About Myles
Myles Childs is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) practicing in California with five years of professional experience. He works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, and the challenges of life change. He also lists specific focuses such as attachment, communication problems, divorce and separation, forgiveness, and feelings of guilt and shame.
Myles uses a client-centered stance in sessions. He helps people identify strengths they already have and uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address unhelpful narratives. Sessions often include talking through patterns in relationships and how past experiences shape present feelings and behavior.
He describes therapy as a collaborative process where the client leads and the therapist supports. That can mean practicing different ways of communicating, examining how shame or guilt affects choices, or developing coping strategies for stress and trauma. The emphasis is on practical skills and clearer thinking rather than labels or judgment.
As a therapist of color he intentionally honors cultural differences and diversity in the room. He aims to offer space for people to be authentic without fear of criticism. He also notes experience working with veterans and multicultural concerns among his focus areas.
For someone carrying guilt or shame, sessions will include looking at how those feelings developed, how they show up now, and what small steps feel manageable. To begin, clients follow the platform process to match and schedule a first session.
How evidence-based techniques translate to online sessions
Evidence-based therapeutic techniques here refer to practical, research-backed methods used in session. One common approach is working with unhelpful narratives - that means identifying recurring thoughts or stories someone tells about themselves, then testing and rewriting those stories so they cause less distress. This helps with shame, guilt, and relationship patterns.Another approach focuses on attachment-related work, which looks at how early relationship experiences shape current behavior. In plain terms this can involve noticing interaction patterns, trying new ways of asking for needs, and practicing responses that reduce reactive conflict. These techniques are often useful for communication problems, commitment concerns, and blended family issues.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist collaborates with each person to pick methods that fit their goals and day-to-day life. That means checking what feels useful, adjusting techniques, and building on what already helps the client.
Confirm which session formats are offered before booking, as the biography does not list specific formats. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time so therapy fits around work or family responsibilities. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises to video or phone settings depending on what works best for the client.
