About Tanay

Tanay Hudson is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who uses straightforward, skills-based therapy to help people manage stress and anxiety. She focuses on practical tools so clients can notice changes in daily life. Tanay writes and talks in clear terms and aims to keep sessions easy to follow for busy adults.

Her main method is Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, which looks at thoughts and actions that keep problems going and then tests new ways of responding.

Background and approach

She brings eleven years of professional experience and mixes direct skill teaching with supportive conversation. This helps people who are facing depression, grief, panic, mood shifts, or burnout. Tanay also works with concerns around parenting, relationships, and career stress.

She addresses tough experiences like trauma and compassion fatigue while paying attention to self-esteem, body image, and communication trouble. Practical coping strategies and short-term plans are common parts of her approach. Sessions are offered from New York and are intended to be respectful and nonjudgmental.

Tanay listens first, then helps people set clear goals and small steps toward them. Many clients find this style useful when life feels overwhelming or when a specific problem keeps coming back. She encourages taking a manageable first step toward therapy.

The focus in early meetings is on understanding what matters most to the person and choosing skills that fit their daily routine.

CBT-based care and flexible online sessions

Tanay uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people notice patterns of thinking and behavior that reinforce anxiety, depression, or panic. CBT focuses on clear skills and short experiments that can change how someone reacts to stress or upsetting thoughts.

She emphasizes practical problem solving for issues like stress, mood problems, grief, and parenting challenges. Sessions typically include teaching a skill, practicing it together, and planning small steps to use in daily life. The process is collaborative - she helps clients choose which approaches fit their goals and comfort level.

Online therapy with her includes video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to suit different schedules and needs. These options make it easier to connect from home, between appointments, or while balancing work and family tasks. The aim is to keep care accessible and workable so clients can use what they learn in real time.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.
