Hana Kuc, LMHC, LPCC

Hana Kuc is a licensed mental health counselor who practices from New York and brings 15 years of experience to her work. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma, and self-esteem challenges. Hana speaks English, Czech, and Slovak and draws on practical methods to help clients move forward.

Hana uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy alongside EMDR and motivational interviewing. She helps people break fears into small, manageable steps. Sessions emphasize steady progress, patience, and realistic goal-setting rather than quick fixes.

Many people who come to Hana struggle with perfectionism, overwork, procrastination, or burnout. She helps clients notice the beliefs and habits that keep those patterns going. Then she supports changes in thinking and behavior that free up time and energy for problem solving and enjoyment.

Hana also supports people facing grief, relationship stress, parenting pressures, and career transitions. When addiction or compulsive behaviors are present, she works to understand motivation and to build practical strategies for change.

Her style is direct and compassionate. She encourages imagination and acceptance while teaching concrete skills. The goal is steady relief from distress and clearer choices about the next steps in life.

How these methods work online

Hana commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, teaching practical tools for anxiety, panic, and mood concerns. She also uses Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing to address traumatic memories by processing distress in a structured way, often reducing the intensity of painful memories.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Hana will talk with each person about goals, history, and preferences and then suggest ways to blend CBT, EMDR, and motivational interviewing. She checks in regularly and adjusts methods as progress unfolds so work stays relevant and manageable.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video lets people use visual cues and practice in-session exercises, phone works well when bandwidth is limited, live chat can suit quick check-ins, and messaging supports short reflections between sessions. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, parenting, and other commitments.
