Harout "Harry" Ohannessian

Harout "Harry" Ohannessian is a licensed marriage and family therapist who helps people manage anger and related concerns. He focuses on helping adults who feel overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression, grief, or relationship strain. Harry explains things plainly and offers steady, respectful support as people work through painful experiences.

Harry has practiced psychotherapy since 2014 and holds a Master of Arts in Clinical Psychology from Antioch University Los Angeles. He also has a Bachelor of Arts in Sociology from California State University, Los Angeles. He lists California as his practice location and provides services in English, Arabic, and Armenian.

In sessions he starts by listening closely to what matters most to the client. He uses a psychodynamic outlook to look at patterns that repeat in relationships and daily life. That work aims to help clients understand where intense feelings come from and how they play out.

He also draws on several other approaches when they fit the person’s needs. These include cognitive behavioral strategies to change unhelpful thoughts and dialectical skills for managing strong emotions. Motivational interviewing and client-centered ideas help people find their own reasons for change.

People who come for help with trauma, intimacy issues, eating concerns, bipolar mood challenges, or compassion fatigue find practical tools alongside deeper exploration. Harry’s style blends empathy with clear guidance so clients leave with skills and greater self-understanding.

How his approaches translate to online work

Harout "Harry" Ohannessian often combines attachment-based ideas with client-centered and cognitive behavioral work. Attachment-based therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns and helps people build more stable connections. Client-centered work focuses on listening, empathy, and following the client’s lead to help them find their own solutions. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) targets the thoughts and behaviors that keep problems like anxiety, anger, and low mood going, offering concrete skills to change them.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Harry will talk with each person about their history, goals, and what feels most helpful. Together they try different techniques and adjust the plan based on what actually helps in day-to-day life.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to attend regular sessions and fit therapy into a busy schedule. It can also allow for shorter check-ins when life gets hectic, and it removes the need to travel to appointments. Licensed professionals typically adapt attachment, client-centered conversations, and CBT exercises to the online setting so people still get both practical skills and deeper insight.
