The go-to approach for helping people in teen counseling is to build rapport, learn about the environments they spend time in, and understand their interests and concerns. I find the best benefit is when teenagers have in-person sessions.
The tools that can be used in teen counseling: cognitive behavioral therapy (thought-changing tools to help stop negative self-talk), DBT (helps regulate emotions), mindfulness (helps one stay in the present moment when they have racing thoughts, which helps decrease anxiety).
A client is making meaningful progress in teen counseling when they use the tools learned in sessions and see positive results or resolutions to their issues.
To supplement their time in teen counseling, clients can watch material that is referred by their therapist.
A teen can prepare for their first counseling session by understanding the counselor is there to help them reach their goals.
Teen counseling helps young individuals better understand and manage the challenges that affect their mental health. Common challenges amongst teens include anxiety, depression, ADHD, and problematic relationships with food.
Teen counseling works by using multiple techniques, tailored to fit the teen’s unique needs — based on their age group, their challenges, and the severity of their challenges. It might involve cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, art therapy, and others for varying ages. In any case, Thriveworks teen therapists in West Palm Beach have the expertise and experience to help young individuals at their level.
Signs that teens might need Teen counseling can be very subjective, as they are experiencing many changes and can have intense reactions to them. As parents, you know your child best and are best equipped to judge whether certain reactions are standard behaviors for your teen or whether they might be hinting at a larger problem. Even so, there are a few common signs and events that often point to a need for therapy, such as experiencing divorce or loss, grief, consistent low moods, teens distancing themselves and becoming isolated, losing interest in hobbies, excessive anger or irritability, substance use issues, and suicidal ideation, among others.
Teen counseling providers at Thriveworks in West Palm Beach, FL offer both in person and online therapy by video. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you.
The length of teen counseling depends on your teen’s needs as well as the goals that you and their therapist might have for them. Generally, teen counseling sessions will last for several months.
