Teen counseling FAQs

What is teen counseling?

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.

How does teen counseling work?

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 Asheville have the expertise and experience to help young individuals at their level.

Does my teen need therapy?

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.

Is teen counseling conducted in person or online?

Teen counseling providers at Thriveworks in Asheville, NC offer both in person and online therapy by video. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you.

How long does teen counseling last?

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.

It was a very good experience! My therapist made me feel very comfortable
Zaria Aug 2026Thriveworks.com verified review
★★★★★
Wendy Krull sees me as a whole person and hears me as the individual that I am and that alone is a good thing. We all need that. Being able to talk things out, the good things as well as my struggles, even how my day to day goes is so helpful. When my life got turned upside down last September 2025, I didn't know how to handle the emotional and physical stress I was dealing with, and nobody understood what I was going through. It became difficult to talk to my family, and I had additional stress from work. Wendy has helped me through it all. The highs the lows, the good days and the difficult days. Wendy is my safe person to talk to without judgement. We all need that for the healing process to begin.

★★★★★
Wendy Krull is my counselor and she is amazing. She's supportive, listens, and genuinely cares about people and it's reflected. I know I'm safe talking with her, regardless of what I'm talking about. She shares insights with me and has taught me techniques in how to relax my body and the positive effects it has on our overall health. The questions she asks me are so simple but yet they make me think and I have to look within myself for the answers and I've surprised myself on what was unlocked that I didn't even realize was still there. She helps me sort through my emotions and make sense of them. She's been a lifeline for me that I didn't know I needed. She's so easy to talk to and I can really share what's going on, past, present and my hopes and fears for the future. Wendy has been able to help me navigate through the health issues I've been dealt and how to overcome and not give up on myself. I've had crying meltdowns a few times and I just don't do that outside of my immediate family, and I'm OK if it happens because she's able to help me work though it when I'm at my lowest point. I've had highs and lows, and she's been with me every step of the way. There's been many times she's told me she was thinking about me during the week and was concerned. That in itself just makes you feel good knowing someone cares and is there to help. I am a better person to be around because I'm not holding all this emotional junk inside. I really look forward to our weekly sessions. Our lives are messy and we all need someone to help us navigate through it and I'm so thankful I have this wonderful lady to help me get through it.

Miranda is a very compassionate, knowledgeable, and empathetic therapist. Therapist. She has helped me already in a very short amount of time to get back to a place of self-love. I have not experienced that in years and I am so grateful.
