Anxiety Counseling at the Counseling Corner

Gentle, Evidence-Based Therapy for Kids Struggling with Worry, Fear, Anxiety, and Feeling Overwhelmed

Anxiety in children can be quiet—or loud. It may show up as big emotions, physical complaints, or an intense need for control. Whether your child is dealing with school anxiety, separation fears, intrusive thoughts, panic attacks, or constant worry, they don’t have to navigate it alone—and neither do you.

Anxiety is more than just worry—it’s the feeling of being stuck in a cycle of fear, dread, overthinking, and emotional exhaustion. Whether it’s panic attacks, constant tension, school or social anxiety, intrusive thoughts, or fear of failure, anxiety can interfere with everyday life.

At The Counseling Corner, we provide compassionate, research-backed anxiety therapy for children in Orlando, helping young minds and hearts find calm, confidence, and connection again.

🧠 What Does Anxiety Look Like in Children?

Childhood anxiety can be tricky to spot. It’s not always nervousness or tears—it often hides behind behavior, perfectionism, or somatic symptoms.

Common signs of anxiety in children:

  • Difficulty sleeping or recurring nightmares

  • Racing thoughts or constant worry

  • School refusal or frequent visits to the nurse’s office

  • Clinginess, meltdowns, or fear of being alone

  • Tantrums before transitions or new situations

  • Repetitive questions or excessive reassurance-seeking

  • Complaints of headaches, stomachaches, or nausea

  • Perfectionism, overthinking, or fear of making mistakes

  • Panic attacks or fear of losing control

  • Avoidance of social, academic, or new experiences

Anxiety can interfere with learning, friendships, and daily routines. But with the right support, children can learn to manage fear, tolerate uncertainty, and feel brave from the inside out.

🧩 How We Help Children with Anxiety

At The Counseling Corner, we use developmentally appropriate, evidence-based therapies designed specifically for children. Every session is built around trust, play, and emotional safety.

Our approach includes:

  • Play Therapy – Allows children to express fear and confusion in a language they understand: play.

  • CBT for Kids – Teaches children how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect, and helps them challenge “anxious thinking traps.”

  • Trauma-Focused CBT (TF-CBT) – Designed for children whose anxiety stems from grief, loss, or trauma.

  • Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) – A rapid, non-invasive eye-movement therapy that reduces anxiety symptoms and emotional overwhelm.

  • Mindfulness-Based Strategies – Helps kids calm their bodies and anchor in the present.

  • Solution-Focused Therapy – Encourages quick wins and confidence-building strategies.

  • Exposure Therapy – Helps clients gently face and overcome fears

  • Parent Coaching – Guides caregivers in how to support anxious kids without reinforcing fears.

  • Family Therapy – Strengthens connection and consistency at home, especially during times of change or stress.

We partner closely with parents, educators, and other providers to create a support system that helps your child thrive—emotionally, socially, and academically.

Together, we target the anxious mind and the anxious body—helping to calm your child’s nervous system and empowering them to move forward with courage.

💡 What Parents Need to Know

1. Anxiety is common—and treatable.
One in eight children experiences anxiety, and many respond quickly to early intervention.

2. You didn’t cause this.
Anxiety is not a reflection of your parenting—it’s a signal your child needs tools and support.

3. The earlier the support, the better the outcome.
Left untreated, anxiety can escalate and impact development. Early help builds resilience and emotional regulation.

4. We’re here to help both your child and you.
We offer parent sessions, check-ins, and coaching so you feel confident supporting your child at home.
