Helping Kids Thrive Through Connection & Play – Online Child Therapy in Orange County and Across California

Is your child struggling with big emotions, anxiety, grief, or behavior challenges? Do you feel unsure how to support them through something you can’t quite see or understand? At Full Vida Therapy, we specialize in helping children express themselves, build coping skills, and feel more confident—through developmentally appropriate, evidence-based therapy. We offer virtual child therapy to families in Orange County and throughout California, creating a safe space for children to grow and heal from the comfort of home.

What Is Child Therapy?

Child therapy gives children a space to work through emotional, social, and behavioral challenges in a way that makes sense to them—often through play, creativity, and simple language. Our therapists are trained to meet kids where they are developmentally, using techniques that help them express what’s going on inside—even when they don’t have the words yet.

We use Play Therapy, Person-Centered, and CBT-informed approaches that help children:

• Build emotional awareness

• Develop healthy coping strategies

• Feel more secure and supported at home and school

Common Reasons Parents Seek Child Therapy:

• Anxiety, fears, or excessive worry

• Behavioral outbursts or emotional dysregulation

• Grief, loss, or parental separation

• School-related stress or performance pressure

• Social difficulties, bullying, or isolation

• Changes in family structure (divorce, moves, blending families)

• Trauma or highly sensitive temperaments

What to Expect from Online Child Therapy:

While therapy with children looks different than with adults, it’s just as powerful—and yes, it works virtually. Here’s how:

• We use age-appropriate games, drawing, stories, and roleplay via video

• We coach and collaborate with parents to support the child between sessions

• We engage kids in their own environment, where they often feel safer and more regulated

• Sessions are designed to feel playful, flexible, and empowering

You’ll also receive regular updates, parenting support, and guidance on how to reinforce what your child is learning in therapy.
