About Hana
Hana Yin is an LMFT - a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in Hawaii - with 16 years of clinical experience. She works with adults on issues such as anxiety, stress, relationships, trauma and abuse, ADHD, addictions, and concerns common in early adulthood. She speaks English and Mandarin and accepts international clients.
Hana uses client-centered methods combined with practical therapies to help people handle everyday pressures. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and attachment-based ideas to address patterns that keep people stuck. Sessions focus on skills, reflection, and clearer choices rather than labels or jargon.
In practice she helps clients who are navigating life changes, career shifts, relationship struggles, sleep problems, anger, and intimacy worries. She also works with topics like codependency, family stress, and the effects of past abandonment or foster care experiences. Conversations tend to be direct and focused on steps a person can try between sessions.
Hana has experience supporting LGBT clients and people managing trauma recovery or chronic health challenges. She incorporates somatic awareness and attention to how feelings show up in the body as part of the therapeutic work when useful to the client. Her approach balances practical tools with exploring relational patterns.
People who choose her can expect a steady, problem-solving focus aimed at clearer communication, better coping strategies, and manageable next steps. To start, clients use the site matching process to schedule an initial session and set goals together.
How Hana blends evidence-based approaches for online sessions
Hana uses approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to guide her online work. ACT focuses on clarifying values and taking committed actions even when difficult thoughts or feelings appear. CBT emphasizes identifying unhelpful thinking and testing practical behavior changes that reduce anxiety or improve mood.Attachment-Based Therapy is another influence she brings into sessions when relational patterns matter. That work looks at how early relationship experiences affect current trust, communication, and intimacy, and it helps people practice different ways of relating in daily life.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Hana will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, then try methods that fit those aims. Sessions are collaborative and may mix skill-building, reflective work, and body-aware practices based on what the client needs.
The therapist context does not list specific online session formats here, so confirm the current session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins on tough days, and reduce travel time. Some formats also require less bandwidth or let a person choose whether to be on camera, which can help when focus or energy is limited.
