Amaranta Penate-Marty, LPC

Amaranta Penate-Marty is a bilingual, bicultural Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas with 11 years of clinical experience. She approaches therapy as a calling and works with people who want to invest time in understanding how thoughts shape emotions and behaviors, guiding them toward healthier, happier lives.

She has extensive training in trauma, depression, anxiety, mood and personality diagnoses, grief, and substance abuse, and uses that background to support clients across a range of concerns. Her ability to work with both North American and Hispanic cultures has deepened her understanding of how language and cultural differences can complicate relationships within couples and families.

Amaranta adapts her clinical training to the individual needs of each person she sees, believing that counseling is for those who believe in change. Clients can expect unconditional acceptance as a central part of her therapeutic approach, reflecting a core personal philosophy. She welcomes the opportunity to begin working with new clients and help them take practical steps toward their goals.

Therapeutic Approaches for Online Care

Amaranta draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy alongside Mindfulness Therapy to support clients in online sessions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people identify unhelpful thought patterns and develop practical skills to change behaviors and improve mood. Dialectical Behavior Therapy focuses on building emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, which can be especially useful for intense emotions and relationship challenges. Mindfulness Therapy teaches present-moment awareness and acceptance techniques that help reduce reactivity and increase calm in daily life.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Amaranta works with each client to consider their needs, goals, and preferences and adjusts strategies as therapy progresses to find the best fit.

Online therapy with Amaranta is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility and access regardless of schedule or location. These options make it easier to maintain consistent care, fit sessions into busy lives, and connect with a licensed professional from where the client is most comfortable.
