Myles Machado, LCSW

Myles Machado is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief, and trauma and abuse. He works with individuals who are struggling with relationship concerns, self-esteem, addiction, or parenting stress. He presents a calm, respectful presence and focuses on practical steps people can use day to day.

Myles believes clients are the experts in their own stories and that people already have strengths to build on. He encourages small, manageable changes and supports people through difficult life moments. Beginning therapy is framed as a courageous step toward a clearer, more satisfying life.

In sessions he listens closely and follows each person’s pace. He uses a mix of approaches to match what the client needs. That might mean talking through patterns, practicing new skills, or trying different ways to make thoughts less overwhelming.

Before therapy starts he helps people identify goals and priorities. Over time he tracks progress and adjusts the plan based on what helps most. His practical orientation aims to reduce daily stress and improve coping for common concerns like depression and anxiety.

Myles completed clinical training and holds the LCSW credential, with seven years of professional experience. He practices in Florida and offers sessions in English. People outside the U.S. can inquire about working together, and he will clarify the best way to connect when you begin the process.

How therapy approaches shape online work

Myles draws on client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy to guide online sessions. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening, empathy, and helping the client set the pace; it’s useful for people who need a supportive space to make sense of their experience. Cognitive behavioral therapy looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and offers tools for changing unhelpful patterns, which can help with anxiety, depression, and stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. He will work with each person to figure out which methods fit their goals and preferences. That means trying strategies, checking whether they help, and adapting the plan together as progress is made.

Practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions into a busy life and reducing travel time. Some people find shorter check-ins easier to schedule during a break, while others prefer fuller sessions when they can set aside more time. Because the exact session formats are not listed here, please confirm current options before booking so you know how sessions will be delivered. Online work can make it easier to practice new skills between meetings and to build consistency without reorganizing your whole day.
