About Marlenny
Marlenny Luna is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in New York. She brings 14 years of experience to conversations about stress, loss, addiction, relationships, and everyday overwhelm. She says her own time in therapy shaped her decision to help others find hope and strength.
Her approach centers on getting to know each person as an individual. She listens for what matters most, and uses clear, practical ways to address problems.
How Marlenny works
Sessions focus on building skills for coping, communication, and managing strong emotions. Marlenny draws from methods such as client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness, motivational interviewing, and narrative therapy. She adapts these tools to match what a person needs on any given day.
That might mean shifting between short-term skill work and deeper exploration of life patterns. She helps people facing anxiety, depression, grief, trauma and abuse, addiction, relationship and intimacy challenges, parenting and family concerns, career stress, and major life changes. Additional areas of focus include abandonment, codependency, communication problems, fertility worries, HIV/AIDS, immigration issues, and end-of-life counseling.
Sessions are offered in English and Marlenny accepts international clients. She works with video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different schedules and preferences. New clients start by selecting the Start Therapy button, completing a short matching questionnaire, and scheduling a session.

Online support options
Therapeutic Approaches for Online Care
Client-centered therapy puts the person’s experience at the center of sessions. The therapist listens closely and follows the client’s pace to build trust and clarity. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns. Mindfulness therapy brings attention to the present moment and helps reduce reactivity and stress through simple awareness practices.Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. Marlenny will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has helped or not helped in the past. Together they adjust methods over time, mixing practical skill work with deeper storytelling or reflection as needed.
Online therapy offers flexibility that fits busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face connection when that feels important. Phone sessions work well for shorter check-ins or when data and bandwidth are limited. Live chat and text-based messaging make it possible to check in between sessions and to get support without needing to be on camera. These options make it easier to keep continuity of care and to book sessions around work, childcare, or other commitments.
