions rather than a fixed formula.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life and keep momentum between meetings. It can allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight and reduce travel time. Because session formats are not listed here, please confirm the current options before booking so you know which formats are offered and can plan accordingly.
