She approaches therapy with the belief that clients are the experts on their own lives, and she works to foster a space grounded in empathy and unconditional positive regard.

Therapeutic Approaches That Translate Well to Online Sessions

Markyse Bernadin draws from approaches that can work effectively in an online setting. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy, respect, and a supportive relationship, helping clients feel heard as they clarify what matters most and what they want to change.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on noticing unhelpful thought patterns and practicing practical strategies to respond differently, which can be especially useful for stress, anxiety, and day-to-day challenges. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) adds skills for managing intense emotions, improving communication, and tolerating distress in the moment, supporting steadier coping over time.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Markyse works collaboratively with clients to understand their goals, preferences, and current stressors, then adjusts the pace and tools to fit what is most helpful for them.

Online therapy also offers flexible ways to connect with licensed professionals. Clients can choose video calls or phone sessions for real-time conversation, or use live chat and text-based messaging when they prefer to reflect and respond at their own pace. This range of options can make it easier to stay consistent, even with a busy schedule.
