About Mariah
Mariah Patton is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor who supports people facing stress, anxiety, depression, bipolar challenges, trauma, and major life changes. She works with adolescents and adults and brings three years of clinical experience from different treatment settings. Mariah speaks English and practices in Florida as an LMHC.
Clients can expect a down-to-earth style that balances seriousness with levity. She uses an eclectic mix of evidence-based therapeutic techniques tailored to each person.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on practical steps people can use between meetings, plus space to talk through emotions and painful memories. Mariah pays attention to communication patterns and relationship stress even when someone comes in for mood concerns. She helps people notice unhelpful thinking and behavior, manage impulsivity, and reduce isolation.
Work on guilt, shame, or self-worth is framed in everyday language and small, actionable goals. For those dealing with trauma or post-traumatic stress, she offers a steady, paced approach that respects each person’s timing. People with bipolar disorder or mood instability are supported with strategies for coping and for organizing daily routines that stabilize mood.
Mariah encourages clients to explore life purpose and to build self-love in practical ways. Humor and warmth are part of sessions when it fits, and homework is kept simple and doable. The aim is to help people leave sessions with clearer steps forward.
Evidence-based approaches and online access
Mariah uses a few core evidence-based techniques to guide sessions, focusing on the practical steps people can use day to day. One common approach helps people identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns to reduce anxiety and depression symptoms. Another approach offers paced work on traumatic memories, helping people process upsetting events at a tempo that feels manageable.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist and client will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they decide which techniques to try and adjust them over time based on how the client responds.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect, using video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual cues matter. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for a shorter check-in. Live chat and text messaging work well for brief updates, quick coaching, or when someone prefers written communication. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, school, or family life.
