Treatment for Internet Addiction in Grand Rapids, MI—Therapy and Counseling

Thriveworks Grand Rapids provides therapy for Internet addiction, and we have worked with a number of clients who have struggled to control the amount of time they are online or what they do when they are online. Many of the treatment options that are available for behavioral addictions (like gambling or shopping) are also effective for Internet addiction.

Signs of Internet Addiction

Today, almost anyone can be online whenever and wherever they want to be. Smartphones are always in the hand; laptops and tablets can travel anywhere; data is often unlimited. However, long before the Internet was so accessible, mental health professionals were expressing their concern. Some people can handle that access easily. Others have trouble with so much Internet access. In the mid-1990s, Dr. Ivan Goldberg proposed the thought that someone could become addicted to being online, and that thought was received with as a joke. However, within a few years, many realized this was no laughing matter. By the late 1990s, diagnostics and subcategories of Internet addiction had been developed by Dr. Kimberly S. Young.

When an individual displays a minimum of five of the following symptoms, they may be addicted to the Internet:

  1. Stabilizing one’s mood with Internet use.
  2. Difficulty stopping or curbing Internet use.
  3. Lying about how much one is online or what one does online.
  4. Staying online longer than one intended to be there.
  5. Experiencing a preoccupation with the Internet.
  6. Feeling depressed, irritable or moody when unable to go online.
  7. Escalating the amount of time spent online to feel the same level of satisfaction.
  8. Taking personal or professional risks in order to go on the Internet.

Forms of Internet Addiction

Internet addiction can come in many different forms. A few include:

  • Cybersex addiction: Obsessively going to adult websites for porn and sex.
  • Computer addiction: Playing online video games.
  • Cyber-relationship addiction: Over involvement with relationships that are online.
  • Net compulsions: Losing control over how much one is gambling, shopping, or day-trading online.
  • Information addiction: Scrolling through social media, databases, and the web compulsively.
