About Maryna
Maryna Ross uses practical, person-focused therapy to help people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship struggles. She is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Colorado with seven years of experience working online and in independent practice. Maryna aims to meet people where they are and adjust sessions to real-life needs.
Her style mixes evidence-based tools with a warm, straightforward approach. She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify values and take meaningful steps.
How Maryna works
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to identify unhelpful thoughts and build different behavior patterns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy offers concrete skills for emotion regulation and distress tolerance. Maryna also uses Attachment-Based and Client-Centered approaches.
That means she pays attention to how early relationships shape current reactions and keeps the conversation focused on the person in front of her. Sessions are collaborative - she listens, reflects, and helps set small, doable goals. She works with a wide range of concerns including grief, coping with life changes, compassion fatigue, addictions, intimacy-related issues, anger, self-esteem, and career worries.
Additional focuses include abandonment, attachment issues, body image, codependency, communication problems, and family of origin issues. Sessions can be scheduled as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Maryna tailors pacing and methods to each person, and she helps clients figure out which tools feel most useful for their situation.

Online support options
Using evidence-based approaches in online therapy
Maryna draws from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to shape online sessions. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings while focusing on actions that match personal values. This approach can support work on life changes, grief, and long-term patterns of avoidance. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, which is useful for anxiety, depression, and stress management.The choice of approach is collaborative. Maryna will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, then try methods that fit those needs. If something doesn’t feel helpful, she adjusts the plan and introduces different tools until a good fit is found.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which allow flexibility for different routines. Video sessions work well for in-depth conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth or camera use is limited. Live chat and messaging suit quick check-ins, brief coaching, or people who prefer writing. These options make it simpler to schedule sessions around work, caregiving, or travel.
