Mariah Stockard, LCSW

Mariah Stockard is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Florida with five years of clinical experience. She works with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and intimacy difficulties, grief, trauma and abuse, parenting strains, anger, and a range of related concerns. Sessions are described in straightforward terms and focus on practical coping skills and talk therapy.

Mariah uses evidence-based methods to help people process recent and past stressful events. She combines teaching skills with discussion so clients leave sessions with tools they can try between meetings. Her approach emphasizes understanding attachment patterns and how they affect current relationships and emotional responses.

In sessions she often draws on cognitive behavioral therapy to identify thought patterns that fuel anxiety, low mood, or anger. Emotionally-Focused Therapy ideas help when relationship bonds and closeness are part of the issue. Narrative Therapy is used to look at the stories someone tells about themselves and how those narratives shape behavior.

Clients can expect a focus on concrete strategies for day-to-day functioning, plus space to talk through feelings and experiences. Mariah highlights psychoeducation so people understand why certain reactions happen and what can change. She also works on communication and problem-solving skills for relationship and family stress.

Her experience includes supporting people with ADHD, body image and disordered eating concerns, chronic illness, attachment and abandonment issues, codependency, and coping with life changes. Sessions are intended to be practical and straightforward, with tools that aim to reduce distress and improve routine functioning.
