I do this through utilizing evidence based therapy concepts and techniques. My role is to help guide you through processing stressful and traumatic life events; past and recent. I will provide tools and coping skills combined with talk therapy and psychoeducation to assist with a better day-to-day functioning, and hopefully, overall quality of life.

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Mariah Stockard. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with BetterHelp might be different.
Mariah is fantastic. She listens, is empathetic and has great ideas and advice for working on my long time issues. She really seems to have a grasp on how I think and react to certain situations and helps me to understand why.

I found myself in a tough place emotionally after my engagement suddenly came to a halt, and I was matched with Mariah for my therapy sessions. She was so warm, non-judgmental and helpful, and I'm so thankful for her. I felt truly heard, and Mariah was excellent at challenging my views or ways of thinking in a caring and honest way. I'm in a great place emotionally, and Mariah played a key role in that. I really appreciated the "homework" and worksheets that she'd give me before/after our sessions. She shared great tools and resources with me that I'll value for the rest of my life. I would recommend her to anyone!
