About Harout

Harout "Harry" Ohannessian is a licensed marriage and family therapist who helps people facing depression, anxiety, stress, and relationship strain. He speaks English, Arabic, and Armenian and practices in California. Harry aims to make therapy a practical place to understand feelings and find steadier ground.

Harry has worked in psychotherapy since 2014 and holds a Master of Arts in Clinical Psychology from Antioch University, Los Angeles. He also earned a Bachelor of Arts in Sociology from California State University, Los Angeles. He brings 11 years of experience to sessions and uses that background to guide his work.

In sessions he focuses on understanding how past experiences shape current feeling and behavior. Conversations often look at recurring patterns in relationships, self-esteem struggles, and reactions to trauma or loss. He uses straightforward talk and listening to help people name what is happening and decide on next steps.

Harry draws from several methods rather than one single model. He commonly integrates psychodynamic ideas with cognitive-behavioral tools, attachment-based thinking, and motivational interviewing. That mix helps people learn practical skills while also looking at deeper life patterns.

People come to work on a wide range of concerns including grief, intimacy-related issues, eating problems, bipolar mood challenges, compassion fatigue, and coping with major life changes. If you think this approach might help, complete the Start Therapy questionnaire to match and schedule a first session.

How Harry's Approaches Work Online

Attachment-based thinking focuses on how early relationships shape current bonds and reactions. It helps when people have patterns of closeness or distance that cause pain, and it can guide work on intimacy-related issues and relationship strain.

Client-centered work puts the person's experience at the center. The therapist listens closely, reflects what is said, and supports people as they find their own answers. This approach is useful for building self-esteem and processing grief or loss.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, targets unhelpful thoughts and behaviors with clear strategies. It often involves setting goals, testing beliefs, and practicing new skills to manage anxiety, depression, or anger.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful. Together they may try different methods and adjust the plan as needs change.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life. It can reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins between in-person visits, or make it simpler to meet from a convenient location. Confirm current session options before booking so you know which formats are offered. Licensed professionals can use online work to teach coping skills, revisit relationship patterns, and support recovery from trauma without promising a particular format.
