Cognitive and behavioral therapies are recommended for anxious, depressive or inappropriate behaviors. The methods and techniques applied in cognitive-behavioral therapy can be applied to people of different ages, from children to adults.

Heredity, the quality of attachment relationships that the adolescent develops towards the parent, the temperament, the strategy to manage stress will cause a disorder. There are several types of problems that adolescents can address to the psychotherapist: social phobia, panic disorder, school phobia, obsessive-compulsive disorder, attention disorder, depression, cannabis addiction, video and internet addiction. Cognitive-behavioral therapy comes with a series of scales for assessing the disorders that adolescents are addressing in order to choose optimal strategies for working with it.
