Combating Teen Anxiety: An Online Course for Parents
Combating Teen Anxiety is a self-paced online course that gives parents practical tools for understanding their teen’s anxiety, staying steady during the hard moments, and rebuilding connection at home.
It’s ten modules long, you can work through it on your own schedule, and your teen can join any module they’d like.
I created it because so many of the parents I work with feel the same way: watching their teen struggle and not knowing what actually helps.
Is This Course for You?You might be in the right place if:
- One pre-consultation interview (online available) to assess for candidacy, gain insight, and identify obstacles. We will also target unpleasant beliefs, body sensations, emotions, or images from which you are seeking relief.
- Assessments to identify symptoms you’d like to alleviate, your attachment style, areas of activation or triggers, strengths you’d like to enhance, and memories or experiences that still need attention and soothing.
What’s Inside
The course is organized into ten modules. Most take 60 to 90 minutes, and many parents work through one a week.
- Know Your Values in a Meltdown. How to stay grounded in what matters most when emotions run high.
- Mindset Matters. How the way anxiety is framed at home shapes how teens respond to it.
- Achievement and Setting Expectations. Supporting a driven teen without adding to the pressure.
- Regulate Your Nervous System. Calming tools for you first, so you can help them.
- Having the Difficult Conversations. Opening topics teens tend to avoid.
- Talking About Sex. Approaching a hard subject with clarity instead of panic.
- Shame and Negative Beliefs. Recognizing the quiet beliefs that fuel anxiety.
- Replacing Unhealthy Habits. Swapping coping patterns that backfire for ones that help.
- The Art of Letting Go. Giving your teen room to grow while staying connected.
- Own Your Authenticity. Modeling the self-acceptance you want for them.
What’s Included
- More than 20 training videos
- Downloadable worksheets for each module
- Audio versions you can listen to on the go
- A curated resource list
- Three guided calming practices, including a breath-and-movement technique for meltdowns and two short visualizations
- Lifetime access, so you can revisit any module as your teen grows
Course or Therapy?
The course is designed for parents who want practical tools and a clearer understanding of what their teen is going through. It isn’t a replacement for therapy. If your teen’s anxiety is getting in the way of school, sleep, friendships, or daily life, one-on-one therapy for your teen may be the better next step, and many families use both together.
If you’re not sure which fits, a free 20-minute consultation is a good way to talk it through.
