Markyse Bernadin, LCSW

Markyse Bernadin is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) based in Florida. She brings five years of clinical experience and a warm, direct approach to therapy. Markyse aims to make reaching out less awkward by offering a straightforward, supportive way to begin work together.

Her style is empathetic and goal oriented. She respects that each person knows their life best and works to create a respectful space for honest conversation. Markyse often blends practical strategies with moments that invite deeper reflection and insight.

She draws on a mix of methods to match what each person needs. That can look like challenging unhelpful thoughts, building new coping skills, or using mindfulness and creative tools such as music to help process emotions. Her work addresses concerns like anxiety, depression, stress, addiction, relationship and intimacy issues, grief, and jealousy.

Markyse trained at Barry University, earning both a bachelor’s and a master’s degree, and she is currently pursuing a PhD in social work. Her background in social work shapes a client-centered focus that honors strengths and real-life challenges.

Outside of clinical work she gardens, travels, listens to music, and is learning the ukulele. She sometimes integrates music-based interventions when they fit a person’s goals and interests.

Therapeutic approaches that translate well to online care

Client-Centered Therapy centers the person’s own goals and lived experience. In sessions the therapist listens without judgment and helps people clarify what matters to them and what they want to change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying patterns of thought and behavior that keep a problem going and then testing small changes to see what helps. This approach is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress-related issues.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide whether a more skills-based route like CBT or a reflective, person-centered path fits best. Preferences, goals, and everyday life demands all shape that decision so the plan can be practical and relevant.

Confirm session options before booking so you know which formats are offered currently. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people try different ways of working and adjust pacing as life changes while staying focused on goals and coping skills.
