Online Therapy for Children, Teens & Adolescents in Connecticut
What Virtual Sessions Look Like
Convenient, effective therapy from the comfort of your home — with the same quality and care as our in-person sessions.
At RZ Therapy Solutions, our online therapy sessions are conducted through a HIPAA-compliant, encrypted video platform that protects your family's privacy at every step. All you need is a device with a camera, a microphone, and a reliable internet connection — we handle the rest.
For younger children, parents often join sessions or stay nearby to support engagement. Our therapists use play-based and interactive activities adapted for the virtual setting, keeping kids focused and comfortable. For teens and adolescents, sessions are typically one-on-one, giving them a private space to talk openly with their therapist. Parents receive regular updates, check-ins, and guidance to support progress at home.
Remote therapy sessions are clinically equivalent to in-person care. Our licensed therapists use the same evidence-based modalities — including CBT, the ARC framework, CCPT adaptations, and trauma-informed approaches — whether your child is sitting in our Colchester office or connecting from their living room. Many children and teens actually prefer virtual sessions because they feel more relaxed in their own environment.
Before your first appointment, our team will walk you through the technology setup and answer any questions so everything runs smoothly from day one.
Who Online Therapy Helps
Virtual therapy is a great fit for many of the children, teens, and families we work with.
Online therapy and telehealth can be a strong match for children, teens, and adolescents experiencing a wide range of challenges, including:
- Anxiety — generalized worry, social anxiety, school-related fears, and panic
- ADHD & executive functioning — focus, organization, impulse control, and self-regulation
- Trauma & PTSD — processing difficult experiences, rebuilding safety, and restoring trust
- Behavioral challenges — defiance, aggression, school avoidance, and boundary-testing
- Emotional regulation — anger, frustration, big emotions, and coping skill development
- Depression & self-esteem — sadness, withdrawal, low confidence, and identity struggles
- Teens who prefer remote sessions — adolescents often feel more comfortable and open from home
- Families outside Colchester — no commute needed for families across Connecticut
Whether your child is 3 or 18, virtual therapy removes barriers like travel time and scheduling conflicts, making it easier for families to access consistent, high-quality care.

Frequently Asked Questions About Online Therapy
Is online therapy effective for kids and teens?
Yes. Research consistently shows that online therapy is just as effective as in-person therapy for children, teens, and adolescents dealing with anxiety, depression, ADHD, trauma, and behavioral challenges. Our licensed therapists use the same evidence-based modalities — including play-based approaches, CBT, and the ARC framework — in virtual sessions. Many kids and teens actually feel more comfortable opening up from home, which can accelerate therapeutic progress.
Do you offer telehealth for adolescents?
Absolutely. We provide telehealth therapy specifically designed for adolescents and teens throughout Connecticut. Whether your teen is navigating anxiety, depression, school stress, identity exploration, or emotional regulation challenges, our therapists are experienced in connecting with adolescents through virtual sessions. Telehealth is often a preferred format for teens who value privacy and convenience.
What platform do you use for remote therapy sessions?
We use a HIPAA-compliant, encrypted video platform to ensure the privacy and security of every session. All you need is a device with a camera, a microphone, and a stable internet connection. Our team will walk you through the setup before your first appointment so everything runs smoothly.
Can parents participate in online therapy sessions?
Yes. Parent involvement is an important part of our approach, especially for younger children. Depending on the child's age and therapeutic goals, parents may join part or all of a session, participate in separate parent coaching calls, or receive updates and guidance after each session. For teens, we balance parental involvement with the adolescent's need for privacy and autonomy.
What insurance do you accept for virtual therapy?
We accept major insurance plans and Husky (Connecticut Medicaid) for online therapy sessions. Coverage for telehealth varies by plan, so we recommend contacting our office at (860) 266-6358 to verify your benefits before scheduling. We are happy to help you understand your coverage and any out-of-pocket costs.
