Sana Anas, LCSW

Sana Anas is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with eight years of experience. She offers virtual visits for people located in Hawai'i and focuses on practical, person-centered care for everyday struggles. Sana writes in a warm tone and aims to meet each person where they are. Her work covers a wide range of concerns, including stress, anxiety, depression, mood disorders, substance use, trauma and relationship challenges. She also helps people facing grief, career questions, self-esteem struggles, intimacy concerns, and issues tied to attachment and abandonment. Sana uses several therapeutic approaches and mixes them to fit each person's needs. She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Attachment-Based work, EMDR, and Motivational Interviewing as useful tools. Her sessions often use a light touch of humor and focus on clients' existing strengths. In sessions she will listen first, then build a plan together. That plan may include learning new coping skills, practicing different ways of thinking, or working through painful memories. Conversations are paced to each person's goals and comfort level. To begin, clients confirm their details through Headway.co and may schedule a 15-minute telephone consultation. That short call is used to check fit before telehealth sessions start. Sana emphasizes collaboration and practical steps to help people move toward the life they want.
