About Marlenny
Marlenny Luna is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in New York with 14 years of experience. She works with adults managing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship problems, parenting concerns, and issues tied to family of origin. She also supports people facing addiction, grief, anger, intimacy-related concerns, and life transitions.
Her approach centers on getting to know each person’s story and current struggles. Sessions focus on practical steps and clearer thinking. Marlenny uses straightforward talk, skill-building, and reflection rather than jargon or long theory lectures.
She draws from Client-Centered Therapy to create a respectful space for people to speak about difficult topics. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy tools are used when people want concrete ways to change thinking and behavior. Mindfulness techniques can help with stress and emotion regulation in day-to-day life.
Marlenny also integrates Motivational Interviewing for people working through ambivalence, such as with substance use or behavior change. Narrative Therapy is used to help people reframe stories they tell about themselves and their past. These methods are mixed to match what each person needs.
People who reach out can expect clear conversations about goals and small, achievable steps between sessions. She has particular experience addressing abandonment, codependency, communication problems, fertility and immigration-related concerns alongside broad family problems. International clients may be supported, and sessions are conducted in English.
Therapeutic approaches and how they work over video or phone
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and letting the person lead the conversation. It helps people speak about family history, relationships, and what matters most right now. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts affect feelings and actions and gives clear tools to test and change unhelpful patterns. That approach can be useful for anxiety, depression, and behavior change.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, try methods that fit, and adjust as needed. This is a collaborative process meant to match tools to the person’s needs and preferences rather than applying a single method to everyone.

Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and let people join from locations with quieter surroundings or less travel. Discuss which approach and session setup will work best during the first meeting so arrangements suit daily life and goals.
