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.

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.
