Ivana Ross , LMFT

Ivana Ross is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) based in New York with three years of professional clinical experience. She approaches counseling as a deeply held vocation and combines empathy with practical, solution-oriented techniques to help individuals and couples navigate interpersonal and intrapersonal challenges.

Her clinical focus includes marriage and family therapy, couples counseling, anxiety, depression, domestic violence, anger management, bipolar and borderline personality concerns, as well as issues related to stress, intimacy, and self-esteem. She is a clinical fellow of The American Association of Marriage and Family, a role that supports ongoing professional development and helps expand the services she offers to clients.

Ivana holds a certificate in clinical hypnotherapy and often integrates brief, solution-focused methods to address concerns such as weight management, substance-related challenges, anxiety, and specific phobias. She draws from a broad toolkit of therapeutic approaches, including cognitive behavioral therapy, motivational interviewing, existential perspectives, dialectical behavioral strategies, EMDR, person-centered work, solution-focused therapy, and psychoanalytic ideas, selecting techniques based on each person’s unique needs.

Her practice emphasizes a personalized, compassionate stance and aims to equip clients with practical tools for restoring balance in their emotional and relational lives.

Therapeutic Approaches and Remote Care with Ivana Ross

Ivana Ross commonly draws on cognitive behavioral therapy and solution-focused therapy to guide online work. Cognitive behavioral therapy helps identify and change unhelpful thought and behavior patterns to reduce symptoms of anxiety, stress, and low mood. Solution-focused therapy concentrates on practical steps and existing strengths, which can be useful for clients seeking rapid, goal-oriented progress.

She may also integrate dialectical behavioral strategies to support emotion regulation and interpersonal effectiveness when anger or relationship strain is present. These approaches are explained in plain terms and adapted to each person’s situation so that techniques are usable in daily life.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Ivana collaborates with clients to understand their needs, goals, and preferences, and together they determine which methods fit best. That collaborative exploration helps tailor care over time rather than assuming a single method will work for everyone.

Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options allow people to engage in therapy from different locations, fit sessions around busy schedules, and choose communication styles that feel most comfortable for them, while working with a licensed professional to address their concerns.
