Amaranta Penate-Marty

Amaranta Penate-Marty is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) who offers bilingual therapy in English and Spanish. She emphasizes practical, approachable work that helps people change the way they think and feel. Her style is warm and direct, aimed at people who want clearer coping skills and better emotional balance.

She uses methods that focus on thoughts, emotions, and behavior to tackle problems like anxiety, depression, and anger. She also works with trauma, grief, and stress related to life transitions. Many clients come for help with relationship struggles, parenting stress, career concerns, and identity questions including LGBT issues.

Amaranta brings 11 years of clinical experience and a bicultural perspective that informs her work with North American and Hispanic cultural concerns. That background shapes how she understands communication issues and cultural stressors that show up in relationships and parenting. She frames therapy as a collaborative process where the client’s values guide the work.

In sessions she adapts her approach to fit each person, mixing practical strategies and reflective conversation. Expect clear goals, skill building, and attention to how thoughts affect feelings and actions. She describes counseling as a choice people make when they want change, and she aims to offer acceptance and steady support throughout the process.

Amaranta welcomes international clients and offers guidance for those navigating cultural or language barriers. Prospective clients can indicate their language preference when they begin the intake process.

Approaches that translate well to online care

CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and practicing small behavior changes to reduce anxiety, depression, and anger. It uses clear steps and exercises that you and the therapist work on together.

DBT, or Dialectical Behavior Therapy, teaches skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication. It is useful for intense emotions and learning steady ways to cope when stress feels overwhelming.

Mindfulness Therapy encourages simple present-moment awareness and breath-based practices to reduce reactivity and calm the nervous system. These practices can support stress, grief, and anger by teaching pauses before reactions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Amaranta will collaborate with each person to choose or combine methods that fit their goals, preferences, and day-to-day life. Clients shape the focus, and she adapts methods as progress is made.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, reduce travel time, and allow follow-ups between appointments. Because session formats are not specified here, confirm current options before booking to learn how sessions are scheduled. Many people find that virtual sessions support consistent practice and quicker application of skills in everyday moments.
