About Myles

Background and approach

Myles emphasizes that beginning therapy is a courageous step and aims to provide steady encouragement throughout the process. He brings seven years of clinical experience as an LCSW licensed in Florida (FL LCSW SW15833) and draws from a mix of evidence-informed approaches.

His practice integrates cognitive behavioral techniques with client-centered principles and mindfulness-based skills, along with tools from DBT and motivational interviewing when helpful. Myles works with a wide range of concerns including family and relational issues, trauma and abuse, parenting and caregiver stress, chronic illness and end-of-life matters, and many forms of grief and life transition challenges.

He communicates in English and accepts international clients, offering sessions through multiple online formats to fit varied schedules and preferences.

Integrating practical approaches for online care

Many clients benefit from clear, skills-based methods such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which helps identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and replace them with more adaptive patterns to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress. Client-Centered Therapy complements this by focusing on the client’s perspective and strengths, offering a supportive space where personal goals and values guide the work. Dialectical Behavior Therapy adds tools for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, useful for managing intense emotions and relationship difficulties.

Choosing the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to explore goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful in early sessions, then tailor the plan and teach practical skills that fit the client’s life and needs.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility and access. These options make it possible to maintain continuity of care around busy schedules, travel, or geographic distance while still focusing on evidence-informed techniques and supportive therapeutic collaboration.
