SUPPORTING YOUNG MINDS THROUGH BIG EMOTIONS

Anxiety and Depression Therapy for kids and teens in Dallas, GA

Even without words, they are always communicating


Children and teens may not always have the words to describe what they’re feeling—but that doesn’t mean they aren’t hurting. Anxiety and depression are some of the most common mental health challenges young people face today, and they often show up in ways that look like withdrawal, irritability, changes in behavior, or physical complaints.

At My Precious Counseling, we specialize in helping children and adolescents navigate these big emotions with compassion, tools, and a space to feel truly understood.

You’re ready to make sense
of what you’re feeling

Signs of Anxiety or Depression in Kids & Teens:

  • Frequent worries, fears, or panic attacks

  • Changes in sleep, appetite, or energy

  • Irritability, anger outbursts, or mood swings

  • Avoidance of school, social settings, or activities they once enjoyed

  • Low self-esteem or feelings of worthlessness

  • Trouble focusing or completing tasks

  • Physical symptoms like headaches or stomachaches

These symptoms aren’t “just a phase.” They’re signs a young person is struggling—and early support can make all the difference.


MY THERAPEUTIC APPROACH

I use an integrative, developmentally sensitive approach to address anxiety and depression in children and teens. Therapy may include:

  • Play-based interventions to help younger children process emotions nonverbally

  • Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to challenge unhelpful thoughts and build coping strategies

  • DBT-informed skills to support emotion regulation and mindfulness

  • Parent support and collaboration to create consistency and connection at home

  • Psychoeducation to help youth understand what they’re experiencing and feel less alone

Above all, I create a safe, judgment-free environment where children and teens feel heard, validated, and empowered to grow through what they’re facing.
