How Hana’s approaches translate to online work
Hana uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing as core tools in her practice. CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can help with anxiety, panic symptoms, and mood concerns. EMDR is used to process traumatic memories that continue to cause distress and to reduce their emotional intensity.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Hana will work with each person to decide which methods fit their needs and goals. She adapts techniques over time based on what is helpful and what the person prefers.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce commuting time, and allow for check-ins around work or family schedules. It can also let people use phone or lower-bandwidth options if that suits them better. Talk with the therapist during intake to figure out what session rhythm and format will best support your goals.
