About Marlenny

Marlenny Luna is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in New York with 14 years of clinical experience. She entered the field motivated by her own positive experience with therapy and now brings that same sense of possibility to her clients, offering steady guidance through life’s upheavals.

Background and approach

She emphasizes a compassionate, whole-person perspective and works to understand each client’s history, strengths, and current challenges. Her practice supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, addictions, trauma and abuse, and a wide range of relationship and intimacy-related concerns.

Marlenny also addresses issues such as parenting, family dynamics, career strain, self-esteem, and coping with significant life changes. She integrates evidence-informed methods including cognitive behavioral techniques alongside client-centered and mindfulness-based approaches to tailor care to individual needs.

Clients can expect an empathetic, collaborative therapist who values listening and respect while helping to build practical skills and insight. Marlenny’s goal is to help people move toward greater resilience and clearer direction, working together to find strategies that fit each person’s life and goals.

Practical Approaches for Online Healing



Marlenny uses cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to help people identify and shift unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors; this approach often focuses on concrete skills for managing anxiety, depression, and stress. She also draws on client-centered therapy, which prioritizes empathic listening and respect so clients can explore their values and personal goals at their own pace.

Choosing the right therapeutic approach is treated as a collaborative process. She works with each person to assess needs, preferences, and goals, and then adjusts techniques over time so the approach aligns with what’s working and what isn’t. The emphasis is on partnership and practical steps rather than one fixed method.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to fit care into busy schedules or different time zones. These formats support continuity of care and allow therapists and clients to focus on skills, conversation, and problem solving in ways that match each person’s comfort and lifestyle.
