About Marianna
Marianna Oganesyan uses practical, evidence-based techniques to help people manage daily stress and anxiety. She is a licensed marriage and family therapist in California with 12 years of clinical experience.
Background and approach
Marianna keeps sessions straightforward and focused on what matters most to each person. She supports people facing trauma and past abuse by creating a calm and nonjudgmental space.
Sessions often include ways to improve concentration, memory, and motivation. Marianna also works with those who struggle with attention and self-doubt to build steadier routines and clearer goals.
Parents who feel overwhelmed can talk through parenting challenges and communication problems. The work aims to make small, realistic changes that reduce tension at home.
Marianna also helps people exploring forgiveness and how it might fit into their healing. Her style is warm and down-to-earth.
She invites clients to share thoughts and feelings at their own pace. The goal is practical progress - better focus, more confidence, and fewer days dominated by worry.
Sessions are collaborative and paced to each person’s needs. Marianna helps shape skills that can be used outside the session.
She reminds people that starting therapy is a brave step toward a more balanced life.
Evidence-based approaches for online care
Many clients benefit from practical, evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on skills and coping strategies. One common approach emphasizes structured skill-building to reduce anxiety and manage stress; sessions teach concrete tools for breathing, planning, and refocusing attention to make daily life feel more manageable. A second approach centers on processing trauma and past abuse at a comfortable pace, helping people name difficult memories and reduce their hold on present-day functioning.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to identify which methods fit best based on their goals, symptoms, and preferences. That means trying strategies, checking what helps, and adjusting the plan together over time.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let people meet face to face when more connection is needed. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging support quick check-ins, shorter reflections, or ongoing encouragement between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to keep working on skills across different situations.
