About Maryna
Maryna Ross is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Colorado with seven years of practice experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, grief, mood concerns, and life transitions. She focuses on practical help and clear communication so clients can start feeling steadier in day-to-day life.
Maryna uses somatic ideas alongside talking therapy to help people notice how the body and mind respond to stress. She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and attachment-based approaches to support emotion regulation and relationship patterns.
Background and approach
Sessions include skills practice, reflection, and real-world steps that match each person’s goals. Her work covers a wide range of concerns, including compassion fatigue, addictions, intimacy-related issues, anger, self-esteem, career decisions, and family-of-origin problems. She also addresses specific focuses such as abandonment, attachment difficulties, body image, codependency, commitment struggles, and communication problems.
In sessions she adapts the pace and methods to the person sitting across from her. Conversations are direct but respectful, and plans are practical and tailored. She recognizes that starting therapy takes courage and aims to make the process understandable and manageable.
Maryna provides sessions in English using video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. Her practice works through a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to availability.
How somatic and values-based methods work online
Maryna combines somatic-informed work with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and attachment-based perspectives online. Somatic-informed techniques invite attention to bodily sensations and breathing to reduce tension and ground emotions. This can help with anxiety, stress responses, and trauma-related nervous system reactions. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying personal values and taking committed steps toward them while learning to accept hard feelings. It is useful for mood, anxiety, and life-change decisions. Attachment-based work looks at patterns in close relationships and helps people notice old interaction habits so they can try new ways of connecting.Finding the right blend of approaches is collaborative. The therapist will check in about what feels useful and adjust methods based on your goals and preferences. Together you will try tools, review what helps, and refine a plan that fits your daily life.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. These formats let people access care from home, fit sessions around work or caregiving, and use shorter check-ins or longer conversations as needed. The goal is practical support that fits into real life, with methods you can practice between sessions.
