Harout "Harry" Ohannessian , LMFT

Harout "Harry" Ohannessian is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) based in California who specializes in supporting people after trauma and significant life stress. He focuses on helping young adults, couples, and families rebuild a sense of safety, clarity, and connection when anxiety, depression, or painful experiences begin to take over daily life.

He has practiced psychotherapy since 2014 and brings a style marked by deep empathy and thoughtful exploration. Drawing primarily from a psychodynamic perspective, he guides clients to uncover and process underlying patterns and past experiences that contribute to current distress, with the aim of fostering greater self-understanding and emotional relief.

Harout tailors treatment to each person's needs by integrating other evidence-informed methods he has trained in, including Motivational Interviewing, client-centered and relational work, Attachment-Based approaches, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and trauma-focused techniques. This flexibility allows him to address problems ranging from relationship and intimacy issues to anxiety, grief, self-esteem, and coping with life changes.

He earned a Master of Arts in Clinical Psychology from Antioch University Los Angeles and a Bachelor of Arts in Sociology from California State University, Los Angeles. As an LMFT, he collaborates with clients to strengthen relationships, improve emotional regulation, and support a more satisfying, balanced life.

Combining Therapeutic Approaches for Online Support

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current patterns - it helps clients explore connection, trust, and intimacy difficulties and is often useful for couples and family concerns. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental stance where the therapist follows the client's pace and priorities - this approach supports self-exploration, self-esteem, and emotional healing across many concerns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors through practical strategies - it is effective for anxiety, depression, and stress-related problems.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Harout "Harry" Ohannessian works collaboratively to determine what fits each person best. He listens to a client’s goals, preferences, and life context, then blends methods as needed so treatment stays practical and personally meaningful.

Online therapy options such as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging offer flexibility that can make it easier to attend regularly and fit therapy into a busy life. These formats allow licensed professionals to provide ongoing support, skills practice, and relational work without requiring in-person visits, improving accessibility for many clients.
