About

Mariana Mackinnon is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and EMDR-trained therapist who brings eight years of clinical experience to her practice. Raised in a bilingual Latino household and having lived and worked in Madrid, she draws on a lived understanding of moving between cultures and expectations. That background informs a practice attuned to identity questions, cultural context, and the complexity of life transitions.

She works with individuals and couples on concerns such as trauma, burnout, relationship ruptures, grief, addiction, and shifts in identity. Her areas of focus also include anxiety, depression, compassion fatigue, intimacy-related issues, and a wide range of additional concerns like caregiver stress, body image, and attachment-related patterns.

Mariana approaches each session with cultural curiosity and a client-centered stance, using evidence-informed tools such as EMDR, ACT, CBT, DBT, and mindfulness to tailor work to each person. She practices in Florida and offers services in both English and Spanish, holding a Florida LCSW license under FL LCSW SW22207.

Telehealth options and therapeutic approach



Mariana offers remote sessions that integrate several therapeutic approaches to meet varying needs. She is EMDR-trained and uses its protocols to address traumatic memories and the distress they hold. Alongside EMDR she draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help clients clarify values and commit to meaningful behavior, and on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify and shift unhelpful thinking patterns. Mindfulness and Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills are woven in when emotion regulation and present-moment awareness are priorities.

She aims to collaborate with clients to select methods that fit their goals, pacing, and comfort level. Sessions are available via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, allowing clients to choose the format that best suits their circumstances. Mariana conducts work in English and Spanish and practices from Florida, bringing attention to cultural context when conceptualizing and planning treatment.
