About Sana

Sana Anas is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with eight years of experience who provides therapy to adults from Hawaii. She aims to make starting therapy simple and approachable. Sana uses a friendly, down-to-earth style and meets people where they are.

Sana draws on several practical therapy methods to address things like anxiety, depression, stress, addiction, trauma, mood disorders, and relationship or intimacy concerns. She listens for strengths and uses them to build solutions that fit each person.

Background and approach

Her tone is warm and often includes a bit of humor to ease difficult conversations. In sessions she focuses on present problems and on what a client wants to change. Sana adapts the plan as progress unfolds and as needs shift.

She pays attention to attachment patterns and how past experiences affect current relationships. People come to her for help with coping when life feels overwhelming, for working through grief or losses, and for managing career or self-esteem struggles. She also addresses concerns such as body image, codependency, communication problems, and issues related to kink and alternative sex culture.

Sana offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. She supports English-speaking clients and does not accept international clients. To begin, a short matching process helps connect people with a time to meet and see if the fit feels right.

Online support

How Sana blends approaches online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice painful thoughts without getting stuck in them and focuses on taking steps toward what matters. It can be useful for anxiety, stress, and life transitions by clarifying values and small actions. EMDR uses guided bilateral stimulation alongside memory-focused work to reduce the intensity of traumatic memories and related emotions; people often use it for trauma and abuse recovery. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns, which helps with depression, anxiety, and mood regulation.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Sana listens to a client’s goals and preferences and then suggests methods that fit those needs. Over time she adjusts the plan based on what is working and what the person finds most helpful.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video allows face-to-face interaction; phone can be easier when bandwidth is low or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text are helpful for quick check-ins or for people who prefer written communication. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy life and to continue work between sessions.
