Art Therapy Online for Mental Health, Trauma, and Emotional Healing
You don’t need to be an artist to start healing through art.
Art therapy is a safe, creative way to explore your thoughts, process emotions, and work through trauma without needing to “find the right words.” Whether you’re dealing with anxiety, grief, or just feeling overwhelmed, online art therapy gives you the space to express yourself in ways that feel natural, even when talking feels hard.
At PsychiCare, our licensed therapists guide you through personalised art-based sessions designed for all ages children, teens, adults, and older adults. It’s not about making “perfect” art. It’s about finding peace, clarity, and connection through creativity.
What Is Art Therapy & How Does It Work?
Art therapy is a form of psychotherapy that uses creative expression like drawing, painting, sculpting, or collage to help people process emotions, manage stress, and heal from trauma. It’s especially helpful when words fall short or when emotions feel too big to talk about.
At its core, art therapy isn’t about making something “beautiful.” It’s about making something true. Whether you’re exploring past pain, managing anxiety, or just needing a safe outlet, creating art in therapy can help you understand what you’re feeling, without pressure or judgment.
Our sessions are evidence-based and rooted in therapeutic approaches like emotion-focused therapy, cognitive-behavioural art therapy (CBAT), and mentalization-based techniques. Everything is guided by a trained therapist, with no need for artistic skill.

Online Art Therapy for All Ages
Art therapy at PsychiCare is designed to meet you where you are emotionally, developmentally, and personally. Our licensed therapists adapt sessions based on age, needs, and goals, so each experience feels safe, relevant, and effective.
Children (Ages 3–10)
Children often express emotions through play and images before they can articulate them in words. Art therapy gives younger kids a comfortable way to:
- Process family stress or school challenges
- Manage ADHD, anger, or anxiety
- Cope with sensory overload or learning delays
- Heal from trauma or early loss
Our sessions for kids may include painting, storytelling, clay work, or guided drawing, focused on emotional expression and behavioural growth.
Teens & Adolescents
Teenagers often feel misunderstood or emotionally stuck. Through art therapy, they can:
- Explore identity and emotions safely
- Reduce anxiety, manage school or peer stress
- Work through social anxiety or trauma
- Improve communication and self-esteem
Art becomes a healthy outlet when words feel too risky or intense.
Adults of All Ages
For adults, art therapy supports emotional healing across a wide range of concerns:
- Trauma recovery (including sexual abuse)
- Relationship issues and emotional boundaries
- Anxiety, OCD, grief, or burnout
- Self-worth, identity work, and letting go
Sessions are confidential, supportive, and can be tailored to integrate with talk therapy or other treatment plans.
Older Adults & Geriatric Support
Creative expression can support cognitive health and emotional connection in later life. For older adults, art therapy offers:
- Memory stimulation and attention strengthening
- A safe outlet for unresolved grief or emotional pain
- Support with life transitions, illness, or isolation
- Gentle routines that promote calm and clarity
Our online sessions are accessible and easy to use; no prior tech experience needed.
