About Jan

Jan Tang is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor who brings 23 years of clinical experience to therapy. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, ADHD, addictions, and career strain. Jan speaks English and Mandarin and practices from New York.

Her sessions are straightforward and focused. She listens closely, helps clarify immediate problems, and then builds simple, practical steps clients can try between meetings. Many people come for help with mood shifts, panic, grief, or workplace difficulties, and she supports concerns related to identity and multicultural stress.

Background and approach

Jan uses approaches that help people change unhelpful thoughts and notice what matters most to them. She combines thought-focused work with mindfulness practices so clients can test new habits and calm overwhelming moments. The emphasis is on skills that are useful in daily life rather than abstract theory.

She pays attention to how culture, money worries, and job pressures shape mental health. Jan also supports those recovering from trauma, coping with anger, or rebuilding self-esteem. Sessions aim to increase practical coping, clearer decision making, and steadier mood over time.

Her style is collaborative and down-to-earth. Jan helps people set realistic goals, track small wins, and adjust steps that feel too hard. The work is paced to each person’s needs so progress feels sustainable.

CBT and Mindfulness adapted for online care

Jan uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and shift unhelpful thoughts and routines. CBT breaks problems into small steps so you can test new ways of thinking and behaving between sessions, helpful for anxiety, panic, and mood concerns.

She also uses Mindfulness Therapy to teach focused attention and breathing practices that reduce reactivity. Mindfulness helps with overwhelm, stress, and improving emotional awareness in day-to-day life.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jan will collaborate with each person to choose which methods to try first and will adjust them based on progress, goals, and preferences. The decision is shared and revisited over time to make sure the plan fits.

Online sessions offer flexibility for busy lives. Video calls allow real-time interaction and visual cues, phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier on the go, and live chat or text messaging provide shorter check-ins or between-session support. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work breaks, commutes, or differing schedules while still working with a licensed professional.
