Myles Machado

Myles Machado is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people facing anger, stress, anxiety, grief, and relationship strain. He communicates plainly and meets people where they are. He treats concerns like depression, addiction, parenting stress, and issues related to identity and LGBT concerns. Myles centers sessions on the client’s own story and strengths. He uses practical tools to manage intense emotions and impulsivity. Conversations focus on small, doable changes that improve daily life and relationships. He draws from several therapeutic approaches to shape each session. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps people identify unhelpful thinking and try new behaviors. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, offers concrete skills for emotion regulation and reducing reactive behavior. Myles also uses Client-Centered Therapy and Motivational Interviewing to support a person’s own goals. Mindfulness techniques are used to build calm and focus in stressful moments. These methods are blended to fit what each person needs. With seven years of experience as an LCSW in Florida, Myles brings steady clinical practice and practical problem solving. He supports people dealing with caregiving stress, chronic illness, communication issues, and recovery from trauma. To begin, a short matching questionnaire and scheduling step are used to connect people to his work.

How his approaches translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what matters to you. The therapist follows your lead and helps you shape goals that feel useful. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts and behaviors to make small changes that reduce distress and improve daily functioning. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches concrete skills for managing intense emotions and reducing impulsive reactions. Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with you about your needs and goals and suggest which methods to try. You and the therapist adjust the plan together as progress is made. Please confirm which session formats are offered before booking, since specific formats are not listed here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy routine, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. They can also let someone join from a quieter location or avoid needing to be on camera for a session. Licensed professionals can use these options to help clients practice skills and track changes between sessions.
