About Mariah
Mariah Stockard is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Florida with five years of professional experience. She works with adults who are managing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and intimacy concerns, parenting strain, grief, trauma, and related challenges. Sessions focus on practical skills and clearer day-to-day functioning.
Mariah uses a mix of talk therapy and skills-based tools. She blends attachment-focused ideas with client-centered conversation and cognitive behavioral techniques. That means she listens for patterns in relationships, helps people name thoughts and reactions, and teaches small steps to change how daily life feels.
Her approach includes emotionally-focused methods and narrative work. Emotionally-focused ideas look at how feelings shape interactions and closeness. Narrative methods help people reframe events and tell their experiences in a way that eases stuck thinking.
In sessions she provides psychoeducation and practical coping strategies. Clients can expect clear explanations, exercises to try between meetings, and help applying skills when life gets busy or overwhelming.
Mariah notes experience with a wide range of family-related concerns, including attachment struggles, codependency, communication problems, and parenting stress. She also lists focus areas such as ADHD, chronic illness, body image, and eating-related issues. This background informs how she structures sessions and the suggestions she offers.
People meet with her to process past and recent stressful events, build better routines, and learn tools to manage mood and relationships. To begin, clients are asked to use the site’s online matching process and schedule a first appointment.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns in relationships and how early connections shape expectations. Online sessions using this lens help people name those patterns and practice different ways of relating to partners or family members to reduce repeated conflict.Client-Centered Therapy centers on listening and responding to the person in front of the therapist. In practice this means sessions are paced by the client's concerns, and the therapist helps clarify priorities while offering feedback and validation.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts influence feelings and behavior. CBT in online work typically includes short exercises, thought records, and homework between sessions to change unhelpful thinking and support mood management.
Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped in the past, and will collaboratively try approaches that fit the client’s needs.
Confirm the current session options before booking since formats are not specified here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy day, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules demand it. Talk-based work and skills practice translate well to remote meetings, and the therapist will suggest ways to structure sessions so they fit into everyday life.
