My clients are insightful, purposeful, and inspiring. I feel so honored to hear others' stories and walk alongside my clients as they seek healing!

Dr. Esther Lapite-Garrett | Alafiora

Alafiora

Licensed Psychologist

Licensed In:
Indiana, New Mexico
“At Alafiora, Dr. Lapite-Garrett works with clients where everything feels out of control, and these individuals can see themselves moving toward the edge but cannot stop. For some, this has meant slipping out of the office to meet an escort, initiating sexual contact with a colleague or subordinate they know could cost them everything, or spending thousands on escorts and sex dolls with relief that lasts less each time. For others, it has meant a consuming, one-sided devotion to someone who may barely register their existence, a person who has gone silent while the longing only intensifies. Some have stopped engaging with people altogether, bonded to an AI companion that requires nothing and cannot leave, finding real human contact unbearable by comparison. Others are caught in trauma reenactment, pulled into situations that mirror what was done to them, not by choice but by a nervous system that has learned to find danger familiar. Alafiora specializes in working with these individuals and in helping them slowly, meaningfully begin to press the brakes.”

“I help clients manage stressors tied to school, work, and identity. Since everyone feels differently, I tailor my approach, integrating tools to regulate emotions while honoring the unique systems and environments you live in. Many of the people I work with come to therapy feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, OCD, ADHD, depression, trauma, relationship challenges, or emotions that feel difficult to manage. Others are navigating life transitions, identity development, family conflict, or the unique challenges that come with growing up in today’s world. I especially like helping clients better understand themselves, strengthen their relationships, and develop practical tools they can use long after therapy ends. I enjoy working with children and tweens with big emotions, with a strong emphasis on parent involvement. I also have a passion for working with children of immigrant families and individuals navigating cultural or generational experiences within their families.”

About Teen Therapy

Online teen therapy gives adolescents a private, supportive space to talk with a licensed mental health provider through secure video sessions. It can help teens work through anxiety, depression, school pressure, identity questions, relationship stress, family conflict, life transitions, and the emotional changes that often come with adolescence.

Therapy Expanded helps families compare online therapists who work with teens by location, specialties, therapy approach, insurance, and availability. Depending on the teen’s age, goals, and safety needs, therapy may include one-on-one sessions, parent or caregiver check-ins, or support around communication at home. Looking for therapy for a younger child? Browse child therapy. If family conflict, communication patterns, or household stress are central concerns, family therapy or parenting therapy may also be helpful.

What to Know About Online Teen Therapy

Online teen therapy is mental health support delivered through secure telehealth platforms for teenagers and adolescents. It gives teens access to care from home while making therapy easier to fit around school, activities, family schedules, and everyday life.

Therapy for teens often looks different from therapy for younger children or adults. Adolescence can be a time of intense emotional change, social pressure, academic stress, identity development, growing independence, and shifting family dynamics. A strong teen therapist knows how to meet teens in a way that feels respectful, age-appropriate, and relevant to what they are actually dealing with.

Online teen therapy may help with anxiety, depression, school pressure, low self-esteem, friendship struggles, family conflict, grief, trauma, emotional regulation, identity exploration, and major life transitions. Some teens start therapy because they feel overwhelmed, shut down, angry, lonely, or stuck. Others want support with motivation, confidence, relationships, or coping with the day-to-day pressure of being a teenager.

For many families, virtual teen therapy makes support more accessible. It can reduce travel time, open up access to providers outside the local area, and make after-school or evening appointments more manageable. At the same time, online therapy is not the right fit for every teen or every situation. Some teens do better in person, and immediate safety concerns or more severe mental health needs may call for a different level of care.

It is also important to know that parents or caregivers are often part of the process, but teen therapy still needs room for privacy. A thoughtful provider will usually balance caregiver involvement with the teen’s need for a confidential space to speak honestly, while also making clear how safety concerns are handled.

How Does Online Teen Therapy Work?

Starting online therapy for teens begins with finding a provider who offers telehealth and works specifically with adolescents. Many provider profiles list the age groups they serve, their specialties, therapy style, insurance information, fees, and availability so families can compare options before reaching out.

Once you book, there is usually an intake process where the parent, caregiver, teen, or some combination of all three shares background information, current concerns, and goals for therapy. Some therapists begin with a caregiver consultation. Others include the teen in the first session right away. The structure often depends on the therapist’s style and the teen’s age.

During sessions, teens usually meet with the therapist by secure video from a private space at home. Sessions may focus on emotions, relationships, school stress, family dynamics, coping tools, identity, motivation, or patterns that feel hard to change. Some therapists are more conversational and reflective, while others are more structured and skills-based.

As therapy continues, sessions often happen weekly or biweekly. Parents or caregivers may have periodic check-ins with the therapist, especially when support at home is an important part of treatment. At the same time, most teen therapists try to protect enough privacy so the teen can build trust and speak openly. Like in-person care, online teen therapy works best when there is consistency, honesty, and a provider who feels like a good fit.

How to Find the Right Online Provider for Teen Therapy

Finding the right online teen therapist starts with experience. Make sure the provider works specifically with teens and adolescents, not only with younger children or adults. Teen therapy comes with its own relational style, privacy concerns, and developmental needs, so it helps to choose someone who understands that stage of life.

Next, look for a provider whose specialties match what your teen needs support with. Some teen therapists focus on anxiety, depression, school stress, and emotional regulation. Others specialize in trauma, family conflict, identity-related concerns, self-esteem, grief, social struggles, or motivation. The closer the fit, the more relevant the support is likely to feel.

It also helps to pay attention to the therapist’s style. Some teen therapists are warm and conversational. Others are more direct, structured, or skills-focused. Some involve parents more actively, while others keep caregiver communication more limited outside of check-ins. Reading a provider’s profile can help you get a sense of whether their approach feels like a fit for both your teen and your family.

Practical fit matters too. Look at session cost, insurance acceptance, scheduling options, cancellation policies, and how communication with parents is handled. Because teens are more likely to stay engaged when therapy feels manageable and respectful, logistics can make a big difference.

When available, a consultation can be especially useful. Ask what online teen therapy with them usually looks like, how they involve caregivers, how they handle privacy, and what concerns they most often treat. The right provider should feel experienced, approachable, and able to create a space where the teen feels safe and understood. Therapy Expanded makes that search easier by helping families compare online teen therapists by specialty, insurance, availability, and telehealth fit.

Before you book

  • Ask about the provider’s experience with your concerns and goals.
  • Confirm availability, session fees, and your insurance coverage directly.
  • Check that the provider can work with you in each state where you will attend sessions.

Online Teen Therapy FAQs

What is online therapy for teens?

Online therapy for teens is counseling for adolescents delivered remotely through telehealth, usually by video. It gives teens a space to work with a licensed mental health provider on emotional, behavioral, social, or family-related concerns.

What can online teen therapy help with?

Online teen therapy may help with anxiety, depression, school stress, friendship issues, family conflict, self-esteem, grief, trauma, emotional regulation, identity exploration, and life transitions. It can also support teens who feel overwhelmed, withdrawn, unmotivated, or stuck.

Is online therapy effective for teens?

For many teens, yes. Online therapy can be an effective way to build coping skills, process emotions, and get meaningful support. The best fit depends on the teen’s comfort with the format, the home environment, the provider’s style, and the concerns being addressed.

What does an online teen therapy session look like?

Many online teen therapy sessions look similar to traditional talk therapy. A teen may talk with the therapist about stress, relationships, emotions, family dynamics, or things happening at school. Some therapists also use worksheets, coping tools, skill-building exercises, or structured activities depending on the teen’s needs.

How involved are parents or caregivers in teen therapy?

That depends on the teen’s age, goals, and the therapist’s approach. Many providers include parents or caregivers through intake sessions and occasional check-ins while still giving the teen private space to talk openly. A good therapist will usually explain clearly how parent involvement works from the beginning.

Will my teen have privacy in therapy?

Usually, yes. Privacy is often an important part of helping teens feel safe enough to be honest. At the same time, therapists typically explain the limits of confidentiality, especially around safety concerns. Most providers try to balance the teen’s need for privacy with the caregiver’s need to stay appropriately informed.

Will my teen still feel a real connection with their therapist online?

Yes, many teens do. A strong therapeutic connection comes from feeling heard, respected, and understood, not just from being in the same room. When the provider is a good fit, online therapy can still feel personal, supportive, and real.

What if my teen does not want to go to therapy?

That is common. Many teens are unsure at first, especially if therapy was not their idea. A skilled teen therapist will usually know how to build rapport gradually, avoid forcing the process, and help therapy feel relevant rather than like another lecture. Different providers may have different approaches, so it is best to ask the provider how they handle this.

How much does online teen therapy cost, and can I use insurance?

The cost can vary based on the provider, credentials, location, and session length. Some therapists are private pay only, while others accept insurance or offer sliding-scale rates. It is a good idea to review the provider’s profile and confirm both the fee and insurance details before scheduling.

When is online therapy for a teen not the right choice?

Online therapy may not be the best fit when there are immediate safety concerns, severe crisis symptoms, no private space for sessions, or needs that require more intensive in-person support. In those situations, in-person therapy, a higher level of care, or local crisis resources may be more appropriate.
