Helping Your Anxious Child Thrive
It’s been a hard day, hasn’t it? Watching your child struggle with anxiety is exhausting. You’ve tried reassuring them, helping them problem-solve, and even setting boundaries, but nothing seems to stick. You’re exhausted, and your child feels stuck.
Anxiety can show up in many ways:
- Struggles with perfectionism, procrastination, or academic stress.
- Fears, phobias, or excessive worry that interfere with daily life.
- Avoiding social situations or melting down over the smallest things.
At Briefly Counseling, PLLC, I offer a unique approach that delivers quick, practical strategies that work in real life. I’m Helena Madsen, LCPC, a Solution Focused Brief Therapist in Chicago. I specialize in helping kids and teens ages 7-18 learn powerful skills to overcome anxiety, fear, and stress—giving them back their confidence and joy.
Solution Focused Brief Therapy for Faster Results
Solution Focused Brief Therapy is an empowering approach that focuses on what’s already working in your child’s life and builds on those strengths. It’s specifically designed to bring out the skills, resources, and resilience within each child.
Therapy isn’t about “fixing” kids; it’s about equipping them with practical tools and strategies to navigate challenges on their own terms.
With anxiety, kids often feel trapped by worries they can’t control. Solution Focused Brief Therapy shows them how to shift their attention from what’s holding them back to what they can achieve. This approach has been shown to reduce anxiety quickly, with visible results in just 6-8 sessions.
Parenting Support That Matters
Your involvement is key to your child’s progress, and I’m here to support you, too. Through the course of therapy, I’ll guide you on practical steps you can take at home to reinforce what we’re working on in sessions. You’ll be provided with tools and techniques to cultivate a peaceful and nurturing home atmosphere, enabling your child to feel secure and confident in addressing their anxieties.
Picture a Life Free of Anxiety
Imagine a life where your child feels confident tackling challenges and can go to bed without worries holding them back. Through Solution Focused Brief Therapy, I can help your child step into a life filled with resilience, joy, and the self-belief they need to reach their potential. This therapy isn’t just about treating symptoms; it’s about helping your child gain skills that will serve them for life.
