Sessions typically include conversation, tracking reactions, and planning doable experiments between meetings. The focus is on changing thinking and behavior that keep problems going.
People bring many kinds of concerns, including drug and alcohol addiction, first responder issues, guilt and shame, mood disorders, OCD patterns, panic attacks, PTSD, social anxiety, and young adult challenges. She speaks English, Czech, and Slovak, and works from her New York practice.

How Hana uses CBT, EMDR, and motivational work online
Hana integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, and Motivational Interviewing into her work. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes to reduce anxiety and improve sleep and mood. EMDR uses structured processing to address painful memories and trauma symptoms so those memories feel less overwhelming. Motivational Interviewing helps people clarify what they want to change and resolve mixed feelings about steps like reducing substance use.Choosing an approach is a collaborative step. Hana will talk about your goals and try methods that fit your situation. Together you decide which techniques to try and adjust them as needed based on how they work in practice.
The original biography does not list specific online session formats, so please confirm available formats before booking. Many people find online sessions fit better into busy days because they can shorten commute time, fit into a lunch break, or avoid the need to be on camera for every check-in. Licensed professionals often adapt EMDR, CBT exercises, and motivational conversations to an online setting so work can continue across schedules and locations.
