About Hourig
Hourig Kalajian is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) based in California. She focuses on helping people take the uncertain first steps into therapy and reducing the stress that comes with reaching out. Her approach is person-centered and grounded in seeing each client as a whole person, not just a diagnosis.
She uses a mix of practical approaches to match individual needs. That can mean talking through current thoughts and behaviors, working on values and meaning, or setting short-term goals to get unstuck.
Background and approach
Sessions aim to be calm and straightforward, with clear steps to try between meetings. Hourig has three years of documented professional experience as an LMFT and brings prior work with young people into her perspective on relationships and family dynamics. She has helped people with anxiety, depression, parenting stress, grief, and career concerns.
She also addresses issues like ADHD, compassion fatigue, and coping with life changes. Her background includes work in school and community settings where she used play-based methods with children and adolescents. That history informs how she meets clients where they are and adjusts techniques for different ages and needs.
She emphasizes communication and practical problem solving. In sessions she blends existential ideas about meaning and choice with more structured tools from cognitive and solution-focused approaches. The goal is to help people clarify what matters to them, reduce overwhelm, and build manageable steps forward.

Online support
How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Existential Therapy focuses on questions of meaning, choice, and responsibility. In sessions this can look like talking through values, life direction, and feelings of emptiness to help clarify what matters and what choices feel right. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) combines acceptance of difficult thoughts with committed action toward values. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes by teaching skills to notice thoughts and move toward meaningful goals.Choosing a therapeutic approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most comfortable. Then she adapts methods - for example blending existential reflection with ACT skills or adding structured cognitive techniques - so the work fits the client's needs.
Online formats available include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions let people read body language and have longer, depth-oriented work. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging offer brief check-ins and flexible support between longer appointments. These options make it easier to schedule therapy around work, parenting, school, or other commitments.
