What is your go-to approach for teen counseling?

My go-to approach for teen counseling is solution-focused brief therapy. Depending on the teen, I may use creative methods such as art and games. I prefer solution-focused brief therapy because, with solution-focused brief therapy, teens are asked to draw on their past successes, strengths, and resources to create their desired future. I appreciate the respect this method has for clients — that it is non-judgmental and compassionate. I have also seen the effectiveness of a positive approach to teen counseling. Working with parents is also an important part of any counseling with a teenager.

What tools do you teach in teen counseling?

In teen counseling with solution-focused brief therapy, I help you develop tools and skills based on your current strengths that you can use moving forward. These tools and skills may help you change harmful behaviors, achieve your life goals, and manage difficult situations.

How do you know when a client is making meaningful progress in teen counseling?

I know a client is making meaningful progress in teen counseling when they see themselves as capable, strong, and wise. A client also is making meaningful progress when they can see a way toward their goals. Most of all, I know a client is making meaningful progress in individual therapy when they are experiencing hope and optimism.

What can clients do in their personal time to supplement teen counseling?

Clients can supplement their time in teen counseling by keeping an eye out for when their problems are less present or gone altogether. The client can then identify what is different about these times, and do more of what is already working. My favorite homework is that which we create/decide on together.

What should someone do to prepare for starting teen counseling?

To prepare for your first teen counseling session, parents should be sure to have the informed consent signed by both parents and provide the therapist a copy of any custody agreement if there is one. Teens and parents can reflect on this: From the time you set up this visit to today, what have you noticed that’s already slightly improving? If you have done therapy before, what worked best for you? Teens and parents can also think about your goals for therapy. What would you like to be different in your/your teen's life as a result of the therapy? Don't forget to bring a list of your/your teen's current medications.

Starting Teen counseling

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 Maitland 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 Maitland, FL 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.
