This free child therapy session planner gives therapists and counselors one structured page for deciding what the session is trying to accomplish, which activity or conversation fits that goal, what regulation or caregiver factors may matter, and what should be reviewed next. It is designed as a practical planning aid rather than a rigid script, so the clinician can adapt the session when the child arrives with a different need than expected.
