Maryna Ross , LPC

Maryna Ross is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) based in Colorado. She uses practical, person-focused methods to help people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and major life changes. She aims to create a calm, respectful space where clients can talk through what matters most to them.

With seven years of clinical experience, she has worked both online and in private practice. Maryna tailors sessions to the individual, matching techniques to a person’s goals and daily reality. She often combines behavior-focused exercises with attention to feelings and relationships.

Her work covers a wide range of concerns including grief, trauma and abuse, compassion fatigue, and addiction. She also supports people dealing with relationship and intimacy-related issues, family problems, communication struggles, and self-esteem challenges. Maryna pays attention to attachment and abandonment issues and to how those patterns affect current relationships.

Clients can expect clear, straightforward tools alongside space to reflect on emotions. She draws on cognitive behavioral skills to change unhelpful thinking and on acceptance-based ideas to build meaningful action. Dialectical and emotionally focused approaches are used when strong emotions or intense relationship dynamics are central.

Maryna also addresses career strain, caregiver stress, body image concerns, and areas such as kink and alternative sex culture when these affect daily life. She works collaboratively with each person to set realistic steps and measure progress over time.

Approaches that translate well to online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice difficult thoughts and feelings while choosing actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, grief, and making life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical skills to shift unhelpful patterns; it is often used for anxiety, mood concerns, and stress. Attachment-Based Therapy attends to how early connections shape current relationship patterns and can help with intimacy, abandonment, and communication problems.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Maryna will work together with each person to pick techniques that fit their goals and day-to-day life. That collaborative selection means methods may change over time based on what helps most.

Online options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which allow flexibility in how and when to connect. Video is useful for deeper conversational work, phone can be a simpler check-in when bandwidth is limited, and messaging or live chat can support short updates or skills practice between sessions. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to continue work consistently across life changes.
