Review of Anxiety Relief for Teens
Feb 14th, 2026 by Aldouspi

Anxiety Relief for Teens is a practical self-help book aimed at teenagers who are struggling with anxiety, stress, or worry. Written by licensed psychologist Regine Galanti, PhD, it uses evidence-based cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) techniques and mindfulness practices to help readers understand and manage anxiety more effectively. The book includes quizzes, self-assessments, and over 60 exercises (30+ CBT and 30+ mindfulness practices) designed to teach skills teens can use in daily life.

What Readers Appreciate:


Anxiety Relief for Teens:
Essential CBT Skills and Mindfulness
Practices to Overcome Anxiety
and Stress
Available on Amazon

Practical, actionable tools:
Many reviewers — including readers on GoodReads — praise the book for offering clear, simple exercises that don’t feel overly technical. Users say the CBT tools and mindfulness practices are easy to follow and genuinely helpful for calming anxiety and reducing stress.

Teen-friendly language and tone:
The conversational writing style and layout make psychological concepts accessible, which can be especially valuable for young readers who might find traditional self-help books intimidating.

Good for beginners:
For teens with mild to moderate anxiety or those new to CBT and mindfulness, many find this book a useful introduction to how these strategies work in practice.

Critiques & Limitations

Not a substitute for professional help:
Some reviewers note that the book can feel like a manual rather than a narrative — and that it lacks deeper exploration of more severe anxiety conditions or clinical treatments. For instance, there’s little discussion of medication or when to seek professional intervention.

Mixed reactions to depth:
While exercises are generally seen as beneficial, some readers feel parts of the book are too simplistic — sometimes veering into advice that may feel shallow or obvious to older teens or adults already familiar with anxiety-management concepts.

Variable reader experience:

Reactions on social reading platforms vary, with some teens reporting that they didn’t find it helpful or that it can feel repetitive or slow in sections, while others found it transformative.

Who This Book Is Best For

Great for:

  • Teens newly learning about anxiety and coping skills
  • Parents or caregivers looking for supportive material to share
  • Readers who want structured, workbook-like activities

Maybe less helpful for:

  • Teens with severe anxiety disorders requiring clinical intervention
  • Readers seeking in-depth psychological theory
  • Those expecting a purely narrative or memoir-style book

General Consensus

Overall reader ratings trend moderately positive — with many appreciating the relatable presentation and practical tools — but with some clear voices suggesting it’s more of a self-work resource or workbook than a deep psychological text.

Bottom Line

Anxiety Relief for Teens is a solid, accessible guide filled with real exercises and skills that teens can use to better understand and manage anxiety. It works best as a practical companion or support tool — not a replacement for therapy — especially for those who benefit from structured CBT and mindfulness methods. If you (or a teen you care about) are looking for hands-on strategies to cope with everyday anxiety and stress, this book is a strong starter choice.


 

News About Teen Anxiety

Anxiety in Teens

Am I loved?
      Am I loved?
           Am I loved?

The short answer is:
      “Yes, of course!”

How do I know…

Because the Universe
      put you here,
sure It used a mother and a father
      to get you started
on this planet,
      but the Universe really,
really, wants you to be here
      and that is love.

And if the Universe,
           which is so big,
      see the night sky
      see the vastness of an ocean
      think of the number of atoms
           your body is made of –
      the Universe is really,
          really big,
and if something that BIG
      loves you, feel it!

Wow! are you loved,
      which makes it
OKAY,
      to love yourself.
