About Marianna
Marianna Oganesyan is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) practicing in California with 12 years of experience. She focuses on practical help for stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, parenting struggles, self-esteem, and attention concerns such as ADHD. Marianna aims to make the first step toward change feel manageable and supported.
She favors a straightforward, empathetic style in sessions. Marianna creates an open space where people can speak about thoughts and feelings without judgment.
Background and approach
She listens for what is getting in the way of daily functioning and helps clients identify small, realistic steps to try between sessions. Marianna often helps people who are struggling with concentration, motivation, and memory by breaking goals into clear tasks. For parenting concerns she focuses on skills that reduce daily stress and improve family routines.
With trauma and abuse she prioritizes safety, pacing, and helping clients build coping skills. Communication problems and forgiveness are frequent topics in her work. She helps clients practice clear communication tools and consider how letting go of past hurts might fit into their goals.
Sessions balance practical strategies with time to process emotions. Her approach is collaborative: Marianna works with each person to set goals and test what helps. She encourages small changes that add up over time and checks in about progress on a regular basis.
Evidence-based techniques and online convenience
Many licensed professionals use evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address attention and anxiety concerns. One common approach focuses on goal setting and behavioral strategies to improve concentration and daily routines; it breaks larger tasks into manageable steps and teaches practical habits to support focus. Another approach centers on building coping skills for stress and trauma by teaching grounding, emotion regulation, and paced exposure so people can manage strong feelings and gradually face difficult memories or situations.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they try techniques, review what helps, and make adjustments based on progress and feedback.
Online therapy offers flexibility for those juggling busy schedules. Video calls let people meet face to face from different locations. Phone sessions can be easier when video is not possible or bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging provide quick check-ins, shorter updates, or support between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, school, or family routines while maintaining a steady course of care.
