About Markyse
Markyse Bernadin is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Florida with five years of clinical experience. She offers practical, goal-focused work for people dealing with stress, anxiety, anger, depression, relationship struggles, addiction, and a range of other life challenges. Sessions are conducted in English and Haitian Creole.
Markyse describes therapy as collaborative. She treats clients as the experts on their own lives and helps them name problems and set clear steps forward. Her approach blends conversation with action so people leave sessions with concrete things to try between meetings.
She uses methods drawn from client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, Jungian ideas, and mindfulness. That mix lets her use skills training, thought work, and reflection to address emotional reactions and patterns that keep recurring.
Her background includes a bachelor’s and master’s degree from Barry University, and she is currently working on a PhD in social work. Markyse grew up in South Florida and brings that regional perspective to her practice.
Outside of clinical work she gardens, travels, and plays the ukulele. She sometimes integrates music-based interventions in sessions when it fits the client’s goals.
People contact her to work on things like parenting stress, grief, intimacy concerns, career pressure, identity questions, and coping after trauma or major life changes.
How her approaches translate to online work
Markyse uses client-centered work, cognitive behavioral therapy, and dialectical behavior therapy in ways that fit remote sessions. Client-centered work focuses on listening and understanding the client’s priorities so goals are set together and progress is tracked. Cognitive behavioral therapy involves identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce upset and anger. Dialectical behavior therapy offers practical skills for managing strong emotions, improving distress tolerance, and handling interpersonal stressors.Finding the right combination of approaches is part of the early work. She will discuss goals, try different techniques, and adjust the plan based on what the client finds helpful. That collaborative process helps shape sessions around skills practice, thinking work, or reflective exploration depending on the need.
The practical benefit of remote sessions is fitting therapy into a busy life. Confirm current session options before booking so you know which formats are available. Online work can make it easier to have shorter check-ins, use phone when bandwidth is limited, or attend from a location that reduces travel time. These practical choices help people keep therapy consistent alongside work, family, or schooling commitments.
