Online Therapy for Kids, Teens & Young Adults in Plano

Hi, I’m Chelsea. I offer a safe, collaborative space for children, teens, and adults navigating anxiety, grief, trauma, and life transitions. Whether you have a clear concern or just know something feels off, both are valid places to start. My approach is tailored to you: using play and creativity for kids, and practical tools for teens and adults. Together, we will reduce distress, build resilience, and develop everyday coping skills. I’d be honored to walk alongside you.

I am deeply passionate about supporting children, adolescents, and adults as they navigate life’s challenges, including anxiety, depression, grief, and self-esteem concerns. My approach is grounded in empathy and creating a space where each client feels heard, understood, and empowered. I incorporate CBT/DBT to help clients express emotions and process experiences. I believe in fostering a safe, nonjudgmental environment where individuals can explore their emotions, and work towards healing.

I provide a safe, nonjudgmental space to help you feel heard and supported. With a Master’s in Social Work and clinical experience in a school setting, child welfare and trauma-informed care, I work with children, teens, and adults on anxiety, anger, bullying, school/social challenges, grief, trauma, and life transitions. I use evidence-based practices to build coping skills, resilience, and self-worth, meeting you where you are to reach your goals. I am honored to be a part of your journey.

A Safe Space for Healing, Even When Words Aren’t Enough Virtual therapy shouldn't feel like a chore—it should feel like a relief. As a "chameleon" clinician, I adapt my energy to meet your child exactly where they are. Whether they are shut down or acting out in fear, I create a non-judgmental space where even the "scariest" emotions are welcome. I specialize in working with children and teens navigating the aftermath of physical and sexual abuse. I know that trauma often looks like anger or violence; I see that as a cry for safety, not a "bad kid." My Tools: Art & Play Therapy: I use my own healing journey as a bridge. The art you see behind me was my voice when I suppressed my own pain for years. I help kids use creativity to speak when words feel impossible. Mindfulness & CBT: We work on grounding the body and reclaiming control over "big" thoughts and reactions. Our Partnership: Healing from trauma is a team effort. I don’t just work with your child; I partner with you to turn our sessions into a roadmap for safety and peace at home. Let’s work together to help your child find their voice and heal their inner self.

Hi, I’m Vanny Ramirez, LPC-Associate. Life can feel overwhelming when anxiety, ADHD, school stress, trauma-related experiences, relationship challenges, or life transitions begin affecting daily life. Therapy can be a space to better understand these challenges, build coping skills, and feel more supported.

With over a decade of experience in education and special programs, I understand how emotional wellbeing, learning, and family dynamics often overlap.

Life can feel like a lot, especially when you’re balancing school, relationships, family expectations, and trying to figure out who you are, where you’re going, and how to handle it all at the same time. If you’re here, something may feel off, overwhelming, or just hard to sort through on your own. Therapy can be a space to talk things through, understand what’s going on, and start feeling more in control of your day-to-day life. I see therapy as a collaborative process. My role isn’t to judge you. It’s to help you understand yourself, build skills that feel useful in your day-to-day life, and feel more confident using your voice and advocating for what you need. I bring experience and perspective. You bring your thoughts, your worries, your hopes, and your stories. Together, we will make sense of it and figure out what will help you move forward in a real, sustainable way. I know it can feel awkward to about your problems, especially with someone you don’t know yet. My goal is to make this feel as real and comfortable as possible. With me, you can expect a space where you can be honest and fully yourself. I’m not here to lecture you or tell you what to do—I’m here to listen, understand, and help you make sense of what’s going on in your life. I’m a direct but kind communicator, and I use a mix of thoughtful conversation, practical tools, and guided questions to help you explore what you’re feeling, clarify what matters to you, and start using what you are learning into practice in your day-to-day life. I’ll challenge you when it’s helpful, support you when it’s hard, and use humor when it fits. In therapy, we might work on: • Feeling less anxious, stressed, or overwhelmed • Navigating friendships, relationships, and family dynamics • Building confidence and figuring out who you are • Managing school pressure, expectations, or burnout • Working through difficult experiences or big life changes In our work together, I’ll be there to support your growth, help you get to know yourself better, and guide you in building the confidence and skills needed to navigate your life with more clarity and direction. For parents I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with nearly two decades of experience working with adolescents and young adults in educational settings. Throughout my career, I’ve supported young people through academic, emotional, and social challenges while working closely with families. My work has included: • Helping adolescents manage anxiety, stress, and emotional overwhelm so they can function more effectively day-to-day • Supporting young people who feel stuck, unmotivated, or are struggling to engage in school or daily responsibilities • Working with adolescents and families to better understand challenges, reduce stress, and create realistic ways to support daily life • Guiding adolescents through peer conflict, relationship challenges, and social stressors • Helping adolescents build confidence and develop strategies when they feel overwhelmed, discouraged, or stuck in school or other areas of life • Responding to crisis situations and helping adolescents regain a sense of stability and safety In my therapy work, I focus on helping adolescents and young adults build self-awareness, strengthen communication, develop healthy coping skills, and grow into more confident, capable versions of themselves. Concerns like friendship or relationship challenges, uncertainty about identity, stress at home, feeling overwhelmed or burned out, struggles with motivation, anxiety that gets in the way of daily life, or simply feeling off without a clear reason are all common reasons young people seek support. Therapy can be a place to sort through these experiences and find a clearer path forward. If my approach feels like a good fit, I’d be glad to connect.
