About Hana
Hana Kuc is a licensed mental health counselor who has worked in the field for 15 years. She practices in New York and supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma, self-esteem struggles, and parenting concerns. Hana uses practical conversation and focused exercises to help clients move forward.
Her background includes work with people who struggle with perfectionism, burnout, procrastination, and self-blame. She helps clients notice unhelpful beliefs and then tries new ways of responding.
Background and approach
That often means small, steady steps toward facing fears with patience and care. Hana blends evidence-based tools into everyday language. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot thinking patterns that feed anxiety and to build clearer, more helpful habits.
She also brings in EMDR for people who have hard-to-shake traumatic memories and Motivational Interviewing to support change when motivation feels stuck. Sessions are practical and goal-oriented while staying warm and respectful. Hana encourages creativity and tenderness during difficult moments so clients can experiment without judgment.
She focuses on real-life problems like sleep disruption, relationship strain, work stress, and parenting challenges. Hana speaks English, Czech, and Slovak. She holds New York LMHC and California LPCC credentials, and she offers video, phone, live chat, and text-based sessions.
Her approach aims to free up energy for problem solving and healthier daily routines.

How Hana’s approaches translate to online therapy
Hana uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and change small daily habits. CBT sessions often focus on concrete strategies for anxiety, sleep, and procrastination, with homework that fits real life.She also offers Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing to address traumatic memories that continue to cause distress. EMDR in practice helps reduce the intensity of those memories and the reactions they trigger. Motivational Interviewing is used when someone feels stuck about change; it supports stronger internal motivation and clearer next steps.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Hana will discuss what feels most useful based on goals, history, and personal preference, and she adapts methods over time in collaboration with each person.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets the conversation feel close to an in-person visit, phone is helpful for low-bandwidth situations or brief check-ins, and chat or messaging allows shorter, flexible check-ins during busy weeks. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, family, and daily life while keeping focus on practical progress.
