Markyse Bernadin

Markyse Bernadin is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) based in Florida. She uses a straightforward, empathetic style and aims to meet people where they are so therapy feels doable even when it seems hard.

Her sessions combine empathy with clear goals. She invites clients to name the problems they want to change and then works toward practical steps. Markyse believes clients are the experts on their own lives and offers a space to speak openly while the two of them figure out what helps.

Her background includes a bachelor’s and a master’s degree from Barry University, and she is currently working on a PhD in social work. She draws on several familiar approaches to help people manage stress, anxiety, mood shifts, and relationship struggles. Music and creative activities sometimes appear in sessions as part of the work.

People come to her for help with life transitions, grief, addiction concerns, parenting strain, and questions about identity and intimacy. Markyse also addresses issues such as abandonment, caregiver stress, communication problems, and finding life purpose. Her work aims to reduce overwhelming feelings and build skills for day-to-day coping.

Outside of practice she enjoys gardening, travel, and learning the ukulele. Those interests shape a collaborative, human approach that focuses on small, steady changes rather than quick fixes.

Therapeutic approaches and working online

Markyse commonly uses Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) in her work. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on building a respectful, nonjudgmental relationship where the person leads the conversation and choices. CBT looks at patterns of thought and behavior and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful habits and lower anxiety and depression.

Choosing the best approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and then tailor techniques to what the client needs. This is a collaborative process that can change over time as progress or new concerns appear.

The original biography lists messaging, phone, and video call as ways she meets with people, though readers should confirm current session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, and remove travel time. Many people find that remote sessions help them practice new skills in real-life settings and keep momentum between appointments.
