About Tanay
Tanay Hudson is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in New York with 11 years of experience. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, career challenges, depression, relationship strain, grief, parenting pressures, and anger.
She focuses on clear, practical conversations. Sessions look at patterns of thought and behavior that keep problems going. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which means she helps clients notice unhelpful thinking and try different actions to see what changes.
Tanay aims to make the work straightforward. She listens, asks direct questions, and lays out small steps a person can try between sessions. That might include experiments to test a belief, short breathing practices for panic, or plans to address work stress without making life harder.
Her background includes many settings where people face high stress and trauma. She draws on that experience when a client is coping with grief, caregiver strain, or mood shifts such as bipolar disorder. She also supports people handling communication problems, body image concerns, guilt, and seasonal mood changes.
Sessions are practical and goal-focused. Tanay helps clients set clear, realistic aims and checks progress together. If someone wants help managing anger, she will look at triggers, immediate responses, and safer ways to express frustration while keeping important relationships intact.
How CBT translates to online sessions
CBT focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. Online sessions with this approach typically involve identifying unhelpful thought patterns, testing those thoughts with real-life experiments, and practicing behavior changes between meetings. This can help with anxiety, mood problems, anger, and stress related to work or parenting.Sessions also include skills for immediate symptoms such as panic or strong emotional reactions. These are brief, practical tools to use when someone feels overwhelmed. The therapist reviews how these techniques worked and adjusts them in collaboration with the client based on goals and daily life demands.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, try CBT techniques, and adapt the plan if something doesn’t fit. That collaborative process helps match methods to what is actually happening in the person’s life.
The profile does not list specific session formats here, so confirm current options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. Licensed professionals can use this flexibility to focus on concrete steps the client can practice between meetings.
