Hana Yin, LMFT

Hana Yin is an LMFT with 16 years of clinical experience based in Hawaii. She creates a welcoming, affirming space where people can talk about what matters to them and find practical ways to move forward. Her style is warm and person-centered, and she focuses on listening first so clients feel heard and understood.

Hana helps with a wide range of concerns, including stress, anxiety, relationship and intimacy-related issues, trauma and abuse, ADHD, addictions, sleep problems, anger, and low self-esteem. She also works with career changes, compassion fatigue, and life transitions. Jealousy is among the relationship-related themes she addresses when it comes up in sessions.

Her methods draw on several evidence-informed approaches. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to identify unhelpful thinking and build new habits. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills support emotion regulation and distress tolerance. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients clarify values and take committed action.

Hana also uses attachment-based and client-centered ways of working to strengthen relational understanding and improve communication. She emphasizes practical strategies alongside reflective conversation, so people leave sessions with tools they can use right away.

How Hana’s Approaches Translate to Online Sessions

Hana draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy along with attachment-based principles in her work. ACT focuses on clarifying what matters to you and taking actions aligned with those values, which can help with anxiety, relationship concerns, and coping with life transitions. CBT looks at patterns of thinking and behavior to build practical skills for managing stress, sleep issues, and mood. Attachment-based work pays attention to relational patterns and communication, helping people understand how early bonds can shape present relationships.

Finding the right approach is a joint process. The therapist will talk with clients about their goals and preferences, and together they decide which methods to try. Sessions can blend skills practice, conversation, and exercises to fit the client’s needs rather than sticking to a single method.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - for example by avoiding travel time, allowing shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, or offering alternatives when video is difficult. Licensed professionals adapt activities like skills coaching, values work, and communication practice so they work well in virtual settings.
