About Myles

Myles Jackson is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Illinois and a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) in Michigan with three years of experience. He works with adults facing depression, addictions, low self-esteem, anger, and coping with life changes, including feelings of guilt and shame. He also focuses on impulsivity, questions about life purpose, and workplace issues.

He helps people name what feels overwhelming and then talks through what to try next. Sessions tend to be practical and focused on day-to-day changes, like handling anger, slowing impulsive reactions, or choosing healthier responses at work. He listens for the patterns that keep problems repeating and works with clients to interrupt them.

Myles draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide the work. That can include strategies to manage strong emotions, skills for clearer decision-making, and steps for rebuilding trust with oneself after mistakes. He explains options plainly and practices them in-session so clients leave with specific tools.

He aims to address guilt and shame directly, helping people understand how those feelings influence behavior and relationships. Discussions often include forgiveness as a personal process and practical ways to change how people relate to past actions.

How therapeutic approaches shape online sessions

Many of the techniques used are drawn from evidence-based therapeutic methods that focus on clear, practical skills. One common approach emphasizes emotion regulation skills - teaching ways to notice strong feelings, slow down, and respond rather than react. This helps with anger, impulsivity, and moments of intense guilt or shame.

Another helpful approach concentrates on behavioral changes and decision-making. It breaks problems into small steps, practices new responses in-session, and plans repeatable actions for everyday life. This approach is useful for addictions, workplace issues, and making shifts in life purpose or routine.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options and decide together which methods fit the client’s needs, goals, and preferences. That collaborative process includes trying techniques and adjusting what doesn’t help.

Session logistics should be confirmed before booking since formats are not specified here. Please check current session options when you select the See online therapy options button. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a workday, reduce travel time, or allow a shorter check-in when needed, while still focusing on practicing skills and addressing guilt and shame in concrete ways.
