Parents often consider teen therapy when they notice changes in mood, behavior, or daily functioning. While occasional stress is normal during adolescence, therapy may help if your child/teen:

• Seems withdrawn, anxious, or persistently sad

• Struggles with school, friendships, or family relationships

• Shows increased irritability or emotional outbursts

• Experiences major life changes or stressful events

• Has difficulty coping with pressure or self-esteem concerns

Even without a crisis, working with a child or teen therapist can support healthy emotional development and resilience.

Online kid & teen therapy can support a wide range of challenges, including:

• Anxiety and depression

• Stress and academic pressure

• Social difficulties and peer relationships

• Self-esteem and identity exploration

• Family conflict

• Emotional regulation and coping skills

• Life transitions and adjustment

• And many more

Online therapy provides children and teens with tools to better understand themselves and develop healthier ways to respond to challenges.

During online kid & teen therapy sessions, your child/teen meets with a specialized teen therapist through secure video conferencing. The therapist focuses on building trust and creating a comfortable space where teens feel heard and respected.

Online sessions may include conversation, skill-building activities, and guided reflection tailored to your teen’s age, personality, and goals.

Finding the right teen therapist involves considering experience, therapeutic approach, and personality fit. At Makin Wellness, we help match teens with therapists based on:

• Age and developmental needs

• Presenting concerns

• Communication style and preferences

• Scheduling availability

A strong therapeutic relationship helps teens feel safe and engaged, which is one of the most important factors in successful online kid & teen therapy.
