15 year DD with low mood

My dd has struggled of late with school/self isolation and lockdown in general and has been experiencing low mood and lack of motivation, which has also been coupled with low appetite, which is worrying.
She is talking to the school counsellor. We do talk about things that are going on but I am also conscious that she may not want to disclose some things to me. She has mentioned feeling low, not sad, not happy but emotionless. She only has a small friendship group and isn't really interested in going out much but has recently got involved with junior coaching for a local football team, to get her our of the house which she enjoys. I just want to ensure I am here for her.
