About Mariah
Mariah Larkin is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with thirty years of clinical experience practicing in California. She offers a warm, interactive approach and focuses on helping people dealing with anxiety, depression, stress, and relationship concerns. Mariah also works with LGBT clients and those seeking life coaching or clearer purpose.
She blends deep exploration with practical tools. Mariah may use Jungian therapy to look at dreams and unconscious patterns when longer-term work is helpful.
Background and approach
For more focused trauma work she combines cognitive tools and movement-based methods to support healing. Mariah often integrates meditation and psycho-spiritual practices into sessions. She encourages people to develop skills they can use between appointments.
That practical focus helps clients manage symptoms and build a life that feels authentic. Her style is direct but compassionate. She creates an empathic space where people can speak honestly and process grief, stress, and difficult feelings.
Mariah invites candid conversation and a collaborative pace so clients set the rhythm of the work. First meetings are conversational and gentle. Mariah uses the initial session to learn about background, current struggles, and goals.
From there she and the client decide whether to pursue short-term strategies or to explore deeper psychological material over time.

Online support
Therapeutic depth and practical work online
Mariah draws on Jungian therapy to explore dreams and unconscious themes that shape behavior and relationships, which can be helpful for people wanting deeper self-understanding. She also uses Client-Centered Therapy to create an accepting, focused space where the client leads the conversation and feels heard. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) is used to identify and shift emotional patterns in relationships and attachment concerns.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Mariah treats the process as collaborative and will help you decide whether deeper exploration or shorter-term, skills-based work fits your current goals and needs. She adjusts methods over time as goals evolve.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to make therapy flexible. Video sessions allow face-to-face interaction for dream work and emotional processing, phone calls can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and chat or text messaging are useful for brief check-ins or ongoing coaching between sessions. These options make it easier to schedule regular work around life obligations and different communication preferences.
