About Mariana Mackinnon
Her time living and working in Madrid, Spain further shaped her appreciation for the experience of being "in between" - between the life someone came from and the life they are building. Mariana views these threshold moments as meaningful turning points, and she supports clients in moving through them with greater clarity, steadiness, and self-trust.
With over eight years of clinical experience and specialized training in EMDR (a structured therapy often used to help people work through the impact of distressing experiences), Mariana works with individuals and couples facing trauma, burnout, major life transitions, relationship ruptures, and identity-related concerns. She brings curiosity and respect to each session, creating space for the whole person to be present in the work.

Therapeutic Tools That Translate Well to Online Sessions
Mariana Mackinnon draws from several evidence-informed approaches that can be effective in an online setting. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying patterns in thoughts and behaviors and practicing new skills that support steadier mood, clearer decision-making, and healthier coping, which can be especially helpful for stress, anxiety, and life transitions.She is also EMDR-trained. EMDR is a structured approach that helps clients work through the lingering impact of distressing experiences by linking present-day triggers to past events and building new ways of responding, often used when trauma, grief, or painful relationship experiences continue to feel close.
Client-Centered Therapy is another foundation of her work, emphasizing a supportive, nonjudgmental space where clients can explore identity, relationships, and values at their own pace.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Mariana collaborates with clients to decide what fits best based on goals, preferences, and what feels most useful session to session, adjusting as needs change over time.
Online therapy adds practical flexibility. Clients can meet by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to stay consistent with support during busy weeks, travel within Florida, or shifting schedules.
