About Hana
Hana Kuc is a licensed mental health counselor practicing in New York with 15 years of experience. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, addiction concerns, and sleep difficulties. Hana combines direct, practical strategies with patience and a collaborative attitude.
Her work focuses on helping people face fears gradually and with care. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and EMDR among other approaches to guide change. Sessions often center on shifting rigid beliefs and coping habits that lead to overwork, procrastination, or burnout.
Hana pays attention to how past experiences shape present struggles. She helps people identify core fears and then test new ways of thinking and behaving. That process can reduce symptoms and open room for clearer problem-solving.
People come to her for a wide range of concerns including trauma and abuse, mood and panic symptoms, obsessive-compulsive patterns, relationship and intimacy challenges, and issues linked to substance use. She also supports those dealing with compassion fatigue and first responder stress.
Hana offers a practical, down-to-earth style. She balances goal-focused work with acceptance and imagination. Sessions aim to be usable in everyday life so clients can try things between meetings and notice what changes.
How her approaches translate to online work
Hana commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which helps identify unhelpful thoughts and builds small behavior changes to reduce anxiety and improve sleep. CBT is practical and often includes homework to try new skills between sessions.She also uses Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, a method for processing traumatic memories so they feel less overwhelming. EMDR is aimed at people with trauma-related symptoms, panic, or obsessive distress and involves guided processing under the therapist's direction.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Hana will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels manageable, then recommend which methods to try first. She adapts exercises and pacing to fit each person’s needs through ongoing collaboration.
