About Marianna

LMFT in California with 12 years of experience, Marianna Oganesyan helps people address stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, and parenting concerns. She also works with issues around self-esteem, ADHD-related concentration and memory, motivation, and communication problems. Sessions are conducted in English and aim to be straightforward and practical.

Marianna focuses on clear, direct conversation about what’s happening day to day. She helps people name stressful patterns and break them into manageable steps. Conversations concentrate on specific problems, realistic goals, and small changes that can be tried between meetings.

Her experience includes supporting people who are coping with the aftermath of traumatic events and ongoing abuse. She also helps parents manage the strain of caregiving and improve how they communicate with household members. Work on self-esteem and motivation centers on simple, repeated practices to build confidence and focus.

When attention and concentration are a concern, Marianna looks at routines, memory strategies, and environmental adjustments that can reduce frustration. For communication problems and forgiveness, sessions include concrete skills for speaking clearly and rebuilding trust where possible.

She asks clients to identify a few clear goals early on and revisits progress regularly. The practical steps and measurable small changes shape how she organizes sessions and homework between meetings.

Therapeutic approaches used for remote sessions

Many of Marianna's aims use evidence-based techniques that focus on changing everyday habits and thinking. Cognitive-style techniques help people notice unhelpful thoughts and test them with simple experiments, which can reduce anxiety and improve mood. Behavioral strategies focus on small, repeatable actions such as scheduling, memory aids, and graded exposure to feared situations to build confidence and concentration.

Choosing the best approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk through goals, try approaches in session, and adjust based on what the client finds most useful. Clients help set priorities and review progress to decide what to keep doing.

Confirm current session formats before booking, as the biography does not specify formats. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life by removing travel and letting people meet during shorter breaks or between obligations. They also allow focused, practical check-ins that reinforce skills practiced between meetings.
