About Mariah

Mariah Farmer-Grace brings six years of clinical experience as an MD and LCSW-C working in Maryland. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship challenges while attending to trauma recovery and self-esteem growth.

Background and approach

Her background blends talk-based methods with practical skill-building to help clients respond differently to triggering situations and persistent negative thinking. She often addresses post-traumatic stress, mood disorders, communication problems, domestic violence, and fertility-related distress, tailoring care to each person’s circumstances.

Mariah emphasizes building resilience and self-compassion, guiding clients to greater emotional awareness and sustainable coping strategies. Her work aims to support healing from past harm while fostering clearer thinking and more satisfying day-to-day interactions.

In sessions she uses evidence-informed approaches including cognitive behavioral strategies and trauma-focused interventions alongside psychodynamic and solution-focused ideas. Mariah frames therapy as a collaborative process that combines insight and practical steps, helping people develop tools they can use outside of sessions to meet their goals.

Approach-Focused Care Through Online Therapy



Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) emphasizes identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety and low mood; it often includes practical exercises clients can try between sessions. Trauma-Focused Therapy concentrates on processing traumatic experiences with attention to safety and pacing, helping people reduce the long-term effects of past harm and rebuild a sense of control.

Finding the right approach is collaborative rather than predetermined. The therapist will work with each person to explore goals, preferences, and responses to different methods, adjusting techniques as progress unfolds so care aligns with what helps most in practice.

Online sessions are offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for varied schedules and life demands. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity of care from different locations and to practice skills in real time between meetings. Licensed professionals can adapt interventions used in person to these online formats while working with clients to determine which option fits their lifestyle and therapeutic needs.
