About Hana
Hana Kuc is a licensed mental health counselor who has practiced for 15 years in New York. She holds the LMHC and LPCC credentials and brings steady, practical help to people feeling overwhelmed. She writes plainly and focuses on small, doable steps rather than quick fixes.
Hana works with people facing stress and anxiety, addiction concerns, trauma and abuse, and challenges with self-esteem and motivation. She pays attention to how perfectionism, overwork, and self-blame get in the way of daily life.
Background and approach
ADHD is listed among her focus areas and she helps people manage its everyday effects alongside other concerns. Her sessions tend to be hands-on and solution-minded. She encourages clients to face fears a bit at a time, with patience and imagination.
That often means breaking problems into smaller tasks and testing new ways of responding to old patterns. Hana uses a mix of approaches, including cognitive behavioral techniques, EMDR methods, and motivational interviewing strategies. She draws on those tools to help people reduce symptoms, shift rigid beliefs, and build clearer routines for work, sleep, and relationships.
People who prefer a direct, compassionate style may find her approach helpful. She supports practical change while acknowledging how hard it is to make shifts. Hana speaks English, Czech, and Slovak and works with adults who want steady, goal-oriented therapy.
How Hana’s approaches translate to online care
Hana uses cognitive behavioral techniques to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors. CBT often focuses on small experiments and clear steps to change routines, sleep, and attention patterns. She also uses Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, or EMDR, which focuses on processing distressing memories and their emotional impact. EMDR can help reduce the intensity of past trauma symptoms and make them easier to manage in day-to-day life. Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Hana works with each person to pick methods that match their goals, comfort level, and the problems they want to address. She adapts techniques over time based on what helps most. Online therapy makes it easier to fit sessions into busy lives. Video calls let people work in real time with visual cues, phone sessions can be useful when bandwidth is limited, live chat supports shorter check-ins, and text-based messaging allows ongoing coaching between sessions. These options give flexibility for different schedules and needs while keeping the therapeutic focus on practical change and progress.Questions people ask
