About Mariah

Mariah Larkin brings a warm, interactive approach to therapy, with a focus on anxiety, depression, and relationship concerns. She is a licensed LMFT - Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist - and has practiced for 30 years, helping people build more authentic, comfortable, and successful lives. Her work is well suited to those in alternative or creative lifestyles and she maintains a particular specialty in male psychology.

Trained in both Eastern and Western psychologies during doctoral study at the California Institute of Integral Studies, she blends deep, exploratory work with practical tools. She can engage in longer-term exploration of unconscious material using dreams and Jungian psychology, or employ shorter-term interventions such as Brainspotting, Music Imagery Therapy, and cognitive techniques like CBT to address trauma and PTSD. Relationship work is another area of strong training and experience, and she integrates meditation and psycho-spiritual practices for ongoing growth.

Mariah creates an empathic, accepting space that encourages honesty and self-trust while supporting clients through grief, stress, and transitions. She offers compassionate, loving presence and teaches psycho-spiritual tools clients can use between sessions. The first appointment is an opportunity to review background, identify what brings someone to therapy, and begin building a tailored course of work together, step by step.

Online Therapeutic Approaches for Emotional and Relational Growth

Mariah Larkin draws on client-centered therapy to create a nurturing, nonjudgmental space where clients' own perspectives and goals guide the work - this approach supports self-exploration, stress and anxiety management, and building self-compassion. She also uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) to address relationship patterns by helping people identify and shift the emotional responses that maintain conflict or disconnection. For clients interested in deeper exploration of meaning, dreams, and personal symbolism, Jungian therapy offers a way to explore unconscious material and life purpose while integrating creative and spiritual resources.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Mariah works with each person to evaluate needs, goals, and preferences, and she adapts the plan over time so the methods in use fit the client and the issues at hand.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which provide flexibility for scheduling and for communicating in the format that feels most comfortable. These options make it easier to access consistent support, continue therapeutic momentum between sessions, and fit therapy into a busy life while working with licensed professionals and therapists experienced in these methods.
