What is Teen Anxiety?

Teen anxiety goes beyond occasional nervousness or stress. It may show up as:

  • Persistent worry or fear
  • Trouble sleeping or concentrating
  • Avoiding school or social situations
  • Physical symptoms like headaches, stomachaches, or fatigue
  • Irritability or mood swings
  • Perfectionism or fear of failure


Our therapists work closely with teens to identify the root causes of their anxiety and guide them toward healthier thought patterns and behaviors.

Support for Teen Anxiety with Experienced Therapists

Adolescence can be a difficult time filled with change, pressure, and uncertainty. It’s not uncommon for teens to struggle with anxiety, whether it’s social anxiety, generalized anxiety, test anxiety, or anxiety related to trauma or life transitions. At O’Neill Counseling, we provide a safe, supportive space where teens can explore their feelings and begin to heal.

Our Approach to Anxiety Therapy for Teens

Our therapists use evidence-based approaches tailored to meet the unique needs of each teenager. Depending on the teen and their situation, therapy may include:

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT helps teens recognize and reframe anxious thoughts and behaviors. This structured, goal-oriented approach is highly effective in managing symptoms of anxiety.

Mindfulness & Relaxation Techniques

We teach practical tools such as deep breathing, meditation, and grounding exercises to help teens manage stress and stay present.

Family Involvement

Teen anxiety often affects the entire family. We offer guidance for parents and may include family therapy sessions to improve communication and strengthen support systems.

Strength-Based & Compassionate Counseling

We focus on empowering teens to understand their anxiety without shame or judgment—helping them develop emotional insight and greater self-esteem.
