About Hana
Hana Yin is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) practicing in Hawaii with 16 years of clinical experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, ADHD, addictions, intimacy-related issues, sleep problems, anger, self-esteem struggles, career transitions, and compassion fatigue. Sessions are offered in English and Mandarin and international clients are accepted.
Hana uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) alongside Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Attachment-Based, Client-Centered, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) approaches. She focuses on how emotions and attachment patterns shape behavior. That means conversations often look at how feelings show up in relationships and daily life, and how those patterns can be named and changed.
In practice she helps people notice what they feel and how they react. Work may include naming strong emotions, practicing new ways to respond, and shifting patterns that get in the way of connection or functioning. Sessions are straightforward and practical. Clients often leave with clear next steps they can try between meetings.
Hana also addresses complex situations such as abandonment, adoption and foster care issues, caregiver stress, chronic illness or pain, body image concerns, and codependency. She blends talking with exercises that focus on present-moment experience and behavior change.
Her style emphasizes collaboration. Clients set goals and she supports them with tools from multiple therapeutic approaches. To start, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial session.
How EFT, ACT and attachment work in online sessions
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people and couples notice the emotions that drive their reactions and then practice new, more connected responses. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on values, accepting difficult thoughts, and taking action that fits what matters most. Attachment-Based approaches look at how early bonds shape current relationship patterns and help identify safer ways to relate.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Hana uses conversation and simple exercises together with clients to test what helps. She will collaborate with each person to decide whether EFT, ACT, attachment-based work, CBT, or a blend fits best for their goals and life situation.
Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow check-ins from different locations. They can also let people use shorter sessions when needed, avoid being on camera for parts of the meeting, or choose a quieter time slot that fits around work or caregiving. Discuss practical preferences when you complete the matching questionnaire and schedule your first session.
