About Harout

Harout "Harry" Ohannessian is a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) in California with 11 years of clinical experience. He meets people where they are and focuses on real, everyday problems like anxiety, relationship strain, grief, or coping with big life changes. Harry speaks English, Arabic, and Armenian and aims to make conversations straightforward and understandable.

Harry uses attachment-based ideas to look at how early connections shape current feelings and relationships.

Background and approach

He pairs that with psychodynamic thinking to help uncover patterns that keep people stuck. He also draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to address troubling thoughts and dialectical behavior skills for managing intense emotions. Sessions tend to be conversational and collaborative.

Harry listens for the stories that matter, then helps clients test new ways of thinking and behaving. He often combines insight work with practical skills so people notice change between sessions. His 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.

He holds a California LMFT license and has worked in clinical settings since 2014. People come to Harry for a wide range of concerns, including trauma and abuse, depression, eating-related issues, bipolar challenges, and compassion fatigue. He also supports those dealing with intimacy issues, self-esteem problems, paranoia, and personality-related difficulties.

Online support

How attachment work and practical skills translate online

Attachment-based work focuses on how early relationships shape current reactions and trust. Online sessions let the therapist and client talk through patterns in relationships and try new ways of relating in real time. Client-centered therapy puts the client's experience first, with the therapist offering presence and nonjudgmental listening to help people clarify goals and feel understood.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, breaks down upsetting thoughts and behaviors into manageable parts and introduces exercises to change them. This approach is useful for anxiety, depression, and stress because it gives clear tools to practice between sessions. Together, these approaches let clients gain insight and also learn concrete skills to manage emotions and improve interactions.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before, then tailor the plan over time. Clients can try different methods and shift course as needed while tracking what helps most.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for a full conversation and visual cues, phone calls work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat can suit quick check-ins, and text messaging supports brief ongoing coaching or reminders. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, family, or busy schedules and keep momentum between sessions.
