Maryna Ross

Maryna Ross is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Colorado with seven years of clinical experience. She focuses on creating a respectful, compassionate space where people can talk about what is hard and find ways to manage it. She encourages practical steps and honest conversation to help clients move forward.

Maryna draws on mindfulness practices to help people notice thoughts and feelings without getting swept up by them. She also uses acceptance and commitment ideas and attachment-based perspectives to address patterns that show up in relationships and self-worth. Cognitive behavioral tools are available for tackling negative thinking and building new coping habits.

Her work often centers on stress, anxiety, grief, depression, and life transitions. She also supports people dealing with relationship concerns, intimacy-related issues, addiction, compassion fatigue, and challenges tied to family of origin or caregiver stress. Presenting topics such as body image, codependency, and commitment worries are also within her focus.

Maryna aims to tailor sessions to each person’s needs rather than applying a one-size-fits-all plan. Conversations lead to concrete strategies, small behavioral changes, and experiments to try between appointments. She meets people where they are and adjusts pace and tools as progress unfolds.

To begin, she asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a session. That first step helps shape initial goals and brings clarity to what a useful plan might look like.

How mindfulness and ACT translate to online sessions

Mindfulness Therapy helps people notice thoughts, feelings, and bodily sensations without reacting instantly. It can reduce reactivity to stress and make it easier to choose helpful responses. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying values and taking small committed actions even when emotions are difficult, which can help with anxiety, grief, and life transitions.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to your goals and try different tools together until something fits. Sessions are adjusted based on what works for you, and progress is reviewed regularly so plans can change as needed.

This profile notes online work in the therapist's background, but session formats are not specified here. Please confirm current session options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, or let you choose sessions that don't require travel. Many people find it convenient for maintaining momentum between in-person commitments while using the same therapeutic approaches they would in clinic-based work.
