Myles Machado, LCSW

Myles Machado is a Florida-based licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, and addictions. He focuses on practical steps people can use right away. He treats concerns such as grief, relationship strain, self-esteem struggles, and work-related pressure. He also supports people dealing with trauma, caregiving stress, chronic illness, and LGBTQ issues.

Myles believes each person knows their story best. He encourages clients to build on strengths they already have. Sessions aim to be straightforward and respectful, with clear goals and steps to try between meetings.

In therapy he blends several approaches to match what a person needs. He uses client-centered work to listen and reflect what matters most. He brings in cognitive behavioral ideas to spot and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. He also teaches mindfulness skills and some DBT techniques for regulating strong emotions.

Myles has seven years of professional experience and holds the LCSW credential in Florida. He works with adults on issues including addiction, parenting stress, career concerns, and compassion fatigue. He accepts clients from other countries as well as within the U.S.

To start, people are asked to use the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule based on availability. The subscription model used for sessions can be canceled at any time.

How these approaches fit into online therapy

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what matters to the person. It helps people feel heard and clarify what they want to change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect and teaches practical steps to try different responses. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, offers skills for managing intense emotions and improving how people cope with stress.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods match their goals and preferences. This means trying techniques, checking how they feel, and adjusting the plan together over time.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm available options before booking. Online therapy can make scheduling easier and help fit sessions into daily life, such as shorter check-ins during a work break or sessions that avoid commuting time. It also allows people to practice skills between meetings and brings tools directly into their normal routines. Licensed professionals can guide which methods and session rhythm are most helpful given a person's needs.
