About Marlenny
Marlenny Luna is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in New York with 14 years of clinical experience. She came to counseling after benefiting from therapy herself and now focuses on helping people find practical ways to feel steadier and more hopeful. Marlenny listens closely to each person's story and looks for realistic steps that fit their life.
Her work combines clear conversation with tools people can use between sessions. She often draws on client-centered methods to keep sessions focused on the person's priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques are used when thoughts and habits are driving distress. Mindfulness exercises may be introduced to help manage stress and anxiety in the moment.
Marlenny has supported people through grief, trauma, addiction, and struggles with self-esteem. She also helps people address relationship concerns, parenting stress, career changes, and the emotional fallout of fertility, immigration, or family-of-origin issues. Problems like codependency, communication breakdowns, and commitment worries are also within her areas of focus.
Sessions aim to be collaborative and practical. Marlenny works to identify small, concrete changes that build momentum over time. She will tailor strategies to a person’s goals and pace so progress feels manageable.
People who want straightforward guidance, clear tools, and a steady, empathetic presence may find her approach helpful. Her practice serves English-speaking clients and includes support for international clients who are able to schedule with a New York-based LMHC.
How Marlenny’s approaches work in online therapy
Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes the client's own goals and experiences. Sessions focus on listening, validation, and helping people decide what matters most to them. This approach is helpful when someone needs space to talk through decisions, identity questions, or relationship struggles. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and behaviors interact. Marlenny may use simple, practical exercises to test unhelpful thoughts and build new habits. CBT is often useful for anxiety, depression, and stress that comes from repetitive thinking patterns. Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Marlenny will work with each person to try methods that match their goals and preferences, and she will adjust plans over time based on what helps most. Session logistics should be confirmed before booking because formats are not specified here. Ask about the session options available and how they can fit into your routine. Online work can make it easier to schedule therapy around work, childcare, or travel, and it can allow for shorter check-ins or sessions that don’t require video when that better fits a person’s day. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises and homework so the work continues between meetings.Areas of focus
