About Hana
Hana Yin is a licensed marriage and family therapist with 16 years of experience. She practices in Hawaii and creates a warm, affirming space where people can talk through difficult emotions and decisions. Hana speaks English and Mandarin and works with people from a range of backgrounds, including LGBT individuals and those coping with addiction or trauma.
Her work often focuses on stress, anxiety, anger, and relationship struggles. She also helps people facing sleep problems, self-esteem concerns, career shifts, and major life changes.
Background and approach
ADHD, compassion fatigue, and intimacy-related issues are other areas she addresses in sessions. Hana blends several evidence-informed approaches to match the needs of each person. She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, cognitive behavioral strategies, dialectical behavior ideas, attachment-based work, and client-centered methods.
These tools help people build new skills, notice patterns, and make choices that align with their values. Her background includes trauma-informed practice and years of clinical experience working with complex presentations. That experience informs practical session work such as pacing difficult conversations and teaching coping strategies.
Sessions are aimed at helping people feel more able to manage emotions and relationships one step at a time. People who start here collaborate with Hana to set goals and try strategies that fit their life. Therapy can include talking, skill practice, and exploring how past experiences shape current reactions.
The approach is steady and focused on real-world progress over time.

Therapeutic approaches and online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without being driven by them. It focuses on clarifying values and taking small, meaningful actions toward the life someone wants. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thinking and behavior that keep problems going and teaches practical skills to change those patterns, which is useful for anxiety, anger, and sleep issues. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationships shape current reactions and helps people develop safer ways of relating to others.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Hana will collaborate with each person to identify goals, try methods that fit their needs, and adjust strategies based on what helps. That collaborative process helps match techniques to real-life concerns rather than using a one-size-fits-all plan.
Online therapy offers flexibility across several formats. Video calls allow face-to-face conversations and guided exercises. Phone sessions can be lower bandwidth and easier to fit into a work break. Live chat and text-based messaging support quick check-ins, shorter reflections, and ongoing coaching between sessions. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent while fitting into a busy schedule.
