About Marlenny
Marlenny Luna is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor practicing in New York with 14 years of experience. She chose this path after personal experience with therapy, and she brings that same commitment to people who are looking for steady, practical support. She uses a compassionate, person-focused style.
Sessions start by getting to know a person’s story, worries, and strengths. Marlenny helps people set clear goals and take small steps toward them.
Background and approach
Her work covers many common concerns, including stress, anxiety, depression, grief, addiction-related struggles, and relationship or intimacy issues. She also addresses parenting strain, family-of-origin problems, career transitions, and life changes that feel overwhelming. Marlenny draws from several approaches to fit each person’s needs.
She leans on client-centered listening, cognitive behavioral ideas that target unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, mindfulness skills to reduce reactivity, motivational interviewing to build change momentum, and narrative techniques to reconsider life stories. Sessions are practical and conversational. Expect to talk through what feels stuck, try small experiments between meetings, and review what helps.
Marlenny aims to be straightforward and warm while tailoring the work to each person’s pace and goals.
Therapeutic approaches and online care
Marlenny often uses client-centered therapy, which centers on active listening and understanding a person’s experience. This approach helps people feel heard and supports exploring values, goals, and personal strengths.She also draws on cognitive behavioral therapy, which focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and changing behaviors that keep problems going. CBT can be useful for anxiety, depression, and stress by offering clear tools and practiceable strategies.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Marlenny works with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and comfort level, and she adjusts the plan as progress and feedback suggest changes are needed.
Online therapy offers practical benefits for arranging care. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual cues matter, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed, and live chat or text messaging can fit brief updates or flexible scheduling. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity of care while fitting therapy into a busy life.
