Teng Vang

Teng Vang is a California-licensed marriage and family therapist with 20 years of clinical experience. He focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, and life transitions. He aims to meet each person where they are and make starting therapy a manageable step.

He uses straightforward conversation to understand what matters most to each person. Sessions are shaped around the client's goals and daily life. He emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and compassion in their time together.

Teng draws on several therapy approaches to fit different needs. He uses techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy to identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. He also uses acceptance and commitment ideas to help people act in line with their values even when feelings are difficult.

Attachment-based work helps him look at how early relationships affect current patterns. He includes client-centered ways of working, keeping the client's perspective central to the process. Dialectical behavior therapy tools are sometimes used to teach emotion regulation and coping skills.

Teng has experience addressing a wide range of concerns, including relationship strain, addiction, grief, trauma, parenting stress, career issues, ADHD, and LGBT-related concerns. He adapts strategies to fit each person's situation rather than using a one-size-fits-all plan.

Beginning therapy often feels uncertain, and Teng aims to make the first sessions clear and practical. He will collaborate with the client to set goals, try approaches that match their needs, and adjust the plan as progress is made.
