West Houston Counseling Center

Screen Addiction Therapy

Welcome to WHCC, where we specialize in providing screen addiction therapy for individuals struggling with overuse of screens, gaming, etc. Our therapists understand the unique complexities of growing up in a digital age and are dedicated to helping individuals navigate these challenges.


Understanding Screen Addiction Therapy:

 Overuse and Behavioral Challenges:

In today’s digital world, children and teens are exposed to screens and online activities from a young age, leading to concerns about overuse and its impact on mental health and well-being. Our screen addiction therapy helps individuals explore their relationship with screens and gaming.  


Anger and Non-Compliance:

Many children, teens, and young adults struggle with screen overuse and may exhibit anger and non-compliance when asked to get off screens. These behaviors can be driven by underlying emotional issues, such as difficulty regulating emotions, low self-esteem, or a need for control. We work with children and teens to identify triggers and develop coping strategies to manage their emotions.


Daily Tasks and Responsibilities:

Screen overuse and other addictions (shopping) can also impact a child or teen’s ability to complete everyday tasks and responsibilities, such as bathing, brushing teeth, and homework. Our counseling services provide support for children and teens struggling with non-compliance in daily tasks, helping them develop routines, set goals, and build motivation.


Using Screens or Shopping for Emotional Regulation:

For some children and teens, screens and shopping may serve as a way to cope with stress, anxiety, or low mood, providing a temporary escape or distraction from difficult emotions. We help children and teens identify healthier coping mechanisms and develop strategies for regulating their emotions without relying on screens or shopping. We provide tools for building resilience, managing stress, and fostering self-soothing skills.


Empowering Children and Teens:

At WHCC, we believe in empowering children and teens to make positive changes in their lives and develop the skills they need to thrive in today’s world. Through personalized therapy sessions we help children and teens build resilience, improve self-esteem, and develop healthier habits and coping strategies.


No matter what challenges your child or teen may be facing, our counseling services are here to provide the support and guidance they need to overcome screen overuse, gaming addiction, shopping addiction, and related behavioral challenges. Take the first step towards a healthier and happier future by reaching out to our center today.
