About Tanay
Tanay Hudson is a licensed social worker who focuses on practical, skills-based therapy. She uses clear, structured methods to help people manage stress, anxiety, mood concerns, and life transitions. Tanay holds an LCSW and practices in New York.
She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thinking patterns and try different responses. Sessions typically include talking through recent problems, testing small changes, and building everyday coping skills.
Background and approach
This approach is useful for anxiety, panic, low mood, and repetitive negative thoughts. Her work also addresses trauma and abuse, grief, caregiver strain, and compassion fatigue. Tanay supports people dealing with relationship strain, parenting stress, career questions, and challenges common to young adults and women.
She pays attention to body image, guilt, and social anxiety as well. Over 11 years she has worked with people who face mood disorders, bipolar concerns, and seasonal affective symptoms. She helps with problem-solving and practical steps for managing panic attacks and intense emotions.
The focus is on clear, doable strategies rather than abstract theory. In session she aims to create an open, nonjudgmental space where feelings and thoughts can be discussed. People can expect straightforward guidance, goal-setting, and homework that fits life demands.
Taking the first step to reach out is acknowledged as a meaningful move toward change.
CBT and Practical Support Online
Tanay uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which helps people spot unhelpful thoughts and try different actions to change how they feel. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, panic attacks, and problems like negative self-talk or low motivation.Sessions focus on concrete skills. That might include short experiments between sessions, tracking thoughts and moods, or practicing breathing and exposure steps for panic and social fears. These methods aim to make daily challenges more manageable and to reduce distress over time.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to decide whether CBT or a different focus fits their goals and preferences. Treatment plans are adjusted as needs change and progress is reviewed together.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text messaging. Video lets the clinician and client work face-to-face from different locations, phone can be useful when bandwidth is limited, and messaging or chat suits quick check-ins or ongoing support between appointments. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules and to continue care when in-person visits are not practical.
