Online Therapy for Teens in Connecticut & South Carolina

Several stacks of books placed on a wide window ledge, with sunlight shining through a large window and a view of trees outside.

Being a teenager is hard. Knowing how to help your teen can be hard, too.

School. Friendships. Social pressure. Family expectations. Relationships. Figuring out who you are while everyone seems to have an opinion about it.

Sometimes it's difficult to tell what's typical teenage stress—and when your teen might need a little more support.

I provide online therapy for teens ages 15+ in Connecticut and South Carolina struggling with anxiety, ADHD, OCD, confidence, eating and body-image concerns, stress, and life transitions.

Evidence-Based & Compassionate Care

  • Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

    CBT helps teens understand the connection between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. Teens learn how to recognize unhelpful thinking patterns, manage anxiety, improve mood, and build healthier coping skills they can use at school, at home, and in social situations.

  • Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT)

    ACT supports teens in learning how to manage difficult thoughts and emotions without feeling controlled by them. This approach helps teens clarify their values, build emotional flexibility, and take meaningful action even when things feel uncomfortable.

  • Skills-Based Therapy

    Skills-based work focuses on building practical tools for everyday challenges. This may include emotional regulation, communication skills, stress management, organization, and executive functioning strategies — especially helpful for teens with ADHD or school-related stress.

  • Strengths-Based Approach

    Rather than focusing only on challenges, this approach highlights your teen’s strengths, resilience, and abilities. Therapy builds confidence by helping teens recognize what they’re already doing well while supporting growth in areas that feel harder.

Does This Sound Familiar?

Maybe your teen...

Overthinks everything.

Seems overwhelmed by school or constantly worries about falling behind.

Procrastinates until assignments become a crisis.

Struggles with organization, motivation, or time management.

Has become more withdrawn, irritable, or emotional.

Is struggling with friendships or relationships.

Is hard on themselves or never feels "good enough."

Seems anxious about their future.

Or maybe they tell you...

"I'm fine."

...but something tells you they're not quite themselves.

Therapy can give your teen a space that's theirs while helping them build skills to navigate what's going on.

Anxiety & Overthinking

"What if I mess this up?"

"What if they don't like me?"

"What if something bad happens?"

Teen anxiety can show up as overthinking, reassurance seeking, perfectionism, avoidance, irritability, physical symptoms, or constantly worrying about school, relationships, and the future.

We'll work on understanding anxiety and developing healthier ways to respond when it shows up.

ADHD & Executive Functioning

Sometimes what looks like "not trying" is actually a teen who doesn't know where to start.

ADHD and executive functioning challenges can make everyday responsibilities feel much harder.

We can work on:

Procrastination • Task initiation • Organization • Time management • Motivation • Routines • Emotional regulation • School overwhelm

The goal isn't perfect organization.

It's helping your teen discover strategies that work for their brain.

More Than School Stress

Teenagers are navigating much more than academics.

Therapy can also provide support with:

Friendships & relationships | Self-esteem & confidence | Body image | Family relationships | Boundaries & communication | Identity | Perfectionism | Stress & burnout |Preparing for college and adulthood

Sometimes having a neutral person to talk to makes it easier to say the things that feel difficult to say anywhere else.

What Therapy With Me Looks Like

Therapy shouldn't feel like another adult telling your teen what they're doing wrong.

My approach is supportive, collaborative, and practical.

We'll build trust first, then work together to understand what's going on and develop skills your teen can actually use outside of sessions.

Depending on their needs, I incorporate evidence-based approaches including CBT, ACT, mindfulness, and practical executive functioning strategies.

The goal is for your teen to feel heard, respected, and more confident navigating life.

What About Parents?

You matter in this process, too.

Therapy provides teens with a confidential space where they can feel comfortable opening up, while parents remain appropriately involved in treatment.

Parent check-ins may focus on overall progress, general themes, ways to support skills at home, and concerns that may affect treatment.

The goal is to create a balance between protecting your teen's trust and keeping you appropriately involved in their care.
