About Hana
Hana Yin is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) practicing in Hawaii with 16 years of clinical experience. She creates a welcoming, affirming space where people can talk through stress, anxiety, relationship questions, trauma, and identity concerns. Her approach often draws on existential ideas that help people examine meaning, choice, and values in their lives.
She also uses acceptance and commitment work and attachment-based ideas to help people notice patterns and build different ways of relating to themselves and others.

Hana works with a broad set of challenges including ADHD, addictions, sleeping problems, anger, and low self-esteem. She supports people facing major life changes, career stress, compassion fatigue, and intimacy-related issues. Additional areas of focus include abandonment, caregiving stress, body image, chronic illness, and codependency.
In sessions she emphasizes a person-centered stance, listening closely to each person’s story and priorities. Practical tools from cognitive behavioral approaches and ACT are offered alongside space to reflect on values and meaning. Attachment-based ideas guide work on connection and relationship patterns.
Hana offers therapy in English and Mandarin and takes international clients. Her style aims to be direct but caring, helping people build coping skills while also attending to what matters most to them. People who want a thoughtful, values-focused approach may find her style helpful.

Online support
Approach-driven care offered online
Existential work helps people consider meaning, choice, and values in everyday life; it can be useful when someone feels stuck, disconnected, or uncertain about their direction. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without getting ruled by them and taking actions that match what matters most. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns of relating and helps people understand how early bonds shape current relationships and communication.Picking the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and needs, and then suggest ways of blending these approaches. That process is collaborative and adjusted as progress is made.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction and visual cues, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat supports shorter check-ins, and text messaging makes it easier to share thoughts between sessions. These options make scheduling more flexible and help therapy fit into a busy life.
