Jan Tang, LMHC

Jan Tang is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with 23 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship concerns. She supports clients coping with trauma, grief, addiction, bipolar mood challenges, and workplace stress. Jan also works with those facing multicultural issues and LGBTQ matters, and she speaks both English and Mandarin.

Her style is straightforward and practical. Sessions focus on identifying patterns that cause distress and building clear steps to change them. She often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors. Mindfulness techniques are woven in to help with emotion regulation and staying grounded.

Jan brings long-term clinical experience from practice in New York. She emphasizes cultural awareness and pays attention to how background and identity shape people's struggles and strengths. Conversations are collaborative and aimed at real-life change rather than theory alone.

In therapy she helps people set manageable goals and track progress week to week. Work might include skill building for panic or anger, mood management strategies, or planning around career and financial stressors. Parents and professionals can expect clear guidance and concrete tools.

Her services are offered through online formats including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text messaging. Sessions use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time, and international clients are not accepted.

CBT and Mindfulness Online: Practical Tools for Everyday Life

Jan commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice thoughts that increase anxiety or depression and to test new ways of thinking and behaving. CBT is goal-oriented and works well for issues like panic attacks, mood disorders, workplace stress, and unhelpful habits.

She also integrates Mindfulness Therapy to teach simple attention and breathing practices. Mindfulness helps with managing strong emotions, lowering stress, and staying present during difficult moments. These skills can be used between sessions to reduce reactivity and build calm over time.

Choosing the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and daily routines, then adapt CBT or mindfulness techniques to fit their life. That shared planning helps tailor sessions to what feels most useful and sustainable.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls work well for deeper conversation and guided exercises. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or during brief check-ins. Live chat and text messaging allow for ongoing support, quick reflections, or homework check-ins between sessions. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into busy schedules and varied circumstances.
