About Myles
Myles Machado is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief, depression, and addictions. He speaks plainly and aims to make first steps feel manageable for a worried parent or someone under pressure. His approach centers on listening and building from what already works in a person's life.
Myles believes each person knows important parts of their own story. He uses that knowledge to help people notice strengths and patterns that matter.
Background and approach
Sessions are collaborative and focused on practical changes that fit day-to-day life. He combines Narrative ideas with client-centered care and practical skills from cognitive behavioral approaches. That mix lets people reframe difficult memories, test new ways of coping, and practice different habits between sessions.
Mindfulness techniques are used to help with strong emotions and grounding. Myles has seven years of professional experience and holds a Florida LCSW - Licensed Clinical Social Worker. He draws on that experience when helping people sort through relationship worries, parenting stress, career strain, or burnout from caregiving roles.
People also bring issues like attachment concerns, chronic illness, codependency, anger, and isolation. Myles works with LGBT concerns, end-of-life and hospice related stress, and challenges connected to cancer and chronic pain. He aims to make therapy understandable and useful from the first visits.
Sessions focus on clear goals and small steps people can try between meetings. The tone is direct and compassionate, with an emphasis on finding approaches that actually fit a person's life.

Online session options
How narrative and skills work in online therapy
Online sessions with Myles often bring together narrative ideas and focused skill practice. Narrative Therapy helps people name the stories they tell about themselves and notice parts of those stories they might want to change. This approach can help with identity questions, relationship patterns, and grief by making those stories clearer.Client-centered work means sessions start from the person’s own goals and pacing. The therapist listens closely, reflects back what matters, and supports people in choosing next steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy adds practical exercises and small behavior changes to reduce anxiety and improve mood.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Myles treats this as a collaboration - he helps clients weigh options and adapts methods to their goals and preferences. That makes it easier to try something and then adjust if it isn’t fitting.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls are useful when face-to-face conversation helps, phone sessions work well for lower bandwidth or a shorter check-in, and chat or messaging can be a good fit for quick updates or people who prefer not to use video. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy days and different routines.
