How Hana works
Sessions aim to be practical and focused on skills you can try between meetings. Her approach blends client-centered therapy with cognitive behavioral therapy and elements of dialectical behavior therapy. She also draws on mindfulness and motivational interviewing when those tools fit the client’s goals.
That mix lets her tailor sessions to each person’s needs rather than following a single script. In a session Hana listens first and then helps set small, achievable goals. She works on coping skills for stress, strategies to manage mood and anxiety, and ways to handle painful memories or grief.
Conversations are meant to be clear, direct, and useful for everyday life. People who choose Hana can expect a respectful, nonjudgmental environment and a focus on what helps now. She invites clients to explore practical steps toward better sleep, steadier moods, and clearer direction during life transitions.

How Hana’s Approaches Translate to Online Therapy
Client-centered therapy focuses on understanding each person’s perspective and building on their strengths. In practice this means sessions start with listening and follow the client’s pace to set goals that matter to them. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect and teaches specific skills to change unhelpful patterns. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, and sleep issues. Dialectical behavior therapy, DBT, emphasizes emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and better interpersonal skills. DBT techniques can help when strong emotions feel overwhelming or when coping strategies are needed in the moment.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with clients to choose which methods fit their situation, goals, and preferences. That plan can change over time as progress is made and new needs appear.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can work with lower bandwidth, live chat supports a shorter check-in, and text messaging helps people follow up between appointments. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life while keeping the focus on practical skills and steady progress.
