About Teng
Teng Vang is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) practicing in California with 20 years of professional experience. He helps people who are dealing with anxiety, stress, low self-esteem, depression, and motivation challenges.

Background and approach
Teng focuses on practical steps you can try between sessions, while also listening to how life events are affecting your day-to-day wellbeing. His work draws on several evidence-based methods, but the main goal is to find what helps you feel steadier and more in control. Many people come to him for help with parenting struggles, grief, addiction concerns, or work-related stress.
He pays attention to patterns that started in earlier relationships and how they show up now. Teng emphasizes collaboration. He and the person he’s working with set goals together and adjust the plan as needed.
Sessions can include skill-building, problem solving, or simply a space to sort through overwhelming feelings. If you’re nervous about starting therapy, he acknowledges that first step can take courage. He invites people to begin at their own pace and will tailor the pace and focus to each individual’s situation.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying values and taking small committed steps toward them while learning to sit with difficult thoughts and feelings. It can help with anxiety, depression, and motivation problems by shifting attention to actions that matter. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns from earlier relationships and how they influence current bonds and reactions; it can be useful for intimacy issues, parenting concerns, and communication problems. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and teaches concrete skills for managing mood, sleep, and stress.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Teng aims to figure out what fits through conversation and collaboration. He will discuss options, try strategies, and adjust plans based on your goals and what actually helps in daily life.
Online therapy offers flexibility in how you connect. Video calls let you work face to face when a longer session is needed. Phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth or being on camera is a problem. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for shorter check-ins, practicing skills between sessions, or when you need to write through thoughts. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving, or busy schedules while still using the therapeutic approaches above.
