About Maryna

Maryna Ross is an LPC who centers her work on practical, skills-based approaches that help people manage stress, anxiety, and major life transitions. She blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy with acceptance-oriented strategies to support clients in addressing grief, relationship challenges, and mood concerns while building tools for day-to-day coping.

Background and approach

With a focus on respect, sensitivity, and compassion, she adapts conversations and plans to the distinct needs each person brings. Over seven years of practice in Colorado, Maryna has worked both online and in independent practice settings, supporting people facing issues such as compassion fatigue, addiction, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related concerns, and self-esteem struggles.

Her practice also addresses relationship patterns and family-of-origin problems along with specific topics like attachment, abandonment, communication, and sexual diversity within kink and alternative sex culture. She invites clients to take the first step and offers a collaborative, individualized approach to care.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Maryna commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy in her work. CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns to reduce symptoms like anxiety and depression and to improve coping in daily life. ACT emphasizes accepting difficult thoughts and emotions while clarifying personal values and taking committed actions, which can be helpful for grief, chronic stress, and life transitions.

She also draws from Attachment-Based ideas to explore how early relationship patterns affect current connections and emotional responses. Together with the client she approaches treatment as a collaborative process - exploring which methods fit best, adjusting techniques over time, and aligning the plan with the client's goals and preferences.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to provide flexible access to care. These formats can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, maintain continuity during life changes, and choose the communication style that feels most comfortable while working on skills and goals with a licensed professional.
