About Mariana

Mariana Mackinnon is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who helps people manage stress, anxiety, relationship trouble, depression, and major life changes. She speaks English and Spanish. Her style is direct and steady, aimed at making day-to-day life feel more manageable.

She draws on eight years of clinical experience and uses several practical approaches. Those include Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), cognitive behavioral techniques, acceptance and commitment strategies, and client-centered listening.

Background and approach

Sessions focus on what matters most to each person and on skills that can be used between meetings. Mariana grew up in a bilingual Latino household and spent time living and working in Madrid, Spain. That background informs how she notices culture, language, and identity in therapy.

She encourages clients to bring their whole selves into the work and to name cultural pressures that affect well-being. In sessions she helps people process trauma, cope with burnout and compassion fatigue, and navigate relationship ruptures and identity questions. She also addresses grief, addiction concerns, intimacy-related issues, anger, low self-esteem, career stress, and ADHD challenges.

The emphasis is on clear steps and steady progress rather than jargon. Mariana offers a collaborative, respectful space where goals are practical and prioritized. She meets clients where they are and works with them to build coping tools, improve communication, and reduce overwhelming feelings.

If someone wants a therapist who blends trauma-focused methods with everyday skills, she may be a good match.

Approaches Mariana names

Naming an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each therapist lists and does not check training records.

Online support

Evidence-based approaches adapted for online care

EMDR is a trauma-focused approach that helps process distressing memories and reduce their emotional intensity through guided bilateral stimulation and focused recall. It is often used for trauma, abuse recovery, and intense distress that keeps coming up in daily life.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings, and behavior. Sessions include practical exercises and homework that help people change unhelpful thinking patterns and try new ways of coping. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, ACT, complements this by encouraging values-based action and mindfulness to tolerate difficult emotions while building a meaningful life.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and how symptoms show up day to day, then recommend methods to start with. Adjustments are made over time so the work fits what the client needs and wants.

Online therapy with Mariana uses video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text messaging to make care more flexible. Video is useful for deeper conversational work and guided EMDR-style processing. Phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging are helpful for quick support, skill coaching, or between-session check-ins. These options let people fit therapy into busy schedules and access licensed professionals from wherever they are in Florida.
