-Teen Client Characteristics: A parent or guardian of a potential client could notice their child struggling in the realms of school, work and relationships. They may seem withdrawn from the world and their relationships. It may seem they have no friends at all. Sometimes they suffer from what is known as 'screen addiction', which can take the form of extended hours on their phones, computers, televisions, or any number of other devices.
