I would think that in this day and age... you could find a therapist that would be willing to work with your son via skype. Perhaps you can make a few calls starting with your insurance company. It is very important to get yoru son some help as soon as possible so that he can begin the process of getting help for his depression. I also do Parent coaching and can make arrangements to do that via IM or Skype. Take Care Hi Catherine,

He's 19, and working in a summer camp in a remote area, with no resources for help. He refuses to leave work early. You mentioned therapists who might be willing to skype. Any suggestions of specific therapists? My son has shown several classic signs of depression. He’s 19, and working in a summer camp in a remote area, with no resources for help.

I am always amazed at their resilience. I have seen extremely depressed and anxious teens make it to school every day. They hold it together all day long only to lose it in the evenings. These kids need support. If you are a parent of a depressed teen find a therapist that will ‘work outside the box” who will be willing to text or skype if your child can’t get out of the office. A therapist that can be flexible with time constraints adjusted as needed. I have a lot of great resources on http://ed-psy.com/articles-resources/ that might be helpful in addition to this excellent website. As someone who works with teens.
