Harout "Harry" Ohannessian, LMFT

Harout "Harry" Ohannessian is a licensed marriage and family therapist who helps people manage stress, anxiety, relationship problems, and trauma. He meets people where they are and focuses on clear, practical steps that make daily life more livable. Harry speaks English, Arabic, and Armenian and practices from California.

Harry uses a mix of talk-based and skills-focused work. He often combines cognitive behavioral ideas with attachment and client-centered approaches. Sessions aim to identify unhelpful thoughts, strengthen coping skills, and improve how people relate to themselves and others.

He has practiced psychotherapy since 2014 and brings eleven years of clinical experience to his work. Harry's training 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. He holds the LMFT credential and lists California as his location.

In a typical session, Harry listens first, then helps people notice patterns that cause distress. He uses straightforward exercises and collaborative problem solving to test new ways of thinking and acting. That practical focus helps with mood, anxiety, grief, eating concerns, and relationship strain.

Harry also works with issues such as bipolar mood shifts, anger, compassion fatigue, and aspects of personality and paranoia when they affect daily life. He supports people coping with sexual assault and abuse and with changes that come after big life events.

People who choose him can expect a respectful, steady approach that balances emotional understanding with skill building. The goal is clearer thinking, improved relationships, and stronger day-to-day coping.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Harout "Harry" Ohannessian uses approaches that adapt well to remote work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors; it often includes short exercises, thought records, and behavioral experiments that can be done between sessions. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns in relationships and how early bonds affect current connections; online discussion and guided reflection help people notice and shift those patterns. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and empathic support, giving people space to tell their story and set the pace for change.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Harry will talk with each person about their goals, symptoms, and preferences, then suggest steps to try. Together they check what helps and adjust the plan as needed, blending approaches when that better fits the person's needs.

Online formats provide practical benefits for many people. Video calls allow face-to-face connection when helpful, while phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging make it easier to keep therapy going between sessions or to fit support into a busy day. These options offer flexibility so therapy can fit work, family, and daily life.
