Knowing that you were willing to listen was probably really important to her. Most teens need someone to help them put things in perspective and wade through the chaos they often create for themselves. I don't know this young person so as a general comment I'd guess I would just say be aware of triangulation with her parents or even her friends. Teens have a way of making everything a momentary drama and then moving on to the next crisis. And then they go back to things and wonder why they aren't solved or why things haven't changed!
I hope your agency offers trainings or at least readings, to help you feel more secure in your work. It sounds like you are providing some very important support.
Good Luck.
