Therapeutic Approaches and Online Options
Marlenny Luna draws from established therapeutic approaches to tailor work to each person's needs. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a warm, nonjudgmental stance in which the therapist listens reflectively and supports clients as they explore their own goals and values - this approach can be helpful for people seeking understanding, self-acceptance, and stronger self-direction. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and testing new behaviors; it is often useful for addressing anxiety, depression, and stress by teaching practical coping skills. Mindfulness Therapy offers tools to increase present-moment awareness and reduce reactivity, which can assist clients managing worry, strong emotions, or ongoing stress.Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey, and Marlenny works collaboratively with people to determine what fits best based on their needs, goals, and preferences. She adapts techniques over time so therapy remains responsive and practical for each individual.
Online therapy formats - including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging - provide flexibility for busy schedules and for those who live in different places. These options allow licensed professionals and therapists to deliver consistent care across distances, making it easier for clients to maintain momentum and access support in ways that suit their daily lives.
