Jan Tang

Jan Tang is a licensed mental health counselor in New York with 23 years of experience. She helps people who are overwhelmed by stress, anger, anxiety, depression, or difficult life changes. She also supports those facing workplace strain, substance concerns, grief, and questions of identity and self-worth.

Her sessions aim to be practical and person-centered. She listens first, and then works with each person to set clear goals. Conversations focus on skills people can use between meetings, such as coping steps, thought patterns to notice, and simple mindfulness practices.

Jan combines Cognitive Behavioral Therapy with mindfulness-based approaches to help people manage emotions and reactions. She pays attention to how cultural background and life roles shape feelings and choices. That helps when dealing with multicultural concerns, LGBT issues, or career-related stress.

Clients looking at mood disorders, panic, postpartum depression, ADHD, or bipolar concerns will find direct, experience-informed support. Jan also addresses money and workplace issues, compassion fatigue, and struggles around self-love and relationships. Sessions are aimed at building resilience and clearer daily routines.

She conducts therapy in English and Mandarin. The practice emphasizes collaboration - clients bring the goals and Jan brings tools to try. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions based on therapist availability.

How CBT and Mindfulness Work in Online Therapy

CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and changing small behaviors that keep problems going. It is often used for anxiety, panic, depression, and anger by teaching practical tools and clear steps to try between sessions.

Mindfulness Therapy trains attention and awareness of the present moment. It helps people notice emotional or physical reactions without immediately acting on them, which can reduce reactivity and support self-regulation during stressful moments.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist collaborates with each person to test strategies and tailor methods to goals and preferences. That way the plan can shift if something is not a good fit.

If you are considering online options, confirm the current session formats before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, reduce travel time, or allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. Licensed professionals can use these methods to help you practice skills, review progress, and plan next steps without having to be in the same room.
