About Harout
Harout "Harry" Ohannessian is a licensed marriage and family therapist who helps people manage strong emotions and rebuild day-to-day life. He works with adults facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief, and anger. Harry also supports people coping with trauma, eating concerns, bipolar mood shifts, and other intense reactions.
Harry brings 11 years of clinical experience to sessions and practices in California. He uses plain, direct conversation to help people name what feels overwhelming.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on practical skills and clearer ways of seeing patterns that keep problems alive. He favors a relational, attachment-informed stance that looks at how early bonds shape current reactions. That perspective is mixed with tools from cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy to address thinking habits, emotion regulation, and coping skills.
Motivational interviewing and client-centered methods are woven into his work to support readiness for change and to center each person’s goals. Together, these approaches aim to reduce distress and build more satisfying daily routines and relationships.
Harry 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. He practices as an LMFT in California and offers services in English, Arabic, and Armenian.

Online approaches that combine connection and skills
Harry often uses attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships shape current feelings and reactions. That approach helps people understand patterns in close relationships and how those patterns affect anger, trust, and intimacy.He also draws on cognitive behavioral therapy, which focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with real-life experiments. CBT is useful for anxiety, mood shifts, and changing the thinking that fuels intense reactions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, try techniques in session, and adjust methods based on what helps most. That collaborative process makes it easier to pick strategies that fit the person and the problem.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video allows face-to-face conversation for deeper emotional work, while phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a quick check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging suit shorter updates, skill practice between sessions, or times when writing feels more comfortable. These options make scheduling more flexible and let people keep therapy consistent around work and family demands.
