About Hana
Hana Yin is a licensed marriage and family therapist with 16 years of clinical experience based in Hawaii. She creates a warm, nonjudgmental space where people can talk through stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, and questions about identity. She offers care in English and Mandarin and works with people navigating many life changes.
Her approach blends practical, goal-focused methods with attention to emotions and attachment needs. She uses the Gottman Method alongside Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and attachment-based ideas to help people strengthen communication and reconnect with their values.
Background and approach
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and client-centered techniques appear in sessions to address thinking patterns and build coping skills. Hana draws on experience helping with trauma and abuse, ADHD, addictions, sleep and anger problems, and struggles with self-esteem and intimacy. She also supports people dealing with career stress, caregiving burdens, chronic illness, body image, and related concerns like abandonment and adoption issues.
Sessions can be scheduled as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different needs and routines. International clients may work with her as well. Fees vary by location and use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.
To begin, a person selects the Start Therapy button and completes a short matching questionnaire before scheduling according to therapist availability.

Online support
Online approaches that focus on relationships and values
Hana uses Gottman-informed practices to help people improve communication and manage conflict with practical exercises and structured conversation skills. Those techniques are useful for people looking to reduce arguing patterns and rebuild connection.She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), which helps people clarify what matters most and take small, meaningful steps toward those values while learning to tolerate difficult emotions. Attachment-based ideas guide work on how early patterns affect current relationships and on building safer, more reliable ways of relating.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Hana will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped in the past, then try methods that match those needs. This is a collaborative process where adjustments are made as progress is tracked.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different routines. Video is good for full sessions and visual cues, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and messaging or chat can work for quick check-ins or brief coaching between longer sessions. These options make therapy more flexible for work breaks, travel, or busy family schedules.
