About Teng
Teng Vang is a California-licensed marriage and family therapist with 20 years of clinical experience. He focuses on practical steps people can take when stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, or depression get in the way of daily life. He meets clients where they are and adapts sessions to each person’s needs.
Across two decades of work, Teng has helped people handle life changes and cope with grief, trauma, addiction, and relationship struggles.
Background and approach
He brings a calm, respectful approach and listens for what matters most to each person. Conversations are straightforward and focused on what the client wants to achieve. Therapy sessions emphasize skills you can use between meetings.
Teng draws on approaches that help change unhelpful patterns, clarify values, and build stronger emotional connections. He offers tools for managing anger, improving sleep and eating habits, and addressing career or parenting stress. Many clients appreciate a therapist who adjusts pace and style to fit their comfort level.
He aims to create a supportive space where people can name problems and try small experiments to see what helps. Progress is measured by practical changes in daily life rather than labels. Teng works with a wide range of concerns including ADHD, bipolar mood challenges, compassion fatigue, and issues related to aging or caregiving.
He also supports those facing blended family dynamics, divorce, or family-of-origin wounds. If someone wants a steady, solution-minded partner in therapy, he can help map a path forward.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on helping people clarify what matters to them and take small steps toward those values. It is useful for stress, anxiety, and making changes when avoidance gets in the way. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact and teaches concrete strategies to shift unhelpful patterns. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and anger management. Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to how early relationships shape expectations and emotional responses, and it can help with intimacy and relationship struggles.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Teng will work together with each person to choose methods that fit their goals, preferences, and life situation. That might mean mixing techniques from different approaches so sessions are practical and personal.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video is useful for therapy that benefits from face-to-face interaction. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging work well for shorter check-ins, skill practice, and quick support between appointments. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to keep momentum between sessions.
