About Hana
Hana Kuc is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) and a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) practicing in New York with 15 years of experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, motivation, and self-esteem. Hana also focuses on young adult issues, including the pressures that come with early career, relationships, and life transitions.
Hana uses clear, step-by-step methods in sessions. She often helps people face fears a little at a time and shift rigid thinking that leads to overwork or procrastination. Conversations move from identifying unhelpful beliefs to trying different behaviors and noticing what changes.
Her background includes work with people who struggle with perfectionism, burnout, guilt, and shame. She also supports those coping with grief, intimacy issues, sleep problems, and substance-related concerns. Many of her clients bring traumatic histories and symptoms like panic, obsessive thinking, or social anxiety.
Hana draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and EMDR alongside motivational interviewing to guide work in sessions. She aims to help people reduce distress by testing beliefs, learning new coping steps, and gradually approaching feared situations. The focus is on practical shifts that free up energy for everyday problem-solving.
Sessions are conversational and goal-oriented. Hana helps clients set small, achievable steps and checks progress over time. People who want a direct, method-focused approach to sorting anxiety, addiction, or problems common in early adulthood may find this style useful.
How Hana applies therapeutic methods online
Hana uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. CBT breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions so people can try small, concrete changes and measure results. EMDR is used to process distressing memories by combining focused recall with guided eye movements or bilateral stimulation; it is often applied when trauma symptoms or strong reactions to memories are present.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Hana will discuss goals, symptoms, and preferences and together they will choose which methods to try first. That may mean starting with CBT skill-building and adding EMDR if past trauma needs targeted processing. Decisions are collaborative and based on what the client wants to address.

Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a weeknight or lunch break, avoid travel time, and reduce disruption to study or work. Some formats are better for brief check-ins while others suit longer, skills-focused or trauma-processing sessions; Hana will help match the format to the work planned.
