Therapy for Teens
Telehealth therapy for ages 15 to 17, with the teen as the client and parents or guardians involved.
Who It Is For
Who This Care Is For
Teen therapy is for ages 15 to 17. The teen is the client, and parents or guardians take part in care. Anxiety, school pressure, changing friendships and family conflict can make an ordinary week feel difficult. A teen does not need to have the right words for everything before beginning. The first conversations make room for their perspective as well as questions from the adults involved. Goals are discussed together so therapy is not simply another place where a teen is told what to do.

How We Work
How Care Is Planned
- Anxiety and Stress
- Explore worry and the situations that make it harder to concentrate or rest. CBT and mindfulness-based skills can be discussed in straightforward language.
- School and Routines
- Talk about workload, friendships and expectations. Therapy is not tutoring, but it can address the emotional strain around school and changing routines.
- Family Communication
- Practice explaining needs, listening and disagreeing without escalating. Parents or guardians can join discussions about shared goals and household conflict.
- Boundaries
- Discuss independence, responsibilities and limits that can be communicated clearly. Goals should reflect the teen's experience and the family's practical needs.
Clinicians
Who focuses on this
What Can Shift
Goals You Choose Together
A teen and clinician can choose goals around coping, communication or a specific concern. Parents or guardians can support those goals between sessions. Progress differs for each client and is reviewed rather than promised.
- Naming feelings and asking for support
- Practicing a coping skill outside sessions
- Making family conversations clearer
Sessions
Sessions and Privacy
The first session is a 60-minute intake evaluation. Ongoing individual sessions are 53 minutes by secure video. Choose a private room and a charged device. Discuss parent or guardian check-ins and the time a teen will have to speak individually. The clinician explains privacy, what information may be shared and exceptions required for safety or by law. Privacy does not mean a promise that everything stays secret. Physical location and clinician licensing are confirmed for Florida sessions.
