About Jan

Jan Tang is a New York LMHC with 23 years of clinical experience. She works with adults on common and complex concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, anger, addictions, workplace issues, and grief. Sessions are offered in English and Mandarin.

Jan focuses on practical strategies people can use day to day. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and mindfulness methods to help people notice patterns, change unhelpful thoughts, and practice calmer responses. Meetings emphasize clear steps and short-term skills as well as longer-term planning when needed.

She has a history of helping people facing mood disorders, bipolar concerns, postpartum depression, and panic attacks. Jan also supports people navigating career transitions, financial stress, and multicultural issues. She pays particular attention to LGBT concerns while listening for how culture and identity shape problems.

In sessions she uses straightforward tools to manage anger, reduce overwhelm, and improve workplace functioning. That might include looking at thought patterns that fuel irritation, learning grounding and breathing techniques, and rehearsing different ways to respond in tense moments. Progress often comes from practicing small changes between meetings.

Her approach mixes short-term behavioral work with mindful awareness. Jan helps clients set realistic goals and track what helps or gets in the way. To begin, users are asked to complete a brief matching questionnaire and then schedule an initial session through the site.

How sessions work

CBT and Mindfulness approaches for online work

Jan uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot the thoughts and beliefs that keep anger and anxiety active. CBT sessions include identifying triggers, testing unhelpful thoughts, and practicing new responses that reduce emotional reactivity. This approach is helpful for workplace stress, panic symptoms, and low mood.

She also draws on Mindfulness Therapy to build present-moment awareness and reduce automatic reactions. Mindfulness exercises focus on breathing, body awareness, and noticing urges without acting on them. These skills can make it easier to pause before snapping or escalating a conflict.

Finding the right mix of methods is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences, try approaches in early sessions, and adapt the plan based on what works. Clients and the therapist decide together whether to focus more on skills, on mindfulness practice, or on both.

Confirm current session options before booking since formats are not specified in the biography. Online work can help fit therapy into a busy life by reducing travel, allowing shorter check-ins during a lunch break, or making scheduling across time zones simpler. Many people find practicing CBT exercises and mindfulness between sessions easier when therapy fits into their regular routine.
