Introduction

Internet and gaming addiction is my focus, and I am good at what I do. You might be wondering, "How can a therapist help me with my gaming or internet addiction?" Well, overcoming these addictions requires an out-of-the-box approach. Typically, in therapy, I deal with relationships between people, but with internet and gaming addiction, I focus on the relationship between you and your digital habits. This unique perspective sets my approach apart from traditional CBT-based therapies. Internet and gaming addiction is more than just limiting screen time or setting boundaries. You already know what you should do; what you need help with is how to actually take back control. To do that, you need to fundamentally rethink your relationship with the digital world. By understanding internet and gaming addiction through a relational lens, I provide a specialized approach that goes beyond standard strategies. I help you navigate the complexities of these addictions, offering practical, actionable insights tailored to your unique situation. With my coaching, you’ll learn how to regain control over your online habits and improve your overall quality of life.
