Marlenny Luna

Marlenny Luna is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in New York. She has 14 years of clinical experience and chose this work after her own life-changing experience with therapy. That personal path guides how she listens and responds to people in difficult moments.

She approaches each person as an individual. Marlenny focuses on understanding a client's history, current struggles, and strengths. She uses that information to help people set realistic goals and take practical steps forward.

Marlenny has supported people with anxiety, depression, stress, grief, relationship and intimacy concerns, parenting and family challenges, and anger. She also addresses issues such as trauma and abuse, addiction, codependency, immigration concerns, and end-of-life matters. Her work often includes helping people cope with life changes and decisions about career and commitment.

Her style blends client-centered listening with focused techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness. She also draws on motivational interviewing and narrative therapy to help people clarify values and rewrite unhelpful stories they tell themselves. Sessions tend to be collaborative and goal-oriented while remaining compassionate.

People who come to Marlenny often want practical tools and a clearer direction. She encourages small, achievable steps and checks progress together. Her aim is to help clients build steadier coping skills and greater confidence in moving forward.

Approaches that guide online work

Marlenny uses client-centered therapy to place the person's experience at the center of sessions. That means listening carefully, validating feelings, and shaping goals from the client's priorities. It helps when people need acceptance and a clear sense of direction.

She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy, which focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors. CBT can be useful for anxiety, depression, anger, and stress because it offers concrete tools to change patterns that cause distress.

Finding the right approach usually happens together. Marlenny will talk with each person about their goals, try methods that fit those goals, and adjust as needed. That collaborative process helps decide whether techniques should be more skills-based, reflective, or a mix of both.

Confirm which session formats are currently offered before booking, since the biography does not list specific options. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into busy days, shorten travel time, and allow brief check-ins when schedules are tight. It can also let people use techniques like mindfulness practice or CBT worksheets during sessions to apply skills to daily life.
