To build on my idea in the comments -- a chatbot framework may be helpful, even if that's not your ultimate goal.

Here's a link to a little about them and how they can be used: rebot.me/page/about

Customize it through the use of various tools and then start ‘teaching’ it to respond to certain questions. As you spend more time talking to it, it’ll ‘learn’ more and more answers to certain questions you want it to answer. ... Simply ‘teach’ your chatbot to respond to questions users will likely pose.

chatbotsmagazine.com/the-complete-beginner-s-guide-to-chatbots-8280b7b906ca explains in part that these are basically a

Text based response tree

Which sounds like what you want. In thinking of a static resource that you would assemble and provide to the end-client (young person with anxiety) , it's a similar resource tree being assembled. However, you may want to keep it interactive to allow them to research elements they may not want to disclose to you.
www.marutitech.com/14-powerful-chatbot-platforms/ lists some resources that may be helful.

From my quick googling, it sounds like you want to avoid machine-learning or "intelligent" bots -- you deliberately are trying to keep the info "canned" (just slightly customized) so a lot of these out-of-the-box insta-bots would work.

(You don't want the bot to learn from other anxious/depressed teens to echo back their worst thoughts back to them -- hence keeping it more limited.)
