About Marlenny
Marlenny Luna is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHC, practicing in New York with 14 years of experience. She focused her career on helping people who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or at odds with their relationships. Her areas include stress, anxiety, depression, grief, anger, addiction, and parenting concerns.
She draws on practical therapies to help people talk through current problems. Sessions often look at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. She also uses techniques that encourage clearer personal stories and motivation for change.
Marlenny pays attention to how a person’s past and present connect. That can mean looking at early family patterns and how they affect current relationships. It can also mean spotting habits that keep someone repeating the same outcomes.
Her work includes straightforward skill building. People learn ways to manage strong feelings, reduce reactivity, and communicate more clearly. She uses mindfulness exercises to increase awareness and CBT tools to shift unhelpful thinking.
Marlenny also works with life transitions, fertility and immigration stress, end-of-life concerns, and issues tied to loss or trauma. She addresses substance use and co-occurring problems with a practical, goal-oriented approach.
People who meet with her should expect direct conversation, collaborative goal setting, and concrete steps between sessions. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial meeting to agree on next steps.
Therapeutic approaches and online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding a person’s experience. It helps people feel heard and develop their own solutions through reflective conversation. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches concrete skills to change unhelpful thinking and reduce reactivity.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Marlenny will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. Together they set clear objectives and try techniques to see what helps most.
Confirm the available session formats before booking, since the biography does not list specific options. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day and reduce travel time. They also allow for shorter check-ins when a quick focused conversation is needed, or for audio-only meetings when bandwidth is limited. Licensed professionals can adapt CBT and mindfulness exercises for remote sessions so practical skill work can continue even when meeting virtually.
