About Harout
Harout "Harry" Ohannessian is a licensed marriage and family therapist who focuses on family and parenting concerns alongside relationship and stress issues. He speaks English, Arabic, and Armenian and brings 11 years of clinical experience in California. Harry aims to help people who feel overwhelmed by anxiety, grief, or big life changes find steadier ground in themselves and their relationships.
He works with adults, couples, and families to identify patterns that cause pain.
Background and approach
Sessions tend to be straightforward and relational, with an emphasis on understanding how past experiences shape current reactions. That clarity helps people feel more in control and less stuck. Harry draws from several therapy methods to match what each person needs.
He uses psychodynamic ideas to trace roots of distress, and also relies on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to build practical skills for managing thoughts and emotions. He incorporates Dialectical Behavior Therapy tools when stronger emotion regulation is needed. His training also includes Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing to support relationship work and motivation for change.
He earned 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. In sessions, Harry aims to listen carefully and help clients try new ways of relating to themselves and others.
He offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text messaging as options for meeting and collaborating on goals.
Approach-driven online therapy for relationships and stress
Harry uses Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early bonds shape current relationships, helping clients notice and change patterns that cause conflict or distance. This approach is useful for couples and family work where connection and trust are central.He also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with real-life actions. CBT provides concrete tools for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes. When strong emotion regulation is needed, Dialectical Behavior Therapy techniques are added to teach distress tolerance and self-soothing skills.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to your goals and try methods that fit your needs. Together you can adjust the plan as therapy progresses to find what helps most.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. These options let people connect from home, fit sessions into busy schedules, and follow up between meetings. The variety of formats supports ongoing work on relationships, stress, and daily coping skills.
Attachment-Based Therapy
Looks at how early bonds shaped what you expect from closeness, and how that plays out now with a partner, a parent, or your own children.
Client-Centered Therapy
The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.
