About Sana

Sana Anas is a licensed clinical social worker with eight years of practice experience. She is based in Hawaii for virtual visits and focuses on helping adults navigate stress, mood concerns, addiction, trauma, and relationship issues. Sana writes in a warm, down-to-earth way and aims to make sessions feel approachable and practical.

She takes a person-centered stance and starts by meeting people where they are. Conversations are straightforward, and she draws on each person’s strengths to set goals.

Background and approach

She often uses a mix of approaches and adds a touch of gentle humor when appropriate to keep work grounded and humane. In sessions she blends structured techniques with exploration of attachment patterns and life history. That can mean practicing behavioral changes one week and talking through past hurts the next.

She tailors the plan to what feels useful and realistic for each person. Sana has experience addressing a wide range of concerns including anxiety, depression, bipolar mood swings, grief, substance use, intimacy-related issues, and career or life-purpose questions. She also supports people working through body image, codependency, communication problems, and fallout from infidelity.

Practical details are handled up front. Sessions may be arranged as video calls, phone visits, live chat, or text messaging. New clients begin by completing a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a consultation to see if the working fit feels right.

How Sana’s Approaches Work Online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then clarify personal values and take small steps toward a meaningful life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety or low mood. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns in relationships and helps people rebuild safer ways of connecting and communicating.

Choosing the right approach usually happens together. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, history, and what has felt helpful before, then recommend one or more approaches to try. That plan can be adjusted as work unfolds so methods match changing needs and preferences.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and skill practice. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging can support people who prefer written check-ins, want frequent brief contact, or need help between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, travel, or varied schedules while maintaining a consistent course of care with a licensed professional.
