About Hana
Hana Yin is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) in Hawaii with 16 years of clinical experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, ADHD, addictions, and issues tied to intimacy and family roles. Hana speaks English and Mandarin and works with people around life transitions and everyday strains at home.
Hana uses practical, evidence-informed approaches to help people sort out what matters most. She often draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to clarify values and build meaningful action. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy tools are used for shifting patterns of thinking and behavior that keep problems stuck. Attachment-based ideas help when relationship patterns and old hurts show up in current life.
Sessions are described in straightforward terms. Hana listens, asks focused questions, and offers simple skills to try between meetings. She also uses client-centered methods to keep the work grounded in the client’s own priorities and pace. Sessions can include emotion regulation skills from Dialectical Behavior Therapy when strong feelings are getting in the way.
Hana has experience addressing a broad set of concerns beyond the most common ones, including caregiving stress, body image, blended family dynamics, adoption and foster care issues, and chronic illness. She also works with people processing issues related to LGBT identity and intimacy-related concerns.
Practical matters are handled directly. Costs vary with location and sessions operate through a subscription that can be canceled at any time. International clients are accepted.

How sessions work
How Hana’s approaches translate to online work
Hana commonly draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy alongside client-centered work. ACT focuses on clarifying what matters and taking small, values-driven steps. It helps when people feel stuck or overwhelmed by anxiety and life changes. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early and ongoing relationship patterns affect present behavior and reactions. It can help when relationship patterns, trust, or closeness are causing repeated conflict or distance. Client-Centered Therapy keeps the focus on the person’s priorities. It relies on listening, reflection, and shaping sessions around what the client wants to address.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Hana treats that choice as collaborative. She will talk with the client about goals, try approaches that seem promising, and adjust methods based on what actually helps in weekly sessions.
The profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm which options are offered before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy routine, shorten travel time, and allow for a quicker check-in during a work break. They can also let people use audio-only sessions when bandwidth is limited or prefer not to be on camera. Talk with Hana through the platform’s intake steps to confirm the formats that suit your needs and schedule.
