About Maryna
Maryna Ross is a licensed professional counselor in Colorado with seven years of experience. She focuses on practical support for stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship and intimacy-related concerns. Maryna meets people where they are and aims to make the first steps feel less overwhelming.
She uses straightforward conversation to identify what is most pressing. Sessions often look at coping skills for grief, life changes, and compassion fatigue. Work can also address addictive behaviors, anger, low self-esteem, and career worries.
Background and approach
Maryna draws on approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Attachment-Based Therapy. That means she combines skills training, attention to patterns in relationships, and values-based goal setting. The aim is to build practical tools clients can use between sessions.
She also supports people dealing with family of origin issues, codependency, commitment and communication problems, and caregiver stress. There is attention to less commonly discussed areas too, like body image, BDSM and kink-related concerns, and avoidant personality patterns. Conversations are tailored to each person's situation.
Maryna adapts pacing, skill work, and the focus of sessions based on what a person needs that week. She encourages small, achievable steps and checks in about what is or isn't working.
How therapy approaches translate to online care
Maryna uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify what matters to them and build small actions that match those values. That approach is useful for stress, anxiety, and feeling stuck after big life changes.She also draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to look at patterns in close relationships and how those patterns affect current struggles. This work can help with intimacy-related issues, communication problems, and family of origin concerns.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Maryna will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, then try methods that fit. She checks in regularly and adjusts the plan based on what helps most.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and chat or text can work for brief check-ins or when someone prefers written communication. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, caregiving, or travel.
