About Markyse
Markyse Bernadin is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Florida with five years of clinical experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, parenting challenges, trauma and addiction. Sessions are offered in English and Haitian Creole.
Markyse favors a realistic, goal-oriented style. She describes clients as the experts on their own lives and focuses on practical steps that reduce daily stress. Conversations are direct and focused on what a person wants to change next.
Her background includes a bachelor's and master's degree from Barry University, and she is currently pursuing a PhD in social work. That training shapes how she blends evidence-based methods with attention to life context. She also draws on music as a tool and sometimes uses music-related interventions.
In sessions she uses approaches such as Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Jungian Therapy, and Mindfulness Therapy. These tools are used to address mood, coping skills, communication problems, and patterns that repeat in close relationships.
People often come for help with parenting strain, family problems, grief, intimacy-related issues, and career stress. She also works with people who are processing abandonment, adoption and foster care, or issues around kink and alternative sexual culture. The focus is on concrete strategies and ongoing problem solving.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what matters most to the person. It helps when someone needs to be heard and to clarify their own goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions interact and teaches specific skills to change unhelpful patterns. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress management. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) emphasizes skills for regulating strong emotions, handling conflict, and improving day-to-day coping.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has or has not worked before. Together they adjust techniques and priorities so sessions stay practical and relevant.
The biography indicates sessions can be conducted by messaging, phone, or video call, so confirm current session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. They also let a person use phone calls when bandwidth or being on camera is difficult. Discussing how to structure sessions happens during the first scheduling steps to match therapy to everyday life.
