About Hana
Hana Kuc is a licensed mental health counselor who has practiced for 15 years. She works in New York as an LMHC and holds an LPCC credential, and she helps people facing stress, anxiety, addiction, and trauma find steadier footing. Her approach is practical and paced to each person.
Hana emphasizes facing fears gradually, with patience and imagination. Sessions aim to break down problems into small steps that feel doable rather than overwhelming.
How Hana works
Many people she sees struggle with perfectionism, overwork, procrastination, or burnout. She supports clients who carry guilt, shame, or difficult memories and helps them shift rigid thinking that gets in the way of change. The goal is to make space for clearer problem-solving and healthier habits.
Hana uses a mix of methods tailored to the individual. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot unhelpful thought patterns, EMDR for processing traumatic memories, and Motivational Interviewing to build momentum for change. She explains techniques plainly and practices them together with the client during sessions.
Sessions are offered in English, Czech, and Slovak. People who want practical steps, steady support, and a collaborative plan for change will find a straightforward, compassionate style in her work.

Online support options
How Hana’s Approaches Work Online
Hana commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and EMDR as part of her online practice. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them in everyday life to reduce anxiety and improve mood. EMDR helps people process and lessen the hold of traumatic memories through guided attention and structured processing.Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels tolerable, then decide together which methods to try first. That collaborative process keeps treatment responsive to changing needs and helps clients stay engaged in the work.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls let people use visual cues during longer therapy sessions. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or when a client prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging make brief check-ins, quick coaching, or ongoing encouragement easier to fit into a busy day. These options provide flexibility so clients can match therapy to their routines and energy levels.
