Be more present with
screen use reduction

Putting down your phone shouldn’t feel this hard.

There’s so much to keep up with. The news, emails, texts, social media. Sometimes it feels like there aren’t enough hours in the day to keep track of it all. Other times, scrolling mindlessly feels like the only escape from hard and uncomfortable things. But constantly scrolling and swiping leaves you feeling depleted, disconnected, and unfulfilled.

You don’t have to let your digital tools rule your life. You can choose how you want to use your screens and how to be intentional with your time and energy. Therapy can help you find the balance between being accessible and online and setting healthy boundaries so you can show up in your real life.

Does this sound like you?

  • Checking messages and alerts every few minutes

  • Scrolling to avoid uncomfortable feelings or tasks

  • Getting caught up in posts and content, even when around others

Without intentional use, technology can overwhelm us.

You might find yourself feeling on edge both when you’re using technology and when you’re not. Even small moments without your device might feel hard to be present in.

Therapy gives you space to identify unhelpful habits, what triggers them, and how they can be changed.

Therapy for screen use can help you:

  • Establish a healthier relationship with screens

  • Identify ways to feel less distracted and more focused

  • Create more meaning in your daily life

  • Find quality replacement activities

  • Improve screen-related sleep challenges

  • Strengthen your relationships in person

Frequently asked questions about screen use reduction

  • Many people wonder if they’re just “normal tech users” or if something deeper is going on. You might benefit from therapy if screen time feels compulsive, is interfering with your relationships, sleep, work, or self-esteem, or if you’ve tried to cut back and feel anxious, irritable, or lost without it.

  • I only work with adults, but modeling healthy relationships with screens is a key part of helping your kids also have healthy relationships with screens. Together, we will help you establish habits around screens that can benefit the whole family.

  • Not unless you want to. My approach isn’t about shame or rigid detoxes—it’s about understanding the "why" behind your habits and helping you build a relationship with screens that supports your mental health, relationships, and goals. You’re in control of the pace and direction of the process.

Let’s rework your relationship with technology and get you back into your life.
