About Amaranta
Amaranta Penate-Marty is a bilingual licensed professional counselor who brings 11 years of practice to her work. She speaks English and Spanish and aims to help people understand how their thoughts shape feelings and behavior. She describes counseling as a chance to make change, not a label for being unwell, and offers an accepting, nonjudgmental space for exploration.
She uses practical, evidence-informed ways to address stress, anxiety, depression, and trauma. She also supports people facing grief, compassion fatigue, and major life changes. Her background includes work with issues related to adoption and foster care, attachment and abandonment, and relationship struggles where culture or language play a role.
Amaranta adapts her approach to each person's needs. She draws on methods that teach skills for emotion regulation and problem solving, and she helps people tell and reframe the stories that shape their choices. Sessions emphasize clear tools and small experiments that can be tried between meetings.
Clients can expect a straightforward, warm style. She focuses on helping people notice unhelpful thinking patterns, change behaviors that get in the way, and build habits that support wellbeing. The work is collaborative and paced to the client's goals.
Her practice is based in Texas and she holds the LPC credential, which stands for Licensed Professional Counselor. She welcomes conversations in English or Spanish and is open to working with people from other countries through the platform.
Online work that blends skills and stories
Amaranta uses approaches that focus on changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and on building skills for emotional regulation. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, teaches people to notice thinking patterns and try new behaviors. It helps with anxiety, depression, and day-to-day coping by breaking concerns into small, manageable steps.She also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, which emphasizes skills for managing strong emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness. DBT offers concrete tools for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication when relationships feel strained.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Amaranta treats therapy as a collaborative process and will help clients choose which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences. She adjusts strategies as progress is made and as life circumstances change.
