Supporting Emotional Wellness from Home
Children and teens today face a range of emotional challenges, from anxiety and low self-esteem to academic stress and family transitions. Virtual therapy gives them a safe, familiar space to talk, feel heard, and learn tools to manage what they’re going through. To keep sessions engaging, I use interactive strategies like emotion-based games, drawing, and storytelling. These playful activities help kids express themselves while learning to recognize and challenge unhelpful thoughts like negative self-talk. Together, we build healthy coping skills they can use in daily life—whether it’s calming test anxiety or expressing their feelings more clearly at home.

A Counselor Who Understands Kids
With over fifteen years working with kids, eight years of it as a public school counselor and now as a licensed professional counselor (LPC), I specialize in working with children and teens in a way that meets kids where they are, while helping them grow. I use a blend of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help kids understand how their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors are connected, and Solution-Focused Therapy to identify small, achievable steps toward their goals. Whether your child is struggling with anxiety, depression, peer issues, or family stress, I offer support that’s age-appropriate and strengths-based—helping them feel more in control and confident in themselves.

Tips for When Your Child or Teen Is Struggling with Mental Health
Supporting your child’s emotional well-being can feel overwhelming at times, but you don’t have to do it alone. One of the most powerful things you can do is simply listen—without trying to fix everything. Just being present and showing that you care can make a big difference. Keeping consistent routines around sleep, meals, and downtime also creates a sense of safety and predictability, which is especially helpful during stressful times. Try to normalize conversations about emotions by sharing your own in simple ways; this shows your child that it’s okay to talk about feelings. Pay attention to changes in mood or behavior, even if they aren’t saying much—things like irritability, withdrawal, or trouble sleeping may be signs they’re struggling. Most importantly, you don’t have to wait for things to reach a breaking point to get help. Virtual therapy can give children and teens the tools they need to feel more confident, resilient, and in control of their emotions.
