About Mariah
Mariah Farmer-Grace is a Licensed Certified Social Worker - Clinical (LCSW-C) practicing in Maryland with six years of clinical experience. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, and self-esteem struggles. Mariah also focuses on communication problems, mood disorders, post-traumatic stress, domestic violence, fertility issues, and building self-love.
She uses practical, task-focused work to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and patterns. Sessions include conversations about specific situations and small experiments to try new responses. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and trauma-focused methods when those fit the concern.
Mariah also integrates motivational interviewing and psychodynamic ideas to understand what keeps someone stuck and what can move them forward. That mix informs short-term problem solving and longer conversations about past experiences that affect current behavior. Sessions balance present-focused skills with attention to underlying feelings and histories.
People who prefer concrete steps and clear tools tend to do well with this approach. Mariah encourages planning doable changes between sessions and checking how those changes worked. The emphasis is on learning new habits and noticing what gets in the way.
To begin, a person completes a short questionnaire and schedules an initial session. Cost varies with location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time. Sessions are held in English and international clients are not accepted.
How her approaches work for online therapy
Mariah commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Trauma-Focused Therapy in her work. CBT focuses on identifying specific thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going, and it adds practical exercises to test new ways of thinking. Trauma-focused work involves stabilizing reactions, understanding how past events affect current responses, and building skills to manage triggers.She also draws on Motivational Interviewing to help people clarify their goals and increase motivation for change. That approach uses short conversations to resolve ambivalence and plan next steps. Together these methods give options: short-term skills for immediate problems and deeper sessions to process history when needed.
Finding the right mix is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to decide which approaches fit a person's needs, goals, and preferences. Clients set priorities and review what is working as therapy progresses.
