Anxiety Therapy
for Children and Teens
Welcome to Carolina Anxiety Therapy
Hi! I'm Dr. Julie Sanniota, a licensed psychologist In Charlotte, NC who specializes in working with children and adolescents struggling with anxiety. You can call me Dr. Julie! As an experienced counselor licensed in both North Carolina and South Carolina, I have helped individuals, parents, and families overcome anxiety using evidence-based treatments tailored to meet each client's unique needs.
With a practical, solution-focused approach, I make therapy accessible and engaging, often using humor to create a comfortable and safe environment for my clients. If you're ready to take the first step towards overcoming your anxieties and achieving your goals, I'm here to help.
Is Your Child…
Afraid to sleep alone?
Unwilling to try new things?
Constantly needing to know your schedule or where you are in the house?
Upset when they make a mistake and might even lie to avoid being held accountable?
Unable to fall asleep at night because their mind is racing or their worries are too big?
uncomfortable asking the teacher for help if they don’t understand something at school?
Does your teen…
Complain about stomach aches before school and then does not want to go?
Worry constantly about whether their friends really like them?
Avoid speaking up in class or talking to their teachers individually?
Feel like life is very overwhelming?
Get enough hours of sleep but complains that they are always tired?
Is a perfectionist or overachieving success but feels inside like they are fake or just barely holding it together?
If this sounds like your child or teen, they may be struggling to manage their anxiety. Get them the help they deserve!

-
Understand how anxiety works, how it affects your body physically, and how your unhelpful thoughts reinforce it.
-
Learn tools to help you embrace anxiety instead of dodging tough feelings and avoiding uncomfortable situations. Lean into rather than away from your anxiety.

Practice empowers your child with the confidence to independently tolerate their feelings and change their behavior. Remember, practice makes perfect progress.
