About Hana

Hana Yin is an LMFT - Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist practicing in Hawaii with 16 years of experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, relationship strain, ADHD, addiction issues, and concerns related to family of origin and intimacy. Sessions are offered in English and Mandarin and she accepts international clients.

Her approach draws on several practical methods. Hana uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people notice patterns of thought and behavior and try new actions that align with their values. She also integrates Attachment-Based work to look at how early family roles and expectations continue to affect present relationships.

In sessions she favors clear, direct conversation and practical skills work. People practice noticing upsetting thoughts, testing unhelpful beliefs, and building small habits that change how daily life feels. She also uses elements from Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) when emotion regulation and distress tolerance are needed.

Hana has experience helping people with complicated histories, including adoption and attachment questions, blended family issues, and caregiving stress. She also supports those managing career shifts, sleep struggles, anger, and self-esteem concerns. Her background includes work with LGBT clients and those navigating intimacy-related issues.

Therapeutic approaches used for online work

Hana commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-Based approaches in her work. ACT focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them and then choosing actions that align with a person's values. It is useful for anxiety, stress, and getting unstuck from unhelpful habits. Attachment-Based work looks at patterns that started in early family relationships and how those patterns affect trust, closeness, and conflict now. It can help people who want to change how they relate to others.

Finding the right approach is part of therapy. Hana works collaboratively with each person to identify which methods feel most useful for their goals. She will discuss options, try techniques, and adjust the plan based on what the client finds helpful and practical.

Session formats are not listed in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. In general, online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. Therapists can coach skills, review behavioral experiments, and support emotional processing in remote sessions, helping clients apply new practices directly into everyday life.
