About Hana
Hana Yin is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) with 16 years of clinical experience in Hawaii. She creates a welcoming, affirming space where people can talk honestly about stress, anxiety, relationships, and identity concerns. Hana aims to help clients feel understood and find practical steps forward.
She uses a person-centered approach that keeps each session focused on the client's priorities. That style is often paired with cognitive behavior strategies to help change unhelpful thinking and with acceptance-based work to build flexible ways of responding to difficult emotions. Sessions include attention to how the body and emotions connect, and practical skills for day-to-day life.
Hana works with a broad range of concerns such as trauma and abuse, ADHD, addictions, intimacy-related issues, sleep problems, anger, and self-esteem. She also supports people dealing with adoption and foster care topics, abandonment, caregiver stress, chronic illness, and the challenges of life transitions and career change.
Her clinical experience includes trauma-informed care and a focus on attachment patterns that shape relationships. She blends talk-based work with coaching elements when clients want help with performance or goal-setting. Hana speaks English and Mandarin and accepts international clients.

How her approaches shape online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, stress, and life changes. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns affect current connections and helps people develop new ways of relating and communicating. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and changing habits through practical exercises and skill practice, which is often helpful for anxiety, sleep problems, and anger.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Hana listens to the client's goals and tries different tools to see what fits. She works with clients to decide which combination of methods will best support their needs and adapts as the work develops.
Confirm current session options before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life by reducing travel time and allowing scheduling around work or caregiving. It also allows regular check-ins and brief coaching between larger goals, and some people find video or phone sessions helpful when they prefer a quieter setup or shorter check-ins. Licensed professionals can help choose the pace and format that works best for each person.
