About Markyse
Markyse Bernadin is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) practicing in Florida. She offers messaging, phone, and video call sessions and aims to meet people where they are. Her style mixes empathy with clear, realistic goals.
She often frames therapy as helping clients use their own strengths to move forward. Sessions with Markyse focus on practical changes and steady progress. She listens first, then helps people set small, achievable steps they can try between meetings.
Background and approach
That approach applies to issues such as stress, anxiety, depression, grief, addictions, and parenting concerns. Markyse also works with relationship and intimacy-related issues, LGBT concerns, anger, and life transitions like career change or coping after trauma. She draws on several therapy methods to match each person’s needs rather than using just one technique.
Her background includes a bachelor’s and master’s degree from Barry University, and she is pursuing a PhD in social work. With five years of professional experience, she combines current training with practical tools to help clients make changes that matter in daily life. Outside of work she enjoys gardening, travel, and music.
She sometimes incorporates music-based ideas into sessions when it fits a client’s goals. Sessions are offered in English and Haitian Creole for people in Florida and beyond who are not international clients.

How her approaches translate to online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to each person’s perspective. It helps people feel heard and supported while they identify what they most want to change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and actions affect mood and behavior and teaches practical skills to shift unhelpful patterns, which can help with anxiety, depression, and stress. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches skills for managing strong emotions and improving relationships, and can be useful when someone struggles with intense emotional reactions or self-destructive behaviors.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. The therapist works collaboratively with the client to pick methods that match goals, needs, and preferences. She will adjust tools over time if something isn’t working and will suggest concrete exercises to try between sessions.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls let people see nonverbal cues and have a fuller conversation. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a quieter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging offer quick check-ins or ongoing support between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, parenting, or travel schedules while keeping the focus on consistent, practical progress.
