🔍 What Is Technology Addiction?

Digital addiction goes beyond “liking your phone too much.” It’s when technology use becomes compulsive and difficult to stop, even when it causes harm. This can include:

  • Video game overuse

  • Social media scrolling for hours

  • Binge streaming or compulsive online shopping

  • Constant phone-checking or notifications anxiety

  • Using screens to avoid responsibilities or emotions

It’s not about counting minutes—it’s about the loss of control, purpose, and balance.

🚨 Signs You May Be Dealing with Tech Overuse

  • Irritability or restlessness when you can’t access your device

  • Staying up late to game, scroll, or stream

  • Pulling away from friends, family, and offline hobbies

  • Using tech to manage stress, loneliness, or boredom

  • Drop in work or school performance

  • Sleep disruption and mood swings

  • Feeling guilty or worried about your tech use—but unable to stop

💡 Why It Happens

For both teens and adults, technology can become a way to numb emotions, escape pressures, or feel in control. We often see underlying issues such as:

  • Anxiety, depression, or chronic stress

  • Low self-esteem or social insecurity

  • Relationship conflict or family tension

  • Academic or career pressure

  • Trauma or unresolved emotional pain

Our approach focuses on understanding the “why” behind the behavior—not just unplugging devices.

🛠️ How We Help You Regain Balance

Our licensed therapists create a safe, nonjudgmental space to explore your relationship with technology. We design therapy plans that fit your age, needs, and goals—whether that means cutting back, setting boundaries, or completely breaking free.

Treatment may include:

  • CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy) – Change unhelpful thought patterns driving overuse

  • DBT (Dialectical Behavior Therapy) – Strengthen emotional regulation and reduce impulse-driven scrolling or gaming

  • Mindfulness & ACT – Increase presence, focus, and intentional living

  • Family Therapy & Parent Coaching – For youth clients, to rebuild communication and healthy limits

  • Support for Co-Occurring Concerns – Address anxiety, depression, trauma, or stress fueling tech dependency

👨‍👩‍👧 For Parents of Tweens & Teens

  • Tech overuse is rarely “just laziness.” It’s often an emotional coping tool.

  • Taking devices away without support can lead to power struggles, secrecy, or deeper withdrawal.

  • Therapy helps kids and teens understand their triggers, build self-control, and discover fulfilling offline activities.
