Internet Addiction Counseling in Colorado

Hours disappearing online without meaning to. Scrolling as an escape from feelings you'd rather not sit with. Relationships and responsibilities quietly slipping while screen time grows. You shouldn't have to manage this alone. Overcomers Counseling offers internet addiction counseling across Colorado Springs, Aurora, Fort Collins, and Pueblo, plus statewide teletherapy.

You Don't Have to Manage This Alone

Excessive internet or screen use is often a way of coping with anxiety, depression, loneliness, or boredom that feels harder to face directly. Our therapists help you understand what's underneath the behavior, not just the screen time itself.

Signs Internet Use May Have Become a Problem

Common signs include losing track of time online, irritability when unable to access devices, neglecting responsibilities or relationships, using the internet to escape difficult emotions, and unsuccessful attempts to cut back. If it feels like it's running the show, support can help.

How Our Therapists Help

Our providers use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help identify triggers, build healthier coping tools, and set boundaries that actually stick. For clients who want it, we also offer faith-integrated counseling.

What is the goal of counseling for internet addiction?

Internet addiction can feel like a digital cage—you’re connected to a virtual world, but disconnected from your own life. The goal of counseling isn’t just to get you offline; it’s to help you reclaim your life and find a new sense of purpose. We’ll work together to help you understand the "why" behind your reliance on the internet and help you find new ways to connect to the world around you. You have the power to live a life that is full and rewarding, and we’re here to help you get there.

Can therapy help me stop my internet addiction?

Yes! Therapy is a powerful tool to help you stop the cycle of internet addiction. Think of it as a guide to help you find your way out of the maze. We'll help you identify the triggers that lead to your compulsive internet use and teach you new coping skills. We’ll also help you find new ways to handle life’s stresses and difficult emotions without turning to the internet. We believe you have the power to change and to find a new way to live.

What are some common signs of internet addiction?

It can be hard to know if you have an internet addiction. But if you’re constantly checking your phone, feeling anxious when you’re not online, or finding that your online life is more important than your real life, it might be a sign that you have a problem. We understand that this is a difficult thing to admit. We'll provide a safe and supportive space for you to explore what’s happening and help you take the first step to a better life.

What is the difference between normal use and addiction?

Normal internet use is like having a healthy hobby—it’s something you enjoy and can easily put down. Internet addiction is when the hobby becomes a compulsive need that you feel you can’t control. It’s when your online life starts to negatively impact your relationships, work, and health. We can work together to help you understand your unique experience and develop a plan to take control.

Barb is incredibly kind and patient. She kept the sessions productive and honest. She made me feel heard and helped with problem-solving.

Hilary Helkenn, PMHNP-BC
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Hilary was lovely. She was kind, patient, incredibly knowledgeable and very validating. She had extensive knowledge of my conditions that most providers dismiss and it was very comforting and encouraging to hear she knew of those conditions and was well informed of them. Best psychiatrist I've had yet. 10/10
