About Myles
Myles Childs is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) practicing in California with five years of clinical experience. He works with adults on stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, family concerns, trauma and abuse, and coping with life changes. Myles lists young adult issues among his focuses and supports people facing transitions like leaving home, study, work beginnings, and shifts in identity.
Myles uses individual and relational work to help people notice patterns that get in the way. He pays attention to how attachment, communication, and cultural background shape relationships. Sessions aim to identify practical steps you can try between meetings, and to rewrite unhelpful stories people tell themselves.
He draws on multiple evidence-based techniques to help with symptoms of post-traumatic stress, grief, anger, and problems at work. Myles also addresses topics such as codependency, blended family challenges, commitment and communication problems, guilt and shame, and life purpose questions. Sessions include time to name strengths and set realistic goals.
As a therapist of color, he highlights cultural context when it matters to a client's concerns. He offers a direct, respectful approach that focuses on skills, patterns, and decisions rather than vague platitudes. Myles encourages clients to bring the real, everyday problems they face in their work, studies, and relationships.

How Myles' approaches translate to online work
He uses evidence-based techniques to help people change unhelpful stories and build new patterns. One common approach focuses on understanding attachment and how early relationship patterns shape current behavior; this helps with communication problems, commitment worries, and relationship stress. Another approach works with trauma-informed methods to reduce symptoms from past abuse and post-traumatic stress by pacing work and teaching coping skills.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. He will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences. That collaborative process includes checking progress and adjusting techniques over time rather than sticking to a single prescription.

In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. They also let people continue work when relocating or living abroad, which can be helpful for young adults juggling study and early career moves.
