Dr. Stella Verna Ross

Dr. Stella Verna Ross is a Florida-licensed LMHC who brings three decades of clinical practice to work with people navigating stress, anxiety, grief, and relationship challenges. She works with issues that include self esteem, coping with life changes, and motivation.

Her approach centers on creating an open environment where thoughts and feelings can be voiced without judgment. She emphasizes empowerment and practical support as clients take steps toward clearer communication, healthier relationships, or renewed life direction. Dr. Ross attends to sensitive topics such as gender dysphoria, sexual assault and abuse, and first responder issues with steady attention to each person’s circumstances.

Based in Florida and working in English, she aims to help people build coping strategies for phobias, paranoia, personality-related concerns, seasonal mood shifts, and self-harm behaviors, among other areas. Dr. Ross welcomes clients who are ready to start a process of change and supports the work of discovering purpose, repairing connections, and improving daily functioning.
