About Ivana
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 problems, and low self-esteem. Sessions are offered in English, Croatian, and Serbian, and she accepts international clients.
Ivana aims for straightforward, practical work. She helps people notice what’s driving strong emotions and develops small, usable steps to reduce overwhelm. Conversations tend to focus on what is happening now and what can change next, with clear strategies to try between sessions.
Background and approach
With three years of clinical experience, Ivana draws on several evidence-based techniques to tailor each plan to the person in front of her. She describes therapy as a collaborative process and checks in often to see what is or isn’t working. That makes adjustments easier if a strategy needs to be changed.
Her approach emphasizes gradual skill building. Clients often practice breathing and grounding, notice patterns that lead to anger or anxiety, and set realistic goals for relationships and self-esteem. Homework is brief and practical so it fits into busy lives.
Getting started is simple: complete the platform matching questionnaire and schedule sessions by the listed availability. Ivana uses video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, and sessions are on a subscription that can be canceled at any time.

Everything Ivana lists, in the therapist's own terms. Anger is the reason this directory exists; the rest tells you what usually sits alongside it in Ivana's practice.
Evidence-based approaches adapted for online care
Ivana uses a few core evidence-based techniques to guide her work. Cognitive behavioral techniques focus on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes to reduce anxiety and anger. These strategies are useful when patterns of thinking fuel strong reactions.Solution-focused methods aim for short-term, concrete shifts. They help set clear, achievable goals and try simple experiments between sessions to see what improves day-to-day functioning. This approach works well for people who want direct steps and measurable progress.
Finding the best approach is a team effort. The therapist will talk about options, try methods that match the client's goals, and change course if something isn’t helping. This collaborative process helps people feel more in control of their care.
Online formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when tone and facial cues matter. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging work well for brief updates, ongoing coaching, or when someone prefers writing to speaking. These options provide flexibility and let clients pick what fits their routine.
