Amaranta Penate-Marty, LPC

Amaranta Penate-Marty is a bilingual psychotherapist who approaches clinical work as a calling. She speaks English and Spanish and aims to help people reshape thoughts that affect emotions and behavior. Amaranta brings 11 years of experience as a Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, working with common struggles like anxiety, depression, grief, and stress.

She has a long history addressing trauma and mood concerns, and she applies that experience to related areas such as substance-related difficulties and compassion fatigue. Her bicultural background informs her work with North American and Hispanic clients and helps when language or culture affect relationships.

Amaranta adapts evidence-informed methods to each person's needs. She blends approaches that focus on present patterns, practical skills, and personal stories to help people find new ways forward. Therapy sessions emphasize clear tools people can try between meetings.

She supports people dealing with life transitions, caregiver stress, aging and geriatric issues, and challenges tied to attachment, abandonment, and blended families. She also addresses relationship and communication problems, parenting concerns, and issues around self-esteem and body image.

Clients can expect a warm, nonjudgmental stance and collaborative work on concrete goals. Amaranta encourages people who want change to take small steps and practice new skills. She invites prospective clients to begin by using the Start Therapy flow to match and schedule.

How chosen approaches guide online work

CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It helps people identify unhelpful thinking patterns and practice concrete skills to reduce anxiety and depression.

DBT, or Dialectical Behavior Therapy, teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication. It is useful when strong emotions or relationship conflicts make daily life harder.

Mindfulness Therapy brings attention to present-moment experience and simple awareness practices. It can reduce rumination and improve stress management in busy lives.

Choosing the right approach is a team effort. Amaranta will collaborate with each person to match methods to their goals, needs, and preferences rather than prescribing one single model. This makes therapy more practical and easier to apply between sessions.

Confirm current session options before booking since formats were not specified in the biography. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a routine, shorten check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Some formats work better for brief skills practice while others suit deeper conversation, so discussing goals will help determine what will fit daily life best.
