About Amaranta
Amaranta Penate-Marty is a bilingual licensed professional counselor (LPC) who views therapy as a calling. She speaks English and Spanish and helps people who are stressed, anxious, grieving, or navigating big life changes. Her plain, direct approach focuses on how thoughts shape emotions and behavior so clients can make practical changes in daily life.
She has 11 years of experience working with a range of concerns, including trauma and abuse, depression, relationship and parenting challenges, compassion fatigue, and identity-related stresses. Amaranta adapts her work to each person’s background and goals rather than using a one-size-fits-all method. Therapy sessions include listening, gentle challenge, and skills people can practice between meetings.
Her training includes methods that help with thinking patterns, emotional regulation, and problem solving. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts, Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills for emotion regulation, and Mindfulness techniques to reduce reactivity. Narrative and Solution-Focused approaches are also part of her toolbox for reshaping personal stories and setting practical goals.
As a bicultural clinician she pays attention to how culture and language affect relationships and communication. She aims to create a space of acceptance so people feel comfortable exploring difficult topics like grief, trauma, or family conflict. Amaranta encourages clients who want change and is ready to help them take the next step.

How Amaranta’s Approaches Translate to Online Care
Amaranta integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy to help people manage stress and anxiety. CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts that lead to distress, while Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and increase calm.She also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills to teach emotional regulation and distress tolerance for intense feelings. These approaches are taught in concrete steps and practiced during sessions so clients can try them in daily life between meetings.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Amaranta collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She adjusts techniques over time based on what helps the client make steady progress.
