More about Mariah
- 3 years' experience
- Female
- LCSW
As a Black woman therapist, I specialize in supporting individuals navigating complex emotional landscapes, particularly young adults and women experiencing challenges with depression, anxiety, relationships, and trauma. My approach centers on empowerment, healing, and cultivating self-love through compassionate, culturally responsive care.
My therapeutic practice focuses on addressing critical areas including posttraumatic stress, domestic violence recovery, family dynamics, and personal growth. I understand the unique intersectional experiences of Black women and create a safe, affirming space for healing and transformation.
Drawing from evidence-based practices, I help clients develop resilience, rebuild self-esteem, and create meaningful strategies for emotional wellness. My commitment is to walk alongside you with genuine understanding, respect, and unwavering support as you navigate your healing journey.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.
