About Jan

Jan Tang is a licensed mental health counselor with 23 years of experience based in New York. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, addiction concerns, and workplace problems. Jan also supports those coping with trauma, grief, bipolar mood changes, and issues related to identity and self-esteem. She lists money and financial issues among her focus areas and addresses practical pressures that money problems create.

Jan uses clear, straightforward conversations to figure out what matters most to each person. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and mindfulness practices to help clients notice unhelpful patterns and try different ways of responding. Sessions emphasize practical tools for day-to-day living rather than technical jargon.

Her style is culturally responsive and attentive to how background shapes experience. She pays attention to multicultural concerns and to challenges faced by LGBTQ people without making assumptions. Jan aims to create an open, respectful space where people can name what’s hard and build realistic plans.

With many years in clinical work, she offers grounded help for career transitions, burnout, compassion fatigue, and postpartum mood shifts. She also supports people dealing with panic, ADHD, and relationship stress. Jan combines short-term skills training with longer-term work when needed.

Sessions are conducted in English and Mandarin. To begin, people use the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule based on the therapist’s availability. The service uses a cancellable subscription for sessions, and cost varies by location and availability.

How CBT and Mindfulness Guide Online Sessions

Jan uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and test small behavior changes. CBT often involves setting concrete goals and practicing new responses to stress, anxiety, panic, or mood changes.

She also uses Mindfulness Therapy to teach simple awareness skills. Mindfulness helps people notice bodily sensations, emotions, and thoughts without immediately reacting, which can reduce reactivity and support clearer choices in tense moments.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Jan will collaborate with each person to pick methods that match their goals and daily life. She combines skills practice, short experiments, and ongoing reflection so plans can be adjusted as needs change.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make sessions easier to fit into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It can also help when someone prefers not to be on camera or needs a lower-bandwidth option, depending on the available formats.
