About Mariana
Mariana Mackinnon helps people who are worn out, overwhelmed, or unsure what comes next. She meets those facing anxiety, stress, depression, relationship strain, grief, addiction concerns, and major life changes. Mariana speaks English and Spanish and practices in Florida as an LCSW.
She aims to make sessions clear and practical so people can take small steps forward. Her background includes living and working abroad, which shaped how she understands identity and cultural transitions.
Background and approach
That experience informs how she listens for the tensions people carry when they move between cultures, roles, or expectations. Mariana often frames these moments as opportunities to notice what matters and to decide what to keep. In sessions she uses a mix of approaches to match each person's needs.
Conversations combine practical skill-building with exploration of values and emotions. She helps people notice patterns, try small experiments, and practice new ways of responding to stress and relationships. Mariana has eight years of clinical experience.
She describes therapy as collaborative work - she and the client choose which tools feel most useful. Sessions can include talk, mindfulness techniques, and exercises aimed at improving coping and communication. Her style is warm and attentive.
People who come to her can expect straightforward guidance, gentle challenge, and support around identity, intimacy, career questions, caregiver strain, chronic illness, and other complex life issues.

Online support
Practical approaches for online healing and growth
Mariana commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in online sessions. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and practice small actions that align with those values. It is useful for stress, life changes, and ongoing worries. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with experiments and new behaviors to reduce anxiety and depression.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist discusses goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't helped before, then suggests methods to try. That collaborative process makes it easier to adjust techniques as therapy unfolds.
Online sessions are offered by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to match different routines. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions use less data and can be easier during a busy day. Live chat and text let people check in between longer sessions and can fit shorter check-ins or moments when writing feels easier. These options aim to make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into daily life.
