About Markyse
Markyse Bernadin is a licensed clinical social worker with five years of practice in Florida. She meets people where they are and aims to offer straightforward, goal-focused support. Her style blends empathy with practical steps so clients can address stress, anxiety, depression, and related concerns.
Markyse uses a collaborative approach that treats each person as the expert on their life. Sessions emphasize clear goals and realistic strategies to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning. She often incorporates music-based ideas, reflecting her belief in music as a healing tool.
Her training includes a Bachelor’s and Master’s degree from Barry University, and she is currently pursuing a PhD in social work. That academic background informs a reflective, evidence-minded practice without losing sight of everyday concerns.
Markyse draws on methods from client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), Jungian ideas, and mindfulness. Those approaches shape practical exercises, thought-work, emotion regulation skills, and opportunities to reflect on meaning and values.
She speaks English and Haitian Creole, and integrates attention to cultural context into conversations when helpful. She has worked with people facing trauma, grief, relationship and intimacy questions, parenting stress, substance concerns, identity-related issues, and coping after major life changes or disasters.
Outside of work she gardens, travels, listens to music, and learns ukulele. Those interests sometimes inform session ideas and at-home practices that clients can use between meetings.
How therapeutic approaches fit into online care
Markyse uses client-centered work and cognitive behavioral therapy in ways that translate well online. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening, empathy, and helping the client guide each session; it helps when someone needs a space to talk and be understood. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) teaches practical skills to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can be practiced between sessions to manage anxiety, low mood, or stress.Finding the right fit is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and everyday routines to choose approaches that match what the client wants to achieve. Clients and therapist can adjust the plan as progress unfolds.
The original biography lists messaging, phone, and video call as ways Markyse meets people; confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, or offer phone options if video is not practical. These practical benefits help people use therapy consistently while working toward their goals.
