About Hana
Hana Yin is a licensed marriage and family therapist with 16 years of experience based in Hawaii. She offers a calm, affirming approach that helps people tackle anxiety, relationship strain, trauma, and life transitions. Sessions focus on practical steps and steady support rather than medical labels.
Her work often combines hypnotherapy with more talk-based methods to address stress, sleep problems, and compulsive behaviors. Hana uses client-centered techniques to listen closely and build a clear plan together.
Background and approach
She also draws on cognitive behavioral ideas to spot unhelpful thinking and try small tests of change. Many people come for help with self-esteem, career stress, or difficulties after a breakup. She also supports those managing ADHD, addiction patterns, and compassion fatigue from caregiving roles.
When trauma or abuse is part of the picture, sessions move at a pace the person can tolerate. Hana pays attention to attachment patterns and how early losses or abandonment shape current relationships. That makes her work useful for people who want to change how they connect and feel safer with others.
She keeps explanations plain and focuses on measurable, day-to-day improvements. Conversations can include coaching-style tools for performance and goal work alongside emotional processing. Sessions are offered in English and Mandarin.
International clients may be seen through online formats when appropriate.

Online support
How hypnotherapy and ACT translate to online sessions
Hana combines hypnotherapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) in ways that suit remote work. Hypnotherapy involves guided relaxation and focused attention to help shift reactions and habits; it can be used for sleep, stress, and some compulsive patterns. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice thoughts without getting stuck on them and choose actions that match their values, which is useful for anxiety and life changes. Finding the right approach is part of the work. Hana will talk with each person about their goals, try different methods, and adjust the plan as needed. That collaboration helps decide whether hypnotherapy, ACT, or a mix of client-centered and cognitive strategies will be most helpful. Online formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video calls let people keep visual connection for deeper conversations. Phone sessions can be a simpler option when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging support ongoing coaching, brief skill practice, and faster check-ins between sessions. These choices give flexibility while keeping the focus on steady progress and practical tools.We will earn a commission if you sign up through our link, at no cost to you.
