About Jan
Jan Tang is a licensed mental health counselor based in New York with 23 years of clinical experience. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, mood disorders, and the emotional fallout from trauma, grief, and life changes.
Background and approach
Her practice also addresses concerns such as workplace stress, money and financial issues, relationship difficulties, ADHD, panic attacks, postpartum depression, and compassion fatigue, with attention to multicultural factors and LGBT-related concerns. Her therapeutic style blends practical skill-building with attentive listening.
She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients identify patterns of thought and behavior that contribute to distress, and integrates mindfulness techniques to bolster present-moment awareness and emotional regulation. Sessions emphasize collaboration, strengths-based planning, and culturally responsive care tailored to each person’s context.
Fluent in English and Mandarin, she offers multiple ways to connect including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Jan works with clients to set clear goals, develop coping strategies, and build resilience so they can make meaningful changes over time.
Evidence-Informed Approaches for Online Support
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors by teaching practical skills such as thought records, behavioral experiments, and structured problem solving; it is commonly used for anxiety, depression, panic, and workplace stress. Mindfulness Therapy emphasizes present-moment awareness and nonjudgmental observation of experience to improve emotional regulation and reduce rumination, which can be helpful for stress, mood disorders, and coping with life transitions.
Determining the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist works with each client to explore goals, preferences, and needs, and will tailor techniques from CBT and mindfulness to fit the person’s situation rather than applying a single method rigidly. Clients and therapist review progress together and adjust strategies as needed.
Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility and accessibility for people juggling work, caregiving, or busy schedules. These formats make it possible to maintain continuity of care, practice skills between meetings, and choose the mode of communication that feels most comfortable while working toward the client’s goals.
