Ivana Ross

Ivana Ross is a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) based in New York. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, anger, intimacy-related concerns, and self-esteem struggles. Her approach aims to be practical and supportive for people looking for clearer thinking and steadier relationships.

She emphasizes a personalized style that adjusts to each person's needs. Sessions center on identifying patterns that cause distress and building skills to respond differently. Ivana uses brief, goal-oriented techniques alongside deeper, exploratory work when that fits a person's goals.

Ivana brings three years of clinical experience and blends several evidence-informed methods to match what a person needs at the moment. She holds a certificate in clinical hypnotherapy and works from a marriage and family therapy perspective to address individual and interpersonal concerns. Her language skills include English, Croatian, and Serbian which can help speakers of those languages feel understood.

Her practice emphasizes collaboration - setting goals together and checking progress along the way. People who are dealing with anger or relationship tension often start by learning quick strategies to lower reactivity and then expand into longer-term patterns that feed the problem.

To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to therapist availability. The subscription used for sessions can be canceled at any time, and international clients are accepted.

How evidence-based methods translate to online work

Ivana describes her practice as using evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people change unhelpful patterns. Cognitive behavioral approaches focus on identifying thoughts and behaviors that fuel stress and anger, then teaching practical skills to shift them. Brief solution-focused techniques concentrate on small, concrete steps and goals that can produce quick relief and clearer direction.

Finding the right combination of methods is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to decide which approaches fit their goals, current challenges, and comfort level. Goals and methods are reviewed and adjusted as progress is made so therapy stays useful and relevant.

If you are interested in online sessions, confirm available formats before booking since specific session types were not specified in the biography. Online work can make it easier to schedule therapy around a busy day, reduce time spent traveling, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people access a therapist who speaks English, Croatian, or Serbian even if they live outside the local area. Discuss format preferences during the intake so sessions match daily life and practical needs.
