For children, individual therapy often involves play-based techniques, art, or other creative activities that allow them to explore emotions and communicate in ways that feel natural to them. These activities help children process their feelings, build coping skills, and develop emotional regulation in a way that is developmentally appropriate.
Adolescent therapy, on the other hand, may engage in more traditional talk therapy but can also benefit from interactive and engaging methods like journaling, role-playing, or digital tools to help them express themselves. Therapy for teens often focuses on addressing issues such as anxiety, depression, self-esteem, peer relationships, family dynamics, and identity development, while also promoting healthy coping strategies and decision-making skills.
For both age groups, the therapist may also work with parents or caregivers to provide guidance and support in creating a nurturing home environment that reinforces the work done in therapy.
