Tanay Hudson

Tanay Hudson is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) based in New York with 11 years of experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, mood concerns, and building self-esteem. She aims to create an open space where people can speak honestly about what’s on their mind.

She uses straightforward, practical approaches to help people manage symptoms and find clearer next steps. Sessions often focus on recognizing unhelpful thinking patterns, practicing skills that reduce anxiety, and setting realistic goals for change. Tanay emphasizes small, steady progress rather than quick fixes.

Her background includes a decade-plus of working directly with adults on issues like depression, panic, grief, and challenges around career and caregiving. She also supports people dealing with body image concerns, communication problems, guilt and shame, and women’s issues. In sessions she pays attention to how daily routines and relationships affect mood and behavior.

Therapy sessions typically include talking through recent events, learning concrete strategies, and trying out new ways of coping between meetings. She encourages people to bring current struggles and practical questions to each session so they can work on what matters most right now.

Starting therapy can feel hard, and she acknowledges that step. Tanay invites people to take a small next step toward better daily functioning and clearer thinking about their goals.

How CBT and practical strategies translate to online therapy

Tanay uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new ways of thinking. CBT teaches specific skills to reduce anxiety, panic symptoms, and low mood by changing patterns in thinking and behavior.

Her approach also emphasizes skill practice between sessions. That can include short exercises for coping with panic, tracking mood and triggers, or trying new communication techniques. These tasks are chosen to fit daily life and make small, steady improvements.

Finding the right approach is a team effort. She works with each person to choose strategies that match their goals, needs, and preferences. Sessions are collaborative so that techniques are practical and workable for the individual's routine.

Session formats are not specified in the original biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow faster check-ins when practice or coaching between meetings is helpful. Talk with the therapist about how you want to use sessions so they fit your day-to-day life.
