Real Therapy for Kids & Teens - From the Comfort of Home
At Fresh Breath Therapy, our licensed clinicians bring warm, age-appropriate counseling directly to your child through secure video - no waiting rooms, no after-school commute, no rearranging your whole week. Sessions happen in the place where many kids feel safest: home.
Online therapy is often a perfect fit for this generation. Teens especially tend to open up more readily from their own space, on a format that feels natural to them. Parents can join check-ins easily without leaving work early, and families in smaller towns get access to specialized child and teen therapists who may not practice nearby.
We're honest about fit, too: for some younger children, a therapist may recommend in-person care when that would serve them better. During your free consultation, we'll help you figure out what's right for your child - no pressure either way.

Common Reasons NC Families Seek Therapy for Their Kids
Your child doesn't need to be in crisis to benefit from therapy. Many families reach out simply because their kid seems stuck, stressed, or not quite themselves.
Anxiety & Worry in Kids
Excessive worry, school refusal, separation anxiety, social anxiety, and panic - we teach kids calming skills and help them build the confidence to face their fears.
ADHD & Focus Challenges
Trouble paying attention, impulsivity, and organizational struggles. Therapy builds executive-functioning skills that help kids succeed at school and at home.
Big Emotions & Behavioral Struggles
Meltdowns, defiance, and emotional outbursts. We work with both children and parents to understand what's underneath the behavior and create positive change.
School Stress & Academic Pressure
Test anxiety, perfectionism, burnout, and the pressure to perform - we help students find balance and healthier ways to handle expectations.
Bullying & Social Skills
Friendship struggles, exclusion, and bullying - online or in person. We help kids rebuild confidence and practice skills for healthier peer relationships.
Divorce & Family Changes
Separation, relocation, new siblings, and blended family transitions. We help children make sense of change and feel secure during uncertain times.
Childhood Trauma
Difficult or frightening experiences that a child is still carrying. Our trauma-informed clinicians create a safe, steady space for kids to process and heal.
Grief & Loss
The loss of a loved one, a pet, or a big life change. We help children and teens understand their grief and find ways to carry it without being crushed by it.
Teen Depression & Self-Esteem
Persistent sadness, withdrawal, negative self-talk, and low motivation in teens - we help them reconnect with themselves and rebuild a sense of hope.
Proven Methods, Adapted for Kids, Teens & Video
No single therapy fits every child. Our clinicians are trained in multiple evidence-based approaches and choose what fits your child's age, personality, and goals - delivered thoughtfully through telehealth.
CBT for Kids & Teens
Helps young people spot the unhelpful thought patterns behind anxiety, low mood, and behavior struggles - and practice healthier ways of thinking and responding.
Play-Based Approaches Online
Play therapy techniques adapted for video - games, drawing, and creative activities that help younger kids express what they can't yet put into words.
ACT for Teens
Acceptance & Commitment Therapy helps teens stop fighting their thoughts, clarify what matters to them, and take real steps toward the life they want.
Family-Involved Therapy
Parents are partners in the process. We include caregivers in check-ins and coaching so progress made in session carries into everyday family life.
Attachment-Based Therapy
Explores how a child's closest relationships shape how they feel and behave - strengthening secure, trusting connections at home.
Mindfulness for Kids & Teens
Practical, age-appropriate tools for calming big feelings, managing stress, and staying grounded - skills kids can use at school, at home, and beyond.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does online therapy really work for kids and teens?+
Yes - research consistently shows telehealth therapy is highly effective for most children and adolescents, particularly for anxiety, ADHD, behavioral challenges, and depression. Many kids are actually more relaxed and open in a familiar home environment, and our therapists are experienced at adapting evidence-based techniques for video sessions.
What ages are the best fit for telehealth therapy?+
Teens tend to do great online - many prefer it. For younger children, it depends on the child: some engage wonderfully via video with creative, interactive activities, while others benefit more from in-person care. Your therapist will assess honestly and advise what's best for your child - including recommending in-person options when that's the better fit.
What technology do we need for online sessions?+
Just a smartphone, tablet, or computer with a camera, a standard internet connection, and a quiet private space. Our HIPAA-compliant video platform works in any web browser - no downloads or special software. We send a secure link before each session, and we're happy to walk you through setup before the first appointment.
Do parents join the sessions?+
Parents are partners in the process. Depending on your child's age and needs, that can mean joining part of a session, scheduled parent check-ins, or virtual coaching to help you support progress at home. For teens, we balance parent involvement with the private space teens need to open up.
Does insurance cover online therapy for my child?+
Coverage varies by plan. We accept major insurance plans including Blue Cross Blue Shield, Aetna, Cigna, and United Health, and most plans cover telehealth sessions - but benefits differ, so please call us at (919) 300-6717 to verify your specific coverage before your child's first session. Self-pay options are also available.
How private are my teen's sessions?+
Sessions run on a fully HIPAA-compliant, encrypted video platform, and nothing is recorded without explicit written consent. What your teen shares in session is confidential under HIPAA and NC law, with the standard safety exceptions your therapist will explain up front. We recommend your teen join from a private room - headphones help too.
