Internet addiction is when a person spends a significant amount of time using the internet, so much that it interrupts their daily life.
Available Treatment Options
Counseling interventions therapists use may include behavioral techniques that help individuals use the internet less frequently, such as goal setting, thought stopping, and practicing alternative behaviors to lessen the frequency of use.
The goal of therapy is to reduce the behavior, so people may benefit from cognitive, behavioral, or environmental changes depending on their specific situation.
