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. Her manner is person-centered and grounded in practical steps clients can use between sessions.

Hana helps with a broad range of concerns including stress, anxiety, relationship issues, trauma and abuse, ADHD, addiction, and LGBTQ matters. She also supports people dealing with intimacy-related issues, sleep problems, anger, self-esteem, career transitions, and compassion fatigue. Intellectual disability appears among the areas she lists as a focus and she includes related concerns like autism and attachment issues.

Sessions emphasize collaboration and concrete tools. Clients can expect calm, direct conversation, focused skill-building, and practical homework when helpful. Hana aims to support people as they work toward clearer goals and steadier daily functioning.

Step 3

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people name their values and take steps that match those values despite painful thoughts or feelings. It’s useful for anxiety, life transitions, and motivation. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and testing new behaviors to change how people feel. It’s commonly used for anxiety, sleep issues, and mood concerns. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at relationship patterns and communication habits to improve closeness and safety in relationships.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences and then recommend one or more methods to try. That decision is collaborative and can shift as progress is made.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, shorten travel time, and allow quicker check-ins between appointments. Some formats use less bandwidth or allow a brief phone-based check-in when a longer session is hard to schedule. Ask about the available session styles and scheduling to find what fits daily life best.
