About Hatoun
Hatoun Altharwa is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) who draws on nine years of experience to support people facing stress, anxiety, grief, addiction, and trauma. Hatoun is based in Washington and offers therapy in English. They bring a calm, steady presence to sessions and focus on helping people feel heard and understood.
Hatoun emphasizes building an honest, trusting relationship first. In sessions they invite clients to share their true thoughts and feelings.
Background and approach
That trust creates space to look at long-held beliefs and patterns that get in the way of daily life. The work often combines attention to the body with talk-based approaches. Hatoun uses somatic methods alongside client-centered listening and practical CBT strategies.
Mindfulness and skills from DBT are added when people need tools for emotion regulation and coping. Hatoun approaches each person as more than a diagnosis. Sessions focus on what is happening now and on small, doable steps toward change.
People learn skills for better sleep, clearer thinking, and steadier moods. Therapy is collaborative. Hatoun helps people set goals and checks in about what is useful.
Phone, video, chat, and messaging options are available to match different needs and schedules.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Somatic Therapy pays attention to how sensations in the body connect to emotions and tension. Online sessions can include guided awareness of breath, posture, and small movements to help people notice and shift physical patterns related to stress or trauma.Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening without judgment and reflecting what a person is feeling. This approach helps people feel understood and safe enough to speak honestly about difficult topics during video or phone sessions.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical steps to change unhelpful patterns. In online work CBT often uses brief homework, thought records, and real-time problem solving to build new habits.
Finding the right approach is a shared process. Hatoun will work collaboratively to decide which methods fit a person's goals and comfort level, and may blend somatic awareness, listening, and skills training over time.
Online therapy offers flexibility in how people connect. Video calls approximate face-to-face conversation, phone sessions let people focus on voice, and live chat or text messaging suit those who prefer short, frequent check-ins. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and to continue work between sessions.
