About Marlenny
Marlenny Luna is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in New York with 14 years of clinical experience. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and family concerns, parenting strain, grief, trauma and substance-related challenges. Her work is practical and focused on what is happening now.
Marlenny draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) alongside client-centered and mindfulness approaches. She uses these methods to spot unhelpful thoughts and habits, and to practice different ways of responding. Sessions are grounded and action oriented rather than abstract.
She also integrates motivational interviewing and narrative techniques when helpful. That can look like clarifying goals, exploring personal stories that shape current reactions, and finding small steps to change. Marlenny pays attention to both emotions and everyday routines.
The therapist has experience with a wide range of issues including self-esteem, intimacy-related concerns, anger, career stress, coping with life changes, and addiction. Additional focus areas include abandonment, codependency, domestic violence, fertility and immigration issues, and end-of-life or hospice concerns.
Marlenny works in English and accepts international clients. She asks clients to pick a plan-based subscription that can be canceled at any time. Before booking, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session to see how the approach fits their needs.
How Marlenny uses CBT and related methods online
Marlenny commonly blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) with client-centered and mindfulness techniques. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing different responses. It helps with anxiety, depression, and stress by teaching practical skills to change thinking and behavior. Client-centered work prioritizes the person’s perspective and pacing, helping clients clarify goals and feel heard. Mindfulness practice in sessions teaches simple attention and breathing skills to reduce reactivity and improve focus.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Marlenny will work with each person to decide which methods match their goals, needs, and preferences. That might mean starting with CBT skill-building, then adding motivational interviewing to support change, or using narrative work to reframe a life story.
The original biography did not list specific session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - for example, shorter check-ins during a work break, avoiding travel time, or choosing audio-only when bandwidth is limited. Licensed professionals use these options so sessions can be scheduled around daily routines rather than requiring an in-person visit.
