Your Teen Can Find Relief From Stress And Anxiety
Therapy for Teens, in person or online.
Support for the tough stuff — and the stuff that’s hard to talk about.
Being a teen today isn’t easy. Between school pressure, social dynamics, family expectations, and a constant stream of online comparisons, it’s normal to feel overwhelmed — or like you’re barely keeping it together. Anxiety, stress, sadness, or just a sense that something’s not quite right can show up in all kinds of ways, from mood swings and panic attacks to perfectionism or shutting down completely.
At Light On Anxiety, our therapists help teens feel heard, supported, and empowered. This isn’t about judgment or lectures. It’s about giving you a space where you can be real, explore what’s going on, and find tools that actually help you feel better.
What We Can Work On in Teen Therapy:
Anxiety & Panic Attacks
Social Anxiety & Self-Esteem Issues
Academic Pressure & Perfectionism

Family-Based Support For Your Teen
We know that trust matters. That’s why we prioritize building a relationship where teens feel safe to talk without being talked down to. Our therapists bring warmth, humor, honesty, and a deep respect for your experience. We’re here to walk alongside you — not tell you who to be.
And we work with parents too, helping them support their teen while also setting healthy boundaries and expectations. It’s about healing together — while still giving teens the autonomy they need.
You Don’t Have to Do it Alone
Therapy should be more than just a place to vent. It should be a space where you can grow, heal, and actually feel the weight start to lift.
At Light On Anxiety, we’re here to help you sort through the noise, manage the pressure, and become the version of you that feels calm, confident, and in control.
Let’s Talk. No Pressure. No Judgment. Just Support.
If you’re a teen struggling to feel okay — or a parent worried about your teen’s mental health — Light On Anxiety is here to help. You don’t have to wait for things to get worse. Let’s start working toward relief, confidence, and a lighter way forward, one step at a time.
Reach out today. Your story matters — and support is just a call or click away.
What to Expect in Therapy
Being a teen comes with a lot — pressure, change, and figuring out who you are. You don’t have to navigate it alone. Here are some of the ways we can help teens:
CBT for Teenage Challenges
Our team is trained in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and other evidence-based treatments that actually work. That means we don’t just talk about feelings — we teach you how to manage them.
Emotion Regulation Skills
Borrowed from Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), these tools help teens recognize what they are feeling, cope with big emotions without acting impulsively, and use calming strategies like breathwork.
Medication Support
For some teens, anxiety or mood challenges have a biological component that may benefit from psychiatric medication coordinated with your therapist.
On-Demand & Group Services
Life doesn’t always wait for weekly therapy. We offer flexible options so you can get the help you need, when you need it.
Success Stories
At Light On Anxiety, therapy isn’t about staying stuck in what’s hard — it’s about helping you move forward. Whether you’re feeling overwhelmed, anxious, shut down, or just not like yourself lately, we’re here to help you untangle what’s going on and start feeling more in control.
Our therapists offer real support and practical tools to help you build confidence, manage stress, and reconnect with the version of yourself you actually want to be — not someday, but starting now.
