About Markyse

Markyse Bernadin is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Florida with five years of clinical experience. She offers straightforward, goal-focused support for people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship and intimacy concerns, and substance issues. Sessions are conducted in English and Haitian Creole.

Markyse describes her work as client-centered and practical. She uses clear conversation and real tasks people can try between sessions. She combines Client-Centered Therapy with cognitive-behavioral and mindfulness techniques to address daily stressors and mood problems.

Her interests include trauma, family challenges, parenting strain, abandonment and adoption-related questions, and issues around sexuality such as BDSM and kink. She also works on career concerns, coping with life changes, anger, and feelings of emptiness or isolation. She lists motivational interviewing and dialectical behavior therapy among the approaches she uses when useful.

Markyse studied at Barry University and is pursuing a PhD in social work. Outside of clinical work she gardens, travels, and plays the ukulele. She may incorporate music-related interventions when appropriate.

For people who want practical, conversational help, sessions aim to identify small changes that make daily life easier. The starting step is completing the site matching questionnaire and scheduling a first session to clarify goals and preferences.

BHow sessions work

How therapeutic approaches translate to online sessions

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting so the client steers the topics. It helps people who need support naming priorities and making practical decisions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviors and sets small, specific tasks to change unhelpful patterns; it is useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with stress. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) builds skills around emotion regulation and distress tolerance, which can help with strong emotions, anger, and relationship conflicts.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, try approaches that fit those goals, and adjust methods based on what helps. This is a collaborative process rooted in what the client says is most pressing and useful.

Confirm current session formats before booking. The practical benefits of online sessions include fitting appointments into a busy schedule, having shorter check-ins when time is tight, or choosing phone when video is difficult. Online work can make it easier to meet between commitments and to continue regular skill practice at home. Discuss preferred session rhythm and format during the initial scheduling step so sessions fit into everyday life.
