About Hatoun
Hatoun Altharwa is a licensed mental health counselor with nine years of clinical experience in Washington. Hatoun brings a straightforward, human approach to therapy and focuses on building an honest working relationship with each person. They prioritize listening first and helping people feel safe enough to talk about what really matters.
Hatoun believes therapy begins with trust. As people feel heard, they often start to notice old beliefs and patterns that no longer serve them.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on examining feelings and reactions and on trying small changes that can make daily life easier. That means practical steps as well as space to reflect. Work in Hatoun's practice addresses stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma and abuse, addictions, sleeping problems, relationship concerns, self-esteem, LGBT-related issues, and family challenges.
The approach uses a combination of talking, skills practice, and body-focused awareness to help people manage symptoms and build new habits. Hatoun explains methods plainly and tailors them to the person in front of them. People who come to Hatoun can expect a calm, direct style.
Sessions aim to help people feel more grounded and clearer about next steps. Goals are set together and adjusted as progress is made. Hatoun works with English-speaking adults and provides care through a variety of online formats.
They hold a Washington LMHC license and designs sessions to fit each person’s life and needs.
How therapeutic approaches guide online work
Client-centered therapy places the person's experience at the center of sessions. The therapist listens with curiosity and follows what feels most important to the person, helping them name concerns and set goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on practical tools to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and is useful for anxiety, sleep problems, and low mood. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches skills for managing intense emotions and improving relationships by combining acceptance and skill building.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Hatoun will discuss different methods and try approaches that match the client's needs, goals, and preferences. Together they will track what helps most and adjust the plan over time to find the best fit.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which offer flexibility for different schedules and needs. Video calls let people work face to face, phone sessions can be easier when video is difficult, live chat supports shorter check-ins, and text messaging helps with ongoing support between sessions. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into work, school, or family life while keeping a steady path forward.
