Hana Kuc, LMHC, LPCC

Hana Kuc is a licensed mental health counselor working in New York. She brings 15 years of clinical experience to her work and helps people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma, and struggles with self-esteem and motivation. Hana speaks English, Czech, and Slovak, and she combines practical tools with a patient, down-to-earth style.

Clients often come with high self-expectations, burnout, procrastination, or patterns of self-blame. Hana focuses on helping people shift rigid beliefs and habits that keep them stuck. She encourages small, manageable steps toward change rather than large sudden shifts.

In sessions she uses approaches such as cognitive behavioral techniques and EMDR alongside conversational, person-centered support. Motivational interviewing is part of her work when people are unsure about change or need to build momentum. The goal is to identify core fears and then practice different ways of responding to them.

Hana aims to make therapy practical and readable. She breaks down problems into specific thoughts and everyday habits that can be changed. Sessions typically include talking through patterns, trying new behaviors, and reviewing what helped between meetings.

She is particularly experienced with addiction issues, first responder concerns, mood and panic problems, and social anxiety. Hana also supports people dealing with grief, intimacy questions, parenting strain, or career stress. To begin, follow the site’s Start Therapy flow to match and schedule with her.

How Hana’s approaches translate to online work

Hana uses cognitive behavioral techniques and EMDR in clear, practical ways. Cognitive behavioral methods focus on identifying unhelpful thoughts and trying small behavior changes to see what works; this is useful for anxiety, mood problems, and everyday habits. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing involves focused processing of traumatic memories and can help with post-traumatic stress and intense reactions when it fits a person’s needs. Motivational interviewing supports people who feel stuck or unsure about change by drawing out their own reasons for moving forward.

Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. Hana will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, and then suggest options to try. Together they review what feels helpful and adjust methods over time so therapy matches the person’s needs.

Session logistics should be confirmed before booking since the biography does not list specific formats. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into workdays, reduce travel time, and allow for check-ins that focus on brief planning or skill practice. If you prefer particular arrangements or have questions about how sessions are held, confirm the available formats when you schedule.
