Online Children's Therapy (Ages 10–12)

A space for the big feelings that don’t have words yet. More meltdowns than usual. A kid who used to talk your ear off and now barely mentions their day. At 10, 11, or 12, kids feel just as much as anyone — they just don’t always have the vocabulary for it.

Who It Is For​

Concerns we support

  • Anxiety. Worry that shows up as reluctance to try new things, trouble separating from a parent, or physical symptoms like stomachaches before school.

  • Big emotions and emotional regulation. Meltdowns that feel outsized for the trigger, or a child who seems to swing quickly between moods without an obvious cause.

  • Behavior at home or school. Acting out, defiance, or difficulty following routines that’s become a pattern rather than an occasional rough day.

  • Friendship trouble. Being excluded, struggling to make friends, or conflict with peers that’s affecting how a child feels about school or themselves.

  • Family conflict as it affects a specific child. Tension at home — a divorce, a new sibling, a move — showing up in how a child is coping, even if the underlying issue is a family one.

How to know whether your child may need therapy

Watch for changes that last more than a couple of weeks, rather than a single bad day: bigger or more frequent meltdowns, new reluctance to go to school, withdrawal from friends or activities they used to enjoy, changes in sleep or appetite, a shift from talkative to quiet, physical complaints like stomachaches with no medical cause, or a drop in grades that doesn’t match effort. None of these alone means something is seriously wrong — they’re signals worth a conversation, not a diagnosis.

Most kids this age adapt to video sessions quickly, especially with a caregiver nearby to help them settle in for the first few sessions. Signs your child is likely to do well: they’re generally comfortable with screens and video calls, they can sit through a short structured activity, and they’ve shown some willingness to talk about feelings, even briefly. If your child struggles significantly with screens or has a hard time with any remote format, mention that when you reach out — your therapist can talk through whether online is the right starting point or whether a different approach makes more sense first.

Changes lasting more than a couple of weeks — mood, sleep, school avoidance, withdrawal — are worth a conversation, even without a crisis.

You’ll be kept informed on themes and how to support your child at home; your therapist explains the specifics upfront.

Participating clinicians use conversation, drawing, and other engaging methods suited to this age — talking isn’t the only way in.

Only with your consent, and only when it would genuinely help.

Depends on your specific plan, verified before your first session; sliding scale starts at $55.

Over secure video, with your child physically located in a state where the therapist is licensed. Full technical details are on our Online Therapy page.

"We had a fantastic therapist and provided a really welcoming and constructive environment for us to work together on my issues. She helped me identify my own issues, and also get over real hurdles in my life. She provided numerous resources that I am still working my way through. I would highly recommend trying it out if you haven't!"

"Our therapist at Trust Therapeutics is an amazing resource for the staff and students at Fenway High School. She provides individual counseling to students, consults with school faculty, and often provides resources and a helping hand to the interns at Fenway High. The students often leave counseling sessions with a smile on their face. She truly connects with and makes quite the difference in our students' lives. We are truly lucky to have her as an additional therapeutic resource."
