About Hana
Hana Kuc is a licensed mental health counselor with 15 years of experience based in New York. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, addiction concerns, and trauma find practical ways to feel better. Hana works with clients who struggle with perfectionism, self-blame, burnout, and motivation, and she supports those navigating grief, relationship strain, and life transitions.
Her work is straightforward and gradual. She guides people to face fears a bit at a time, using patience, acceptance, and imagination.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on shifting rigid beliefs and patterns that keep someone stuck, then trying small behavior changes that build new habits. Hana uses tools from cognitive approaches, EMDR, and motivational interviewing to match what a person needs in the moment. She combines techniques to reduce anxiety, address traumatic memories, and increase motivation to change addictive behavior.
The goal is to make coping feel more doable day to day. People commonly bring issues like panic or social anxiety, obsessions or compulsions, sleep problems, and career stress. She also supports those facing first responder issues, compassion fatigue, and young adult challenges.
Conversations are practical and tailored to real-life demands, such as work schedules and parenting tasks. Hana offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text messaging. She speaks English, Czech, and Slovak.
Her credentials include LMHC and LPCC, and she is licensed in New York and California as indicated.
How Hana’s approaches work online
Hana commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and EMDR alongside motivational interviewing, and each can adapt well to remote sessions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes to reduce anxiety and improve sleep. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing addresses the impact of traumatic memories by processing distressing material in a paced way to lower its intensity. Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative conversation style that helps people find internal reasons to change addictive or avoidant behaviors and to build momentum for action.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Hana works with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and comfort level, and she adjusts the plan over time based on what helps most. The relationship and shared decision making guide which techniques are used in sessions.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let a therapist and client use visual cues and screen-based worksheets. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging support quick check-ins, coaching-style prompts, and ongoing reflection between appointments. These options help people fit sessions into busy lives and maintain steady progress without long commutes.
