About Marianna
Marianna Oganesyan is a licensed marriage and family therapist who focuses on practical, day-to-day support. She draws on 12 years of professional experience to help people facing stress, anxiety, trauma or abuse. She also addresses parenting challenges, self-esteem, attention and focus concerns in straightforward, relatable language.
In sessions she aims to build an open space where clients can share thoughts and feelings without judgment. Conversations tend to be direct and focused on real-life strategies clients can try between meetings.
Background and approach
Marianna emphasizes small, achievable steps so progress feels manageable rather than overwhelming. She also works on communication problems and issues around forgiveness, helping clients clarify what they want and how to say it. For people struggling with concentration or memory, she offers practical techniques to improve daily functioning.
Her approach is collaborative, with the therapist and client deciding together what to try next. Marianna encourages anyone who is nervous about beginning therapy to take the first step. She supports clients through the early stages and helps set realistic goals.
The aim is steady, lasting change rather than quick fixes. Sessions are conducted in English and are offered to clients in California. Marianna explains options clearly and helps clients choose tools that fit their lives and schedules.
Evidence-based approaches for online support
Many therapists use evidence-based techniques that focus on skills and practical changes. Cognitive approaches help people identify and change unhelpful thought patterns that fuel anxiety and stress. These methods teach simple exercises to try when worries or negative thoughts come up.Behavioral skill work targets everyday routines and habits to improve focus and concentration. This can include short, structured tasks to build attention and techniques to manage distractions. For trauma-related concerns, trauma-informed methods emphasize safety and pacing, helping clients gradually process difficult memories while building coping skills.
Choosing the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will listen to your concerns, goals, and preferences and then suggest approaches to try together. Adjustments are made as needed so the plan fits your life and moves at a comfortable pace.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules and to continue work between meetings. Many clients find the variety helps them stay consistent while using techniques in real time.
