About Markyse

Markyse Bernadin is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) with five years of practice, based in Florida. She combines an empathetic, goal-oriented stance with practical interventions to help clients manage stress, anxiety, grief, relationship challenges, addiction issues, and a wide range of life transitions.

Background and approach

She emphasizes clients' strengths and views each person as the expert on their own life while offering structure to address symptoms and patterns that interfere with wellbeing. Her approach blends cognitive behavioral strategies with client-centered listening and elements of dialectical and mindfulness work, tailored to fit individual needs.

Sessions may include discussions of family dynamics, coping with trauma or identity-related concerns, and support for emotional regulation and self-esteem. Markyse also integrates creative tools like music-based interventions when appropriate, reflecting her belief in multiple pathways to healing.

Raised in South Florida, she holds bachelor's and master's degrees from Barry University and is pursuing a PhD in social work. She offers sessions in English and Haitian Creole and provides multiple communication formats to meet clients where they are.

How therapeutic approaches guide online sessions

Markyse uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients identify and challenge unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, teaching practical skills for managing anxiety, depression, and stress. Client-Centered Therapy informs her relational stance, emphasizing empathic listening and unconditional positive regard so clients can explore concerns at their own pace and clarify their goals. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) techniques may be introduced to strengthen emotion regulation and interpersonal effectiveness when clients struggle with intense emotions or relationship conflicts.

Choosing a therapeutic approach is collaborative and often evolves over time. The therapist and client work together to determine which methods best match the client’s needs, values, and goals, and they adjust strategies as progress and preferences become clearer.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, which supports flexible scheduling and access from different locations within Florida. These options make it easier to attend regular sessions, practice skills between meetings, and integrate therapy into a busy life while working with a licensed professional.
