About Maryna
Maryna Ross is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Colorado with seven years of clinical experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, grief, relationship strains, and life transitions. Her style is direct and compassionate, and she aims to make the first steps into therapy feel manageable for anyone who is nervous about starting.
Maryna matches care to each person instead of using a one-size-fits-all plan. She listens for what matters most and shapes conversations to meet those needs. Sessions focus on practical skills, clearer communication, and making daily life more tolerable when emotions feel overwhelming.
Her background includes online work and a private practice setting, so she is familiar with different ways people prefer to meet. She draws from several approaches to help people understand patterns, cope with loss, and reduce unhelpful anxiety. Maryna pays attention to relational issues like attachment, codependency, and difficulty with intimacy, as well as matters like caregiver stress and body image.
Therapy with Maryna often includes short-term strategies for immediate relief and longer work on patterns that keep problems returning. She aims to help clients build skills for emotion regulation, improve relationships with others, and reconnect with personal goals. Her tone stays respectful and present-focused while also addressing deeper family of origin concerns when appropriate.
People who reach out are asked to complete a brief matching questionnaire and schedule according to availability. Maryna encourages anyone taking this step to acknowledge the courage it takes and to move forward at a pace that feels right.
Therapeutic approaches and how they translate to online work
Maryna uses approaches that focus on values, relationships, and practical coping skills. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice uncomfortable thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that match their values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviors to find unhelpful patterns and replace them with more effective habits. Attachment-Based Therapy examines how early relationship patterns affect current connections and helps people form clearer expectations and safer emotional responses.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Maryna collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit best for their goals and lifestyle. She checks in regularly and adjusts the plan as progress and needs change, so treatment is a shared process rather than a fixed plan.
If you are considering online therapy, confirm the available session formats before booking. Many people find online sessions easier to fit into busy days and helpful for maintaining continuity when schedules change. Online work can make shorter check-ins possible, reduce travel time, and allow for flexible scheduling that fits between errands, work breaks, or family responsibilities. Licensed professionals can adapt ACT, CBT, and attachment-focused work to an online setting, using conversation, exercises, and worksheets to practice new skills at home.
