About Hana

Hana Yin is an LMFT with 16 years of clinical experience based in Hawaii. She creates a welcoming, affirming space where people can talk about what matters most to them. Her style is direct and compassionate, focused on helping clients find practical steps forward.

Hana works with a range of concerns including stress, anxiety, relationship challenges, trauma and abuse, ADHD, addictions, and issues around intimacy and self-esteem. She also supports people facing caregiver strain, chronic illness, career transitions, and aging and geriatric issues. Sessions are grounded in everyday language and concrete goals rather than jargon.

Her approach draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, cognitive behavioral ideas, attachment-based work, and client-centered principles. She also uses elements of Dialectical Behavior Therapy to help with emotion regulation when needed. In session clients can expect collaborative goal-setting, skills practice, and attention to patterns that get in the way of progress.

Hana has worked with people across many phases of life and brings practical experience to complex situations. She speaks English and Mandarin and accepts international clients. Cost varies by location and uses a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.

Approaches that guide online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and refocus on values and small actions. It is useful for anxiety, stress, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behavior and teaches practical strategies to break unhelpful patterns. It suits problems like anxiety, sleep issues, and low mood. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how relationships shape expectations and reactions, and it helps people improve connection and emotional safety in relationships.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to pick methods that match their goals and preferences. That may mean trying a few techniques and adjusting as progress is made.

Confirm current session options before booking since formats are not listed here. Online sessions can make scheduling easier and help therapy fit into busy days. They can reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and let people join from different locations when international scheduling is required. Licensed professionals can adapt ACT, CBT, and attachment-based tools to work well in online sessions while focusing on practical skills and real-life application.
