Hatoun Altharwa is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) based in Washington with nine years of clinical work. Hatoun emphasizes building an honest, close relationship so people feel safe enough to share their true thoughts and feelings. They describe therapy as a place to question old beliefs and let new, healthier ideas emerge.
In sessions Hatoun focuses on the person’s actual experience rather than diagnostic labels. Conversations aim to increase self-awareness, self-understanding, and self-motivation. This approach can help with concerns like stress, anxiety, depression, grief, sleep problems, addictions, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, LGBT issues, family challenges, and self esteem.
Hatoun uses person-centered listening alongside practical methods to help people change unhelpful patterns. Clients often work on noticing automatic thoughts and testing new behaviors, learning skills to manage strong emotions, and grounding the body when stress feels overwhelming. Mindfulness and somatic attention are used to reconnect thoughts, feelings, and physical responses.
Sessions are collaborative and paced to each person’s needs. Hatoun encourages honest feedback so the work stays relevant and useful. The goal is gradual change through clearer self-knowledge and small, achievable steps.

How Hatoun’s Approaches Translate Online
Client-centered work focuses on listening and reflecting back what a person says so they feel understood. Online conversations can recreate that experience through steady, attentive dialogue that helps people surface their true thoughts and feelings.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thought patterns and behaviors and uses small experiments to test new ways of acting. In online sessions CBT often involves setting practical tasks between meetings and reviewing results together to build new habits.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) provides skills for managing intense emotions and improving how people react in relationships. Online DBT-style work can include teaching short, usable skills for distress tolerance, emotion regulation, and mindful interaction.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Hatoun will collaborate with each person to choose or blend methods based on goals, needs, and preferences. The first few meetings are used to test what feels most helpful and to adjust the plan together.
The practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions into a busy schedule, reducing travel time, and making it easier to keep regular appointments. Because the specific session formats were not listed in the biography, confirm which formats are offered before booking. Online meetings can still include skill practice, homework review, and body-based grounding techniques that support emotional work.
