About Tanay

Tanay Hudson is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in New York who draws on over a decade of professional experience to support people facing stress, anxiety, trauma, and mood challenges.

Background and approach

She centers Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) in her work, helping clients identify patterns of thinking and behavior that contribute to depression, panic, low self-esteem, and difficulty coping with life changes. Her approach emphasizes practical skills alongside reflective exploration to build clearer thinking and more effective coping strategies.

Clients can expect a warm, nonjudgmental atmosphere where concerns about relationships, career pressures, grief, parenting, and compassion fatigue are addressed with both empathy and structure. Additional areas of focus include body image, caregiver stress, communication problems, seasonal mood shifts, and women's issues.

Tanay values collaboration and encourages active participation in setting goals and tracking progress so each person leaves sessions with concrete tools to manage symptoms and pursue meaningful change.

CBT-informed Online Therapy for Practical Change

Tanay uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) as a core method online, helping clients learn to identify distorted thinking, test unhelpful beliefs, and develop alternative responses that reduce anxiety and depressive symptoms. CBT is especially useful for addressing panic, social anxiety, mood disorders, and difficulties with self esteem by teaching concrete skills clients can apply between sessions.

Her online work emphasizes collaborative planning; she and the client explore which techniques and goals feel most relevant and adjust the approach as progress unfolds. This partnership helps tailor interventions to individual needs, whether the focus is grief, career stress, trauma recovery, or improving communication and self-care practices.

Offering video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, the online format provides flexibility for people balancing work, caregiving, or unpredictable schedules. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care and practice new skills in real time, while allowing therapists to use structured CBT tools in formats that suit each client's routine and preferences.
