About Teng

Teng Vang is a licensed marriage and family therapist who brings two decades of clinical experience to his work in California. He focuses on challenges such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and intimacy concerns, self-esteem and motivation, and coping with life changes.

Background and approach

With experience across a wide range of areas including addiction, grief, trauma, ADHD, and LGBT-related issues, he adapts his approach to the needs each person brings. Known for practicing with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, he aims to create conversations and plans that fit clients' individual circumstances.

Teng relies on evidence-informed methods to help people build coping skills, strengthen communication, and clarify values and goals. He frames therapy as a collaborative process and supports clients through transitions, loss, and emotional regulation struggles.

Teng emphasizes practical steps alongside emotional insight, tailoring dialogue and interventions to what will be most useful for each person. He recognizes that starting therapy takes courage and welcomes people who are ready to explore change, whether they are addressing day-to-day stressors or deeper life shifts.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients clarify personal values and practice small, values-driven actions while learning to relate differently to difficult thoughts and emotions; it can be useful for stress, anxiety, and motivation challenges. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and adjusting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors through practical exercises and skill-building, which often helps with depression, anxiety, and sleep or eating concerns. Attachment-Based Therapy explores patterns in relationships and early bonds to improve connection and communication in current relationships.

Finding the right approach is part of the work, and the therapist treats this as a collaborative process. He will discuss options, listen to a client's goals and preferences, and adapt techniques from different approaches to create a plan that feels fitting and doable for the client's life and needs.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for scheduling and continuity of care. These options make it easier to access consistent support around work or family obligations and to practice skills between sessions using communication methods that suit each person.
