Supportive Counseling, Child Therapy & Play Therapy for Kids in Orlando & Online

When your child is struggling, the whole family feels it. Big feelings, meltdowns, school issues, or sudden changes in behavior can leave you worried, exhausted, and wondering what to do next. Children can experience many of the same emotional and behavioral struggles as adults—anxiety, depression, ADHD, grief, trauma, stress, behavior struggles, OCD, and more. At The Counseling Corner™, our licensed child therapists specialize in developmentally appropriate, evidence-based treatments that help young minds heal, grow, and thrive. From Play Therapy for young children to CBT, TF‑CBT, EMDR, Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART), and expressive arts therapies, each approach is tailored to meet your child’s emotional world and stage of development.

We partner closely with parents and caregivers through parent coaching, family sessions, and coordination with schools and pediatricians, as needed, to foster lasting emotional growth outside the therapy room. Whether you're searching for therapy for your child’s anxiety, trauma, ADHD, OCD, grief, or behavioral challenges, we offer both in‑person services in Orlando, Clermont, and Orange City and virtual counseling throughout Florida. Our goal is to help your child feel safer, calmer, and more confident—and to help your home feel a little brighter again.

Explore our services below to see how we support your child on the path toward emotional resilience and wellbeing so they can get back to being a kid again. Call 407-843-4968.
