Harout "Harry" Ohannessian , LMFT

Harout "Harry" Ohannessian brings a focused commitment to helping people recover from trauma and navigate intense life stressors. He has worked with young adults, couples, and families to build healthier self-perceptions and stronger relationships so clients can feel more whole, peaceful, and secure in their lives.

He has practiced psychotherapy since 2014 and combines deep empathy with thoughtful clinical exploration. While he often draws from a psychodynamic lens to help clients understand and process painful experiences, he integrates a range of additional methods to meet each person where they are. His training includes Motivational Interviewing, client-centered and relational techniques, attachment-based work, cognitive and dialectical behavioral therapies, and trauma-focused approaches. He holds 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 is also an LMFT - a licensed marriage and family therapist, which reflects his focus on relational and family concerns.

Harry addresses a wide set of challenges including stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, grief, self-esteem struggles, eating and intimacy-related issues, bipolar disorder, anger, compassion fatigue, paranoia, and personality concerns. He offers care in English, Arabic, and Armenian and is currently accepting clients in California.

Approaches for Online Healing and Relationship Work

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early and current relationships shape emotional patterns. It helps clients explore connection and attachment needs, which can be useful for relationship challenges, intimacy-related concerns, and healing after trauma.

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy, nonjudgmental listening, and the client’s own goals. In this approach the therapist follows the client’s pace and perspective, supporting self-exploration and strengthening self-esteem and coping during life changes.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, examines the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It offers practical strategies for managing anxiety, depression, and unhelpful patterns by identifying and adjusting thought processes and developing new behavioral skills.

Harout "Harry" Ohannessian works collaboratively with each person to determine which approaches fit best. He will consider a client’s needs, goals, and preferences and adapt methods over time so therapy remains relevant and effective.

Online sessions can be scheduled as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for busy schedules and different comfort levels. These options make ongoing support more accessible for people balancing work, family, or geographic constraints, while allowing licensed professionals to deliver consistent therapeutic care.
