About Amaranta
Amaranta Penate-Marty is a bilingual Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who frames therapy as a calling. She speaks English and Spanish and focuses on helping people change how they think so feelings and actions shift too. Her style is practical and down-to-earth, with an emphasis on acceptance and steady progress.
She has 11 years of clinical experience working with anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, and stress. She also supports people facing parenting strain, relationship conflict, identity concerns for LGBT clients, career stress, and compassion fatigue. Additional areas she addresses include abandonment, attachment and blended family issues, body image, caregiver stress, and coping with natural or human-caused disaster.
Her approach draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy to teach concrete skills for regulating emotions and changing unhelpful thinking. She also uses Mindfulness and Narrative Therapy to help people notice patterns and rewrite the stories they tell about themselves. Solution-Focused techniques are used when clients want brief goal-oriented work.
Amaranta adapts her methods to each person rather than applying one fixed model. She meets clients where they are and focuses on steps they can use between sessions. Her work emphasizes acceptance, practical tools, and gradual change.
She practices in Texas and welcomes conversations in English or Spanish. People interested in starting are asked to use the site Start Therapy flow to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule based on availability.
How her approaches translate to online therapy
Amaranta uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy alongside Narrative or Solution-Focused ideas to guide online work. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and practicing new behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety and depression. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to manage stress and emotional reactivity. Narrative and Solution-Focused techniques help people clarify goals, shift the stories they tell about their lives, and build small workable steps forward.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. She will talk with each person about goals, symptoms, and preferences, then adapt methods over time. Sessions can blend skills practice, reflection, and short goal reviews so the work fits the client's pace and needs.
The practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions into a busy schedule and making it easier to maintain continuity during life changes. Please confirm the current session options before booking since the profile does not list specific formats. Online work can allow for shorter check-ins, use of guided exercises between sessions, and easier access when travel or distance would otherwise interrupt care.
