About Markyse
Markyse Bernadin is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with five years of practice based in Florida. She focuses on stress, anxiety, family concerns, trauma and abuse, self-esteem, depression, and addictions among other issues. Sessions are offered in English and Haitian Creole. She uses practical, goal-focused methods to help people address day-to-day struggles and emotional pain.
Markyse describes therapy as a collaborative process where the client’s experience guides the work. She leans on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot unhelpful thoughts and patterns, and incorporates client-centered listening to make space for each person’s perspective. She also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy and mindfulness practices when skills training and emotion regulation are needed.
She completed a bachelor’s and master’s degree at Barry University and is currently working toward a PhD in social work. Her background in social work shapes a focus on real-life problems like parenting stress, caregiving strain, and practical coping during major life changes. She also addresses relationship issues, intimacy concerns, grief, and concerns related to sexual identity.
Her style emphasizes concrete steps and realistic goals. Clients can expect to talk through current problems, try short experiments outside sessions, and learn skills for managing strong feelings. Music and creative interventions may be used when they fit a person’s preferences.
Before scheduling, confirm the current session formats and details. Starting therapy includes a short matching questionnaire and then booking an initial appointment.
How her approaches shape online sessions
Markyse commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and routines. CBT sessions focus on clear goals, practical skill practice, and brief experiments to test new ways of thinking and acting.She also uses Client-Centered Therapy, which centers the person’s own perspective and priorities. That approach means the therapist listens closely and adjusts the pace and focus to what the client brings. Dialectical Behavior Therapy elements are used when emotion regulation and distress-tolerance skills are helpful, offering concrete tools for managing intense feelings.
Finding the right method is collaborative. She will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before. Together they decide which approaches to prioritize and when to try different techniques or skills training.
Confirm current session formats before booking since session types were not specified in the biography. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into daily life by removing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins when needed, and letting people choose a time that works around work or caregiving. Discuss with her how to structure sessions to match your schedule and goals.
