Mariah Larkin

Mariah Larkin is a licensed marriage and family therapist with 30 years of experience supporting people facing anxiety, depression, stress, and relationship concerns. She brings a warm, interactive manner to sessions and aims to help clients live more authentic, satisfying lives. Her background includes work with people in alternative and creative lifestyles and attention to men's issues as part of her practice.

Mariah blends several therapeutic lenses to match what each person needs. She may use client-centered listening to understand your experience and emotionally-focused methods to address relationship patterns. She also draws on Jungian ideas when exploring dreams and deeper unconscious material.

For shorter-term goals she can incorporate cognitive tools and trauma-focused methods to help with PTSD symptoms, obsessions, compulsions, and grief. Meditation, music imagery, and breath-based resources are taught when helpful so clients leave sessions with practices to use between meetings.

Sessions are guided by a straightforward, compassionate style that invites honesty and self-trust. Mariah describes her presence as supportive and aims to create a space where people can process difficult feelings and consider new directions.

Her training includes Eastern and Western approaches and a doctoral program at the California Institute of Integral Studies. Mariah shares reflections from her own journey when it serves the work and builds on your goals over time. If you want a therapist who combines exploration of inner experience with practical tools, she may be a fit.

How Mariah’s Approaches Translate to Online Work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on active listening and meeting you where you are. It’s about feeling heard and finding your own path forward, which helps with anxiety, depression, and life transitions.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) looks at how people relate and connect in close relationships. It helps identify patterns that lead to disconnection and supports changes in how feelings are shared and received.

Existential Therapy invites reflection on meaning, choices, and life purpose. It can help people facing midlife questions, shifts in identity, or a search for deeper direction.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist collaborates with each person to choose methods that match their goals, preferences, and the issues they bring. That may mean combining listening-based work, emotion-focused sessions, and practical coping tools over time.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the specific session options before booking since formats were not specified in the biography. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and create shorter check-ins when needed. Some approaches translate well to remote meetings, and the therapist will discuss what fits your needs and schedule during the initial matching and planning step.
