About Hourig

Hourig Kalajian is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) who frames care around the whole person rather than isolated symptoms.

Background and approach

She blends tailored interventions with a person-centered stance to help clients navigate stress, anxiety, relationship challenges, depression, grief, parenting concerns, career transitions, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and other life changes. Hourig emphasizes an approach that seeks to reduce overwhelm and create a calmer experience for people beginning therapy.

Her work draws on clinical tools from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, Existential Therapy, and Solution-Focused Therapy to shape practical steps toward clients' goals. She pairs collaborative exploration with concrete strategies so clients can address communication problems, commitment concerns, caregiver stress, and feelings of emptiness or isolation.

Hourig also brings attention to multicultural concerns, fertility and pregnancy-related stress, panic and social anxiety, and compassion fatigue. Practicing in California with three years of licensure experience, she offers sessions through video calls, phone, live chat, and text-based messaging.

Hourig uses a subscription model for sessions that can be canceled at any time, and prospective clients begin by completing a brief matching questionnaire and scheduling according to therapist availability.

How therapeutic approaches guide online care



Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings while clarifying what matters most, supporting action that aligns with personal values even when emotions are uncomfortable. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and building practical skills to change behaviors and reduce symptoms like anxiety and panic. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy and nonjudgmental listening, creating space for clients to explore their experience and find their own solutions.

Choosing the right approach is part of therapy, and the therapist collaborates with each client to determine which combination of methods fits their needs, goals, and preferences. This process often begins with exploring immediate concerns, then testing techniques and adjusting the plan together based on what proves most helpful.

Online sessions via video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging make it easier to fit care into busy lives and to access support from wherever the client is located in California. These formats offer flexibility for different rhythms of communication and allow therapists and clients to try varied techniques in ways that suit scheduling, comfort level, and day-to-day demands.
