Myles Machado

Myles Machado is a licensed clinical social worker who focuses on helping people handle hard moments and move forward. He emphasizes a respectful, straightforward style that puts the client's goals first. Many people come to him for help with stress, anxiety, grief, self-esteem, depression, addiction concerns, relationship strain, and career questions.

He approaches sessions with the belief that clients are the experts on their own lives. That means conversations center on what matters most to the person in the room and on practical steps they can try between meetings. Sessions are intended to be collaborative, with Myles listening and offering tools drawn from several evidence-informed approaches.

With seven years of experience and a Florida LCSW credential, he draws on a mix of methods including client-centered work, cognitive behavioral techniques, dialectical behavior strategies, mindfulness practices, and motivational interviewing. These approaches are used to address issues such as trauma, coping with life changes, compassion fatigue, and communication problems.

Myles also supports people navigating family stress, parenting challenges, attachment and abandonment concerns, chronic illness or caregiver strain, and end-of-life issues like hospice and bereavement. He aims to help clients find clearer next steps and more manageable ways to handle feelings.

Sessions are offered in English and he accepts international clients. To begin, visitors use the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule according to therapist availability.

How these approaches translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening closely and following the client's lead. Online sessions using this approach aim to create space for the client to tell their story and set goals that matter to them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) offers clear, practical techniques to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors; online CBT often includes working on exercises between sessions to build new habits. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) provides skills for managing intense emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness, which can be taught and practiced during remote meetings.

Finding the right approach is part of the process and Myles treats it as a collaboration. He will work with each person to choose methods that fit their needs, goals, and preferences rather than prescribing a single path. Sessions can shift over time as priorities change, combining listening with skills practice when that suits the client.

The original profile does not specify which session formats are provided, so confirm available options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, for example by cutting travel time, allowing shorter check-ins on a break, or letting someone join from a location with less background noise. Licensed professionals often adapt exercises and worksheets to remote settings so progress continues between meetings.
