About Amaranta
Amaranta Penate-Marty is an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) in Texas with 11 years of clinical experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, parenting challenges, relationship difficulties, codependency concerns, and related issues. Amaranta provides services in both English and Spanish and accepts international clients.
She explains how thoughts shape feelings and actions, and she uses that understanding to help people make small changes that have practical effects. Sessions often focus on coping skills, managing intense emotions, and improving everyday interactions. The approach is direct and focused on what helps someone feel steadier and more in control of their choices.
Amaranta draws on cognitive behavioral approaches and mindfulness to interrupt unhelpful thinking and reduce anxiety. She also uses dialectical behavior therapy skills for emotion regulation, narrative therapy to reframe hard stories, and solution-focused work to set short-term goals. These methods are presented plainly and used to address specific problems like grief, caregiver stress, or difficulty saying no.
Her background includes training in trauma, mood and personality-related concerns, substance-related issues, and grief. Being bilingual and bicultural informs how she supports clients who navigate cultural and language differences in relationships. Sessions are practical, with skill building and homework when that fits the person’s goals.
To begin, clients follow the platform process to match and schedule an initial appointment. Amaranta encourages people who want change and who are ready to practice new ways of thinking and acting to reach out.
How sessions work
How therapeutic approaches translate to online sessions
Amaranta uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thought patterns. CBT often includes concrete exercises, short experiments, and written practice to reduce anxiety or depressive thinking. Dialectical behavior therapy provides skills for managing strong emotions and improving distress tolerance, with practical tools for regulating feelings and handling conflict. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and increase present-moment awareness.Choosing the right approach is a shared process. Amaranta will discuss goals, try techniques, and adjust methods based on what helps most. Clients and therapist work together to pick skills and strategies that fit the person's daily life and priorities.
Session formats are not specified here, so confirm the available online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. It also lets people continue therapy across locations when they are traveling or living abroad. Licensed professionals, including Amaranta, use these methods to provide practical skill-building and problem-focused work in remote sessions.
