Hana Kuc

Hana Kuc is a licensed mental health counselor with 15 years of clinical experience based in New York. She works with people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, addiction, trauma, and self-esteem struggles. Hana aims to help clients find practical ways to manage strong emotions and make changes that feel doable over time.

Hana uses a mix of approaches in her work, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, and Motivational Interviewing. She prefers small, steady steps when people face fears or feel stuck. Sessions often focus on identifying the thoughts and patterns that keep someone trapped, then testing different responses in real life.

Many clients come with perfectionism, burnout, or self-blame. Hana pays attention to how those habits show up in everyday choices, like procrastination or overwork. She helps people shift unhelpful beliefs so they can try new behaviors and solve problems more easily.

Hana also supports people handling grief, relationship and intimacy concerns, parenting stress, career transitions, and compassion fatigue. She brings patience and a nonjudgmental attitude to conversations about identity and LGBT-related concerns.

She offers sessions in English, Czech, and Slovak. People start by using the Start Therapy button and completing a short matching questionnaire to schedule according to therapist availability.

How Hana Uses CBT, EMDR, and Motivational Interviewing Online

Hana draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change the thoughts and behaviors that contribute to anxiety, anger, or low mood. CBT work often includes simple experiments to try between sessions and clear goals for daily life.

She uses Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing to address traumatic memories and the strong reactions they trigger. EMDR aims to reduce the intensity of those memories and the symptoms that follow, helping people feel less ruled by the past.

Motivational Interviewing is used when someone feels stuck or ambivalent about change. That approach focuses on clarifying a person’s own reasons for change and building the motivation to try new steps.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Hana will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences, and together they decide what to try first. She adjusts methods as work progresses to find the best fit.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm current session options before booking so you know what formats are available. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when that is helpful. Licensed professionals can adapt CBT, EMDR, and Motivational Interviewing to remote sessions so long as the format suits the person’s goals and circumstances.
