About Hana
Hana Yin is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) based in Hawaii with 16 years of clinical experience. She creates a welcoming, affirming space where people can talk about what matters to them and take steps toward clearer thinking and better daily functioning.
She focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, ADHD, addictions, and codependency among other issues. She also supports struggles around sleep, anger, self-esteem, career transitions, and compassion fatigue. Sessions are offered in English and Mandarin and she accepts international clients.
Hana blends practical, person-centered work with approaches that attend to emotions and relationships. She uses tools from cognitive behavioral therapy to help people change unhelpful thought and behavior patterns. Attachment-based ideas guide work on relationship dynamics and trust.
Her style is collaborative and down-to-earth. Sessions often involve clear goals, skills practice, and checking how strategies fit into daily life. She helps people build better routines, stronger boundaries, and steadier coping skills.
Hana’s long experience means she has supported people through major life changes, grief, and recovery from difficult events. She emphasizes respect and curiosity, helping each person move at a pace that feels manageable.

How her approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on helping people notice thoughts and feelings without getting overwhelmed by them, and on clarifying values to guide actions. It can help with anxiety, stress, and making life changes. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early and current relationships shape how people relate and feel safe; it can be useful for trust, intimacy-related concerns, and attachment issues. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening, empathy, and supporting the person’s own process of discovery and growth; it is helpful when someone needs a steady, nonjudgmental space to sort things out.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. That conversation is collaborative and may lead to mixing methods to match the client’s needs.
Confirm which session formats are currently offered before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life by reducing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins when needed, or letting people meet from a different time zone. It also makes it possible to continue work through life transitions and while traveling, but specific scheduling details should be confirmed during intake.
