Online Therapy For Children
Understanding Your Child's Needs
Recent years have bought many global challenges that have had significant impacts on the everyday lives of children, as well as adults. Children express their emotions differently than adults and teens, but you may have noticed new behaviors or “acting out” at home.
These behaviors are a normal reaction to stress and trauma, and it’s important for children to have a compassionate, caring adult to help them process their “big emotions.”
Taking that first step is always the hardest, but every journey of 1000 miles always begins with one first step.
Our Online Counseling for Children in Ohio
Online therapy for children at REACH is designed to help your child connect to their feelings and cope with uncertainty in positive ways. You may notice that your child is:
- Withdrawn, tearful, and uninterested in activities they used to enjoy
- Defiant, angry, or destructive
- Experiencing new fears or anxieties, like a fear of germs or going outside
- Regressing and engaging in behaviors that seem more appropriate for a younger child
- Unfocused and having difficulty in school
- Having issues with attachment or a new fear of abandonment
You may also sense that your child is struggling in ways that are difficult to define. These behaviors are how children process emotional distress, and it’s important to address them as what they are: mental wellness challenges.
Our Approach to Online Counseling
REACH online counseling for kids is designed for children ages 4-12 who need kind, caring, kid-friendly support. You know your child best, and you are their most important advocate. While it may seem overwhelming to reach out for help, your child needs you to access REACH’s compassionate online therapy for children – and you deserve the peace of mindthat comes from knowing they are in excellent hands.

Our counselors know that children are resilient, and they are here to partner with you to unlock your child’s inner strength. Your family needs and deserves this extra support, so you can focus on connecting and thriving during family time rather than redirecting negative behaviors.
