About Harout
Harout "Harry" Ohannessian is a licensed marriage and family therapist who helps people facing anxiety, stress, relationship strain, grief, and trauma-related concerns. He communicates plainly and aims to make therapy feel understandable and workable for everyday life. Harry speaks English, Arabic, and Armenian and practices in California.
Harry draws on eleven years of clinical experience to guide conversations about what feels overwhelming. He uses a mix of approaches to suit each person's needs, including attachment-focused work, cognitive-behavioral tools, and client-centered listening.
Background and approach
Sessions center on practical steps as well as understanding the experiences that contribute to distress. In sessions he listens for patterns in relationships, self-image, and emotional reactions. He helps people notice unhelpful thoughts, test them, and develop new ways of coping.
For those dealing with trauma or sexual assault and abuse, he combines careful exploration with skills that reduce distress. Harry also supports people managing mood concerns such as depression, bipolar features, anger, and compassion fatigue. He addresses intimacy issues, eating concerns, paranoia, and personality-related struggles with a steady, nonjudgmental stance.
The work often moves between understanding the past and practicing new behaviors in the present. His academic background includes 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. Harry holds a California LMFT credential and brings that experience into collaborative, goal-focused sessions.
How therapeutic approaches come to life online
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early connections shape current relationships. Online sessions use conversations to identify attachment patterns and try new ways of relating, which can be helpful for intimacy and relationship concerns.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. In virtual sessions clients learn to notice unhelpful thoughts, test alternatives, and practice new behaviors between meetings to reduce anxiety and depressive symptoms.
Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and understanding the person's experience without judgment. That stance helps people feel heard and clarifies goals before introducing practical strategies or skills work.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss your goals and preferences and try methods that fit your situation. Together you can adjust the plan as you learn what helps most.
Online therapy offers flexibility and a range of ways to connect. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging suit people who prefer writing or want brief, ongoing contact between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and to keep consistent momentum toward your goals.
