Online Child Anxiety Therapist for Kids and Teens in Illinois and Florida

You’re a good parent who loves their child unconditionally. In fact, you're present, encouraging, and a wonderful source of support. And yet, you still see your anxious kid and teen struggle with anxiety.

You have consulted with your pediatrician, read the books, and talked to friends, but nothing is working. Right now, you need an expert online child anxiety therapist who not only knows how to help your child find relief, but who can also help them step confidently into the future they want to create.

Are you a little nervous about finding an online child anxiety therapist in Illinois or Florida for your child?

It can feel scary or even awkward for your child to begin online anxiety counseling. Rest assured, I know how to put your child at ease, no matter their age. The online therapy process is warm and inviting and even fun. I create an atmosphere where your child begins to notice just how truly strong and capable they are in overcoming life’s obstacles including anxiety symptoms.

As an online child anxiety therapist in Illinois & Florida as well as fellow parent, I understand.

Your child can find joy again. Working with an online child anxiety therapist in Illinois or Florida can provide a safe and nurturing space for them to explore their fears and how to overcome them. In place of anxiety, greater confidence begins to emerge as does the motivation and momentum towards change.

As an online child anxiety therapist with a friendly and down-to-earth approach, I help kids and teens create change so they can live with more hope. When your child is taught to recognize and put to use the skills, resources, and talents they already possess, change happens naturally and life becomes so much better.

What's it like for your child to work with me as their online therapist?

I believe in your child. In fact, I believe kids and teens have amazing strength and resilience; that everyone has the capacity for change and growth, and that it can happen quickly.

Using Solution Focused Brief Therapy, I tap into the motivation of each child I work with. This is because I know that the pull of what your child wants (e.g., happiness, confidence, etc.) is often a lot stronger than the push away from what they don’t want (e.g., anxiety).

From the very first session, I see your child as someone who is able to answer any question I ask and to know exactly where it is they want to go. And I absolutely believe in their ability, and competence to change.

My favorite part about being an online child anxiety therapist in IL and FL?

I get to watch anxious kids and teens:

• become heroes in a story in which they used to view themselves as victims.
• experience passionate versus critical versions of themselves.
• overcome their challenges, reclaim their lives and make meaningful changes.
