My go-to approach for helping people in teen counseling is cognitive behavioral therapy. I prefer CBT because it encourages clients to identify and change negative thinking and behaviors so they can implement more positive thinking and more productive responses.
I teach the following tools in teen therapy
I know a client is making meaningful progress in teen counseling when they are reporting successful management of stress, expressing their needs, and effectively displaying their emotions.
Clients can supplement their time in teen counseling with journaling and meditation. Tools learned in therapy should be applied during time outside of counseling sessions.
To prepare for their first teen counseling session, a teen can make notes about what they want to discuss and goals they have to work on in the session.
