About Amaranta
Amaranta Penate-Marty is an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) based in Texas with 11 years of clinical experience. She speaks English and Spanish and works with adults on concerns such as anxiety, depression, grief, stress, relationship struggles, parenting, and family-related patterns.
She emphasizes understanding how thoughts shape emotions and behavior. Sessions often include talking through current problems and learning practical skills to respond differently. She uses approaches like cognitive behavioral work, mindfulness, and narrative techniques to help people notice unhelpful patterns and try new ways of coping.
Her background includes focused work with trauma, mood concerns, and grief. Being bicultural and bilingual gives her added perspective on how culture and language can affect relationships and communication. This informs how she frames issues brought by people from North American and Hispanic backgrounds.
In the room she listens for repeated roles and expectations that came from a person’s family of origin. Then she helps clients identify small changes that can reduce stress and improve relationships. Sessions mix short-term problem solving with skills practice when needed.
She also addresses practical topics like caregiving stress, body image, abandonment and attachment concerns, blended family challenges, and issues that affect career and self-esteem. People who want support for coping with life changes or processing grief will find these areas included in her work.
How her approaches translate to online work
CBT helps people identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. Online sessions can include short exercises and homework to practice new skills between meetings, which suits problems like anxiety, depression, and stress.Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and increase awareness. These techniques are easy to learn in a remote session and can be practiced during the week to support emotion regulation.
Narrative Therapy focuses on the stories people tell about themselves and their relationships. In sessions she helps clients separate themselves from limiting labels and explore alternative meanings for past events and family roles.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or has not helped in the past, then recommend which methods to try first. That process is collaborative and can shift as needs change.
