About

Mariana Mackinnon is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW), a licensed mental health professional, and an EMDR-trained therapist who works with individuals and couples. Raised in a bilingual Latino household, she understands what it can be like to move between two languages, two cultures, and the different expectations that can come with each. That lived experience shapes the way she approaches therapy - with attention to identity, belonging, and the complex feelings that can arise when life does not fit neatly into one category.

Her time living and working in Madrid, Spain further strengthened her perspective on the "in-between" spaces many people navigate: between cultures, between the life they came from and the life they are building, and between old patterns and new possibilities. Mariana views these transitions not as empty gaps, but as meaningful turning points where clarity and change can take root.

With more than eight years of clinical experience and specialized EMDR training, she supports clients working through trauma, burnout, major life changes, relationship ruptures, and identity-related concerns. She brings cultural curiosity and a collaborative spirit to each session, making room for the full context of who a client is while helping them move forward with greater courage and less weight to carry.

Online Therapy Grounded in Skills and Healing

Mariana Mackinnon integrates evidence-informed approaches that can be well suited to online work, especially for clients navigating stress, trauma, relationship strain, or major life transitions.

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a structured approach that helps clients process distressing memories and reduce the intensity of how those experiences show up in the present. It can be a good fit for people who feel stuck in old reactions or who notice that past events keep getting triggered.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the connection between thoughts, feelings, and actions. Together, therapist and client identify patterns that contribute to anxiety, low mood, or self-criticism and practice new, more workable ways of responding.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) supports clients in building a life guided by values, even when difficult emotions are present. It often includes learning skills for making room for feelings while choosing actions that align with what matters most.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Mariana collaborates with clients to tailor sessions to their goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful over time.

Online therapy can make support easier to access through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for busy schedules, changing needs, and different communication styles.
