About Mariah
Mariah Larkin is a licensed marriage and family therapist with three decades of practice in California. She works one-on-one with adults who are feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, stress, low mood, or relationship strain. Her manner is warm and interactive, and she aims to help people find a more authentic, comfortable way of living.
Mariah adapts her approach to each person's needs. She uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy to help people notice and shift difficult emotional patterns in relationships and personal life.
Background and approach
She also draws on client-centered and existential ideas to help people clarify values and life purpose. Her work can be short term or longer term depending on what someone wants. Shorter work may focus on practical skills for coping with anxiety or trauma, while longer exploration can include dreams and Jungian ideas to look into deeper patterns.
Mariah also brings practices such as meditation and music-based techniques into sessions when those fit a person's goals. She describes her style as compassionate and direct, inviting honesty and offering tools people can use between appointments. People seeking support can expect a first session that is calm and conversational.
The initial meeting reviews background, current concerns, and what the person hopes to change. From there she and the client build a plan that feels workable and realistic.

Online support
How her approaches work online
Mariah blends Emotionally-Focused Therapy with client-centered and existential ideas to help people make sense of feelings and life choices. Emotionally-Focused Therapy focuses on identifying and shifting painful emotional patterns so people can feel closer to themselves and others. Client-centered work emphasizes listening, empathy, and following the person’s lead to build trust and clarity. Existential approaches look at meaning, values, and life purpose to help people face crossroads or midlife concerns.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. She will work with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and comfort level. Together they try things, check what helps, and adjust the plan over time so therapy stays practical and relevant.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text messaging, which makes it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video lets people use visual cues and keep a fuller conversational flow. Phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging can be useful for brief reflections, between-session support, or when writing helps someone process their thoughts.
