Hi, I'm Rhea Huggins, a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC). I believe meaningful change begins when you feel genuinely seen and understood. My approach is warm, collaborative, and authentic. I work with adults navigating anxiety, depression, life transitions, low self-esteem, relationship challenges, stress, and difficult life experiences. Many feel overwhelmed or disconnected and want to understand their emotions better, develop healthier coping strategies, build confidence, and strengthen relationships. Together, we'll work at a pace that feels right for you while building practical skills and fostering meaningful change.
I tailor therapy to each person's unique needs, drawing from evidence-based approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and person-centered therapy. Together, we'll identify unhelpful patterns, build on your strengths, and develop practical tools to help you navigate life's challenges with greater confidence.
Reaching out for support can feel like one of the hardest steps, and it takes courage to begin. Whatever brings you to therapy, you don't have to navigate it alone. I would be honored to support you on your journey, and I look forward to helping you create meaningful, lasting change when you're ready to take that first step.
You deserve dedicated time with a mental health professional — it can be life-changing.

I enjoy teen counseling because I love building a therapeutic alliance that provides them a space to feel heard, understood, and validated.
I utilize CBT strategies for managing life transitions, communication skills for helping with the parent/child relationship, and self-care/coping strategies for managing daily stressors.
I know a client is making meaningful progress when they can trust the therapy space enough to be honest and transparent about what is going on personally.
Clients can supplement their time with reading, outdoor time (walks/sports), guided meditation videos, and time with healthy friendships.
To prepare for the session, they can create a list of the things that are feeling overwhelming or difficult for them and come ready to begin processing through those things slowly over the weeks!
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 Worcester 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 Worcester, MA 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.
Includes individual, couples, child/ teen, & family therapy
Includes reducing symptoms with medication & management
