By the time most parents reach out to me, they feel worried, frustrated, overwhelmed, and maybe even…resentful. Perhaps this describes you right now?

You adore your child and can rattle off a long list of things you appreciate about them. They have amazing strengths, skills and talents after all.

But your child can also be anxious and highly emotional which makes them difficult to parent. Meltdowns, anger, and trouble listening to directions are happening all too frequently.

You’re at a loss for what to do. Giving in to situations doesn’t feel right as you know you’re rewarding poor behavior, but you often feel as if you have no choice. Powering up or disciplining your child only seems to make them more angry or emotional.

Sound familiar?

I hear you! Parenting anxious children can be CHALLENGING. The struggle is real, especially when your patience and empathy are wearing thin.

The good news is anxiety in kids and teens is highly treatable.

How Does Online Child Anxiety Counseling at Briefly Counseling Work?

With an average of just 6 – 8 sessions, I help kids and teens reduce anxiety by building skills and strengths so they can approach their fears and challenges with confidence.

I use the clinically researched and evidence-based Solution Focused Brief Therapy approach because it’s so effective.

Zeroing in on your child’s desired outcome for counseling, we work together on what your child wants to achieve.

I understand that change can happen quickly; and because your child’s strengths, skills, and resources already exist, it often takes less time to put them to use in addressing any problem.

In each session, I help your child to:

• Create a clear idea of what confidence looks and feels like.
• Develop assurance that they can do what’s needed.
• Identify evidence of recent successes.
• Recognize the resources they can draw upon to succeed.

Online Child Anxiety Treatment at Briefly Counseling Involves:

• Weekly, 45-minute sessions. For kids and preteens, I plan to spend the last 8-10 minutes checking in one-on-one with you where I can outline your child’s successes, any ongoing challenges, and how you can reinforce their progress between sessions.
• Child-specific Solution Focused Brief Therapy tools and techniques to draw out your child’s existing strengths, skills, and resources.
• Incremental but lasting changes to how your child regulates their emotions with plenty of practice in sessions.
• RELIEF as a parent and knowledge to help your child improve their most important relationship – the one with YOU!
