My first session with Marlenny Luna made me so glad that I signed up for BetterHelp. While I have friends and family as a support system, this is the first time I tried counseling, and Marlenny Luna listens and helps me in new way that I have never experienced before. After talking to her, I am able to think about things in a new perspective, and my head feels much clearer. She also responds to my messages very frequently, checking in with me with detailed and thoughtful responses. I really appreciate her as my counselor and would highly recommend her.

Hello and welcome to BetterHelp. I am a Licensed Mental Heath Counselor in New York. I became a mental health therapist because I know firsthand the life-changing impact that genuine support and guidance can have during difficult times. My own journey through therapy inspired me to dedicate my career to helping others find hope, healing, and strength — just as my therapist once did for me.
With over 14 years of experience in the field, I take a compassionate, holistic approach to therapy. I believe that every person is unique, and I’m committed to truly getting to know you — your story, your struggles, and your strengths — so that together, we can create a path forward that meets your specific needs.
It’s been my privilege to support individuals through a wide range of life’s challenges. Whether you’re facing anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, or navigating major life transitions, I’m here to walk alongside you with empathy, respect, and unwavering support.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
