About Hana
Hana Yin is a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) with 16 years of clinical experience in Hawaii. She offers a calm, affirming presence and helps people sort through stress, anxiety, relationship questions, and identity-related concerns. Her approach centers on attention to thoughts and everyday habits to support steady change over time.
She uses evidence-informed methods to help people manage trauma, ADHD, sleep problems, anger, and addiction-related struggles. Sessions often focus on practical skills - trying new habits, noticing thought patterns, and practicing communication - in ways that fit daily life. Hana also supports people facing caregiving strain, chronic illness, body-image worries, and career transitions.
Hana works in a person-centered way that honors each client’s experience. Attachment-based ideas guide how she thinks about relationships and closeness, and cognitive-behavioral tools help with unhelpful thoughts and routines. She blends these approaches so work in therapy is concrete, step-by-step, and rooted in what the person wants to change.
She speaks English and Mandarin and accepts clients from outside the U.S. When starting, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions based on therapist availability. Payment uses a cancel-anytime subscription model and may vary by location.
Hana aims to help people build more flexible thinking and healthier day-to-day habits. Her focus is on steady, practical progress rather than quick fixes, and she collaborates with each person to set realistic goals.

Approaches that shape online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice their thoughts and choose actions that matter to them, even when difficult feelings are present. It supports coping with anxiety, chronic stress, and life transitions by clarifying values and building small, consistent habits.Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early and current relationships affect connection and trust. This approach can help with intimacy-related issues, relationship patterns, and feelings of abandonment or insecurity.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Hana collaborates with each person to test methods and see what fits their goals and day-to-day life. She checks in and adjusts strategies so therapy stays practical and relevant.
If you prefer remote sessions, confirm the current session options before booking so you know what formats are offered. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, avoid travel time, or choose a shorter check-in when needed. It also lets people continue therapy when they are living outside the U.S., with scheduling adapted to differing time zones.
