About Maryna

Maryna Ross is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Colorado with seven years of experience. She focuses on practical, down-to-earth support for people facing stress, anxiety, grief, and major life changes. Her approach is respectful and compassionate, and she adapts conversations to each person’s needs.

She encourages taking small steps and recognizes how hard it can feel to begin therapy. Maryna draws on several evidence-based methods to guide sessions.

Background and approach

She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice patterns and try new responses. Attachment-Based and Client-Centered methods shape how she builds safety and trust in the room. Sessions are aimed at clear, manageable goals.

Maryna works with issues such as relationship troubles, compassion fatigue, addiction concerns, and problems tied to family or attachment. She also addresses topics like body image, communication problems, abandonment, and codependency. Her style mixes practical tools with supportive conversation.

That could mean learning coping skills, practicing different ways to speak about needs, or testing small behavior changes between sessions. Sessions can be shaped to your pace and what feels doable at home. Maryna offers therapy through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging.

She asks new clients to complete a short matching questionnaire to begin and then schedules sessions according to availability.

Therapeutic approaches and online care that fit your life

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and values, then taking small steps toward what matters. It is useful for anxiety, stress, and major life transitions where people want to move forward despite difficult feelings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thought and behavior patterns and teaches practical skills to reduce distress and change unhelpful habits. It often helps with anxiety, depression, and day-to-day coping.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each client about their goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful. Together they may try one method or blend parts of several approaches until the best fit emerges.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule and to keep continuity when life gets complicated. For many people, the variety of formats also makes it possible to use different tools between sessions and stay engaged with progress.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

Less about arguing with difficult thoughts, more about loosening their grip and acting on what matters to you anyway. Values and committed action carry the work, which suits conversation at a distance.

Attachment-Based Therapy

Looks at how early bonds shaped what you expect from closeness, and how that plays out now with a partner, a parent, or your own children.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.
