About Mariah
Mariah Larkin is a licensed marriage and family therapist with 30 years of clinical experience in California. She brings a warm, interactive presence to sessions and focuses on helping people manage anxiety, stress, depression, and relationship concerns. Mariah also offers coaching to support life changes and clearer direction.
Her style is conversational and direct. She encourages honest dialogue and helps clients name what matters to them. Meditation and spiritual practices are tools she often shares when helpful for coping and growth.
Background and approach
Mariah adapts her methods to each person’s needs. She uses client-centered work to follow what the client brings, emotionally focused ideas to address relationship patterns, and hypnotherapy to access deeper change. She may also draw on Jungian ideas about dreams and meaning when longer-term exploration is useful.
Sessions can be shorter-term for focused goals or longer-term for exploring roots of recurring patterns. She teaches practical skills alongside reflective work, such as calming practices, ways to shift unhelpful thinking, and tools to improve emotional connection. People who prefer a compassionate but straightforward guide tend to fit well with her approach.
Mariah aims to create a trusting space where clients can process grief, stress, self-image concerns, and questions about life purpose. She supports those seeking clearer direction and greater self-acceptance.

Online support
Approaches that translate to online work
Hypnotherapy can help access deeper habits of mind and support shifts in behavior and self-image by using guided relaxation and focused suggestion; it is often used for anxiety, body image, and habit change. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening, acceptance, and the client’s own goals; it helps people feel heard and to build confidence in their decisions. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) targets patterns in close relationships and helps people notice and change how they respond to emotional triggers. Finding the right way to work together is part of the process. Mariah will discuss different approaches with the client and decide collaboratively based on the person’s goals, comfort level, and what feels most useful in early sessions. Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and needs. Video sessions allow face-to-face interaction for relational work and visual cues. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins. Live chat and text messaging are useful for quick reflections, follow-up between sessions, and for people who prefer writing over speaking.We will earn a commission if you sign up through our link, at no cost to you.
