The article examines the discourse of the psychological problems of adolescents and their upbringing within the context of the coronavirus pandemic. The purpose of the study is to analyze the impact of the pandemic on parenting practices, as well as the role that discursive practices play in the context of social change. Using the methods of Critical Discourse Analysis, the author studies the blog of a professional psychologist of The New York Times Liza Damour. The scientific novelty lies in the use of relevant sources that have not previously been widely used in research on this topic, as well as in the unprecedented context of the pandemic, within which the analysis is carried out. On the one hand, the author of the blog writes about the spread of anxiety among adolescents and their parents. On the other hand, she aims to support her readers. The paper analyses the role of the studied texts in the modern discourse of psychology as well as its influence on the newly emerging educational practices. As a result of the characteristics of the psychological blog under study, it is determined that such texts provide the reader with the necessary psychological support and come to the fore in the construction of modern discourses.
