About Mariah

Mariah Stockard is a Florida-licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) who supports people facing stress, anxiety, relationship and intimacy concerns, depression, trauma and abuse, grief, eating and body image challenges, parenting struggles, ADHD, and a range of family and interpersonal difficulties.

Background and approach

She approaches work with compassion and practical strategies, helping clients process both recent and past stressors while building tools for day-to-day coping and improved functioning. Her style blends evidence-informed techniques with a warm, nonjudgmental presence.

Mariah uses talk therapy and psychoeducation alongside skills work to help clients manage symptoms and pursue personal goals. She draws from several therapeutic approaches, emphasizing collaborative work that honors each person’s experience while offering concrete methods to reduce distress and strengthen relationships.

Licensed in Florida with five years of professional experience, Mariah has worked across age groups and with couples and families. She encourages clients to recognize the courage in seeking change and frames therapy as a partnership aimed at clearer communication, healthier patterns, and increased emotional resilience.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Mariah integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy into her online work, using each to address different kinds of concerns. CBT focuses on identifying and shifting thoughts and behaviors that contribute to anxiety, depression, or eating difficulties, offering concrete skills to manage symptoms and improve day-to-day functioning. Attachment-Based Therapy examines how early and current relationship patterns shape emotions and expectations, helping clients explore connection, trust, and intimacy issues in the context of current relationships.

Choosing the right approach is collaborative; Mariah partners with clients to match methods to individual needs, goals, and preferences. She blends techniques as needed so that treatment reflects what matters most to the client rather than adhering to a single model from the start.

Online sessions are offered by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it possible to engage in talk therapy, receive psychoeducation, and practice skills between sessions from wherever clients are located in Florida, supporting consistency and accessibility in care.
