Virtual Teen Therapy in Tennessee: Real Support for Teens Who Feel Overwhelmed
Being a teenager today is a lot.
Pressure to succeed. Social media. Relationship drama. Family stress. Identity questions. Anxiety that won’t quiet down. Feeling sad and not knowing why. Or maybe just being really freaking tired of carrying it all.
If your teen is struggling, they’re not broken… and you’re not failing. They may just need the right support.
I’m Destinee, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and Perinatal Mental Health Certified (PMH-C) therapist offering virtual teen therapy across Tennessee, including Nashville, Memphis, Knoxville, and surrounding communities. I provide trauma-informed, LGBTQIA+ affirming, culturally sensitive therapy for teens navigating anxiety, depression, identity development, family stress, and life transitions.
What Teen Therapy Can Help With
I work with teens who are experiencing:
Anxiety and overthinking
Depression or low motivation
Social anxiety or friendship stress
Relationship challenges or infidelity in the family
Grief and loss
Chronic illness adjustment
Trauma or difficult past experiences
Identity exploration (including LGBTQIA+ support)
Academic stress and burnout
Family conflict
Some teens come in saying, “I don’t even know what’s wrong.” That’s okay. Therapy is a place to figure that out together.
Why Choose Virtual Therapy for Teens in Tennessee?
Virtual therapy offers teens:
✔ Comfort of being in their own space
✔ Privacy and reduced stigma
✔ Flexibility for busy school and extracurricular schedules
✔ Access to specialized care anywhere in Tennessee
Research consistently shows that online therapy is effective for treating anxiety, depression, and trauma-related concerns. Many teens actually open up more in virtual sessions.
If you're in Nashville, Memphis, Knoxville, or a rural Tennessee town without specialized teen mental health services, virtual therapy removes that barrier.

My Approach to Teen Counseling
My style is warm, authentic, and down-to-earth. Therapy doesn’t have to feel stiff or clinical. There’s room for humor, real-talk, and even a little swearing if that’s your teen’s vibe.
As an LCSW and PMH-C therapist, I use evidence-based approaches including:
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
Internal Family Systems (IFS)
Trauma-informed care
Therapy is always personalized. Some teens need coping skills. Others need space to process. Some need help building confidence or setting boundaries. We go at their pace.
Support for Parents
Parents are often carrying a lot too.
You might be worried. Confused. Unsure how to help. Or walking on eggshells at home.
In teen therapy, I balance:
Teen confidentiality
Parent collaboration
Clear communication around safety
When appropriate, I provide parent check-ins to offer guidance and tools, all while protecting your teen’s safe space.
Specialized Support: Teen Pregnancy & Postpartum Mental Health
Teen pregnancy brings layered emotions that don’t always get talked about openly.
There can be excitement. Fear. Shame. Grief. Pressure. Isolation. Judgment from others. A sudden shift in identity. And often, a lot of responsibility all at once.
Whether the pregnancy was planned or unexpected, teen parents deserve real, informed mental health support.
As a Perinatal Mental Health Certified (PMH-C) therapist, I provide specialized virtual therapy for teens in Tennessee navigating:
Unplanned or unexpected pregnancy
Postpartum depression
Postpartum anxiety
Birth trauma
NICU or medical complications
Relationship stress during pregnancy
Co-parenting challenges
Identity shifts into motherhood
Balancing school, family, and parenting
Teen parents are at higher risk for postpartum mood disorders, anxiety, and depression, especially when support systems are limited. Many also experience stigma or feel misunderstood by peers.
You don’t have to hold that alone.
Virtual therapy creates a private, judgment-free space where teen moms (and teen parents) can process:
“I love my baby, but I feel overwhelmed.”
“I don’t feel like myself anymore.”
“I’m grieving the life I thought I’d have.”
“I’m exhausted and nobody sees it.”
Because of my background working in medical settings like the NICU and PICU, I also understand the emotional impact of complicated pregnancies, premature births, and medical stress.
Teen pregnancy is not just a life event! It’s a major identity transition. Therapy can help you and your teen move through it with support, strength, and self-compassion.
Is It Time for Teen Therapy?
You may want to consider therapy if your teen:
Seems withdrawn or irritable
Is struggling academically
Has significant mood changes
Expresses hopelessness
Is overwhelmed by anxiety
Is navigating identity or relationship stress
Early support can prevent deeper struggles later.
