Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.

Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

Jan is wonderful! I highly recommend her for trauma informed therapy as well as helping manage my day-to-day. She’s patient and informed. She regularly checks in and holds me accountable to myself. I feel safe sharing with her and entrusting my vulnerable, healing self in her care.

Jan Tang is an amazing therapist. She is kind, empathetic, and truly creates a safe and welcoming space for healing and growth. As a culturally-competent practitioner bilingual in English and Mandarin Chinese, Jan brings a deep understanding of the complexities that come with being Asian American, which has been invaluable in my journey. Jan has helped me through some of my most challenging moments, including personal loss, grief, family dysfunction, friendships, and unrequited love. Her approach is always grounded in unconditional positive regard, and she listens with genuine care and understanding. I have felt consistently supported in every session, and her insights have helped me gain clarity and perspective. If you are looking for a therapist who is compassionate, culturally-aware, and deeply committed to your well-being, I highly recommend Jan.

Kind, funny, great listener, and provides great solutions that works with my needa

Reviewed July 2024

In my very first therapy session, I noticed that I was incorrectly applying what I viewed as a sense of “strong self-awareness” in a way of thinking that I knew how to lead the conversation, but Jan allowed space for me to redirect it back to the actual professional. She has allowed me to be raw and honest while gently reassuring that some aspects in my life needed shifting. In today’s session, she ended with telling me she was proud of me and that truly was something I needed to hear. Jan is kind and felt like someone I’ve known for a long time from our first meeting. Thank you for your gentle care and guidance, Jan!

I was skeptical about therapy in general, but Jan made me a believer. She is incredibly kind and patient and helpful. No matter how YOU look at something, she can help you look at it differently if that’s what needs to happen. She is a calming presence in my life- and you can tell that she really cares about her patients.

I’m so glad I got matched with Jan. I really feel like she hears me and puts me at ease in a way many therapists have not. She sends me helpful links to address my problems that can empower me.

Reviewed August 2023

Jan is so fantastic! She gives me feedback and the attention I need to get through all the things I’m going through. She gives me just the right amount of homework to get things going but not too much where I feel like it’s homework. It’s actually worksheets and articles that really help me.

Reviewed June 2023

Jan is extremely professional and knowledgeable. She is engaging and interactive during our video calls and allows me to work through the issues I am struggling with and, when possible, allowing me to realize the root and damage created by my problem. If I arrive at the correct realization she reinforces my understanding. If I have trouble coming to that realization she continues to make thoughtful inquiries that help me to see what I am missing. Everything is done with a positive flow and direction. That being said, I can see where we are successful bcoz I am seeking a real answer after several previous attempts at solutions with other faith-based counselors. Jan is genuinely wanting to see progress. I am not sure every patient are as ready for an answer, especially if it involves the need for real change in their life. Less mature patients might not be as receptive to her expectation for change and improvement.
