Cambridge Internet Addiction Counseling

Internet Addiction in Cambridge, MA—Therapy and Counseling

Ken was fuming. He told his therapist about what happened. Ken was at a his son’s soccer game. He was feeling stressed about work, so Ken pulled out his phone. He wanted to catch up on some email. Before he knew it, the game was over, and he and his son were driving home. Ken’s son, however, was clearly upset. He yelled at Ken that he is always on his phone or laptop. Ken’s son said that he is never there because he’s always online. Ken told his therapist that his son’s accusation is very unfair. Ken tries his best to be good at his job and be there for his family. Yes, he is on his phone a lot, but why is that a problem? Ken’s therapist said that is a great question. In order to help Ken get more information about what he may or may not be facing, his therapist asked him to pay attention to when he was using the Internet on his laptop or phone. Next week, Ken’s therapist asked how it went. Ken, like many people, was struggling. He was online almost all the time, even until late at the night. Ken’s therapist let him know what Internet addiction was, and they devised a place for him to regain control over when and where he was online.

“Technology can be our best friend, and technology can also be the biggest party pooper of our lives. It interrupts our own story, interrupts our ability to have a thought or a daydream, to imagine something wonderful, because we’re too busy bridging the walk from the cafeteria back to the office on the cell phone.”
—Steven Spielberg

Ken is not the only one who is using the Internet compulsively. When people are addicted to the Internet they may have trouble regulating when, where, and how long they are online. They may also have difficulty controlling what they are doing online. In many ways, Internet addiction is very similar to other behavior-based addictions, like gambling and shopping. Those similarities include symptoms, but they also include treatments. Internet addiction is a serious mental health challenge, but there are treatments available.

Thriveworks Cambridge has helped many people who are struggling to unplug, and we have guided them toward the resources and support they needed to regain control.

Going Online Compulsively

Data plans are often unlimited, and Internet is often high-speed. Wifi is now on planes and in cars and pretty much anywhere and everywhere. Without question, people are online more and more. Internet addiction, however, is not always about access. Mental health professionals first introduced the idea that using the Internet could be addictive in the mid-1990s—in the days of dial-up. The criteria for recognizing compulsive Internet use was also developed in the late 1990s by Dr. Kimberly S. Young. She proposed that an individual who displayed at least five of the following signs may be addicted to the Internet. These signs overlap substantially with other types of addiction:

  • Risk: Jeopardizing one’s career, relationships, finances, and more in order to use the Internet or with what one does online.
  • Obsession: Being engrossed with the Internet and thinking about it constantly.
  • Lost Control: Staying online longer than one intended to be there—losing track of where one has been or how long one has been there.
  • Escalation: In order to reach a feeling of satisfaction, taking greater risk or spending more time online.
  • Deception: Lying about the Internet—when, where, and how much one is online; what one does online; minimizing the effects of one’s Internet use, et cetera.
  • Self-medication: Going online to adjust one’s mood or to numb hard feelings.
  • Difficult Emotions: Experiencing irritability, moodiness, or depression when not online.
  • Failed Attempts to Quit: Wanting to quit or curb one’s Internet use, but being unable to do so.

There are several sub-categories of Internet addiction. In can manifest in unique ways in each individual. For some, Internet can look like lost control over online gambling, day-trading, or shopping. For others, it may look like compulsive pornography use or video gaming. It may even look like thoughtlessly scrolling through websites and social media. Whatever form the compulsion may take, there are treatments available. Just as the addiction can manifest differently in each individual’s life, so the best treatment is often tailored to an individual’s need. That treatment often includes a form of therapy, medication, and/or support group.

Dr. Shinohara is my first mental health professional I am seeing. It has been an amazing experience so far.

Open, present, and caring are essential

★★★★★
Open, present, and caring are essential to providing meaningful and helpful therapy. These are the natural gifts that Emily Schoenborn brings to her practice, and one of the reasons I highly recommend my colleague and fellow traveller. I might add non-judgmental (not because she's supposed to be but is), curious, and invested in her work as well, her client's welfare and well-being the constant, underlying goal throughout the therapeutic experience. Emily is the kind of therapist whose first impression on the client is in putting immediately to rest the initial fears and uncertainty that usually attend such endeavor. It's the kind of beginning that augers well for the work ahead.

My therapist was great

My therapist was great. The only problem was I was not given the access code to the building and I had to wait for someone to enter the building. The doorbell to the office is useless because there is no receptionist.

therapy is a journey

★★★★☆
The building sometimes smells weird, but having been a resident of Boston for a long time, I know real estate isn’t always easiest to come by. So far my meetings haven’t yielded as many practical results as I’ve wanted, but I know that therapy is a journey, and just speaking to someone about my issues has been therapeutic in it’s own way.

MS

★★☆☆☆
HI - I was dismayed to learn that in addition to the on-boarding fee of $99 there is now an additional concierge fee of $29 per month. This in addition to whatever co-insurance or deductible a plan may have. I have referred college students to you for years and am hoping you can help me understand this change which amounts to a $450 annual charge. That is significant for students who are many times struggling to pay for food and daily needs. You have great therapists and I wish I could continue to refer to them. Regards, Faith

Therapist was chosen

★★☆☆☆
Therapist was chosen for me with no regard to speciality. - Calls repeatedly dropped when attempting to contact main number.
Thriveworks Counseling Cambridge (872)

I was very

★★☆☆☆
I was very unimpressed with the level of professionalism my therapist showed. I arrived on time for the appointment and had to wait 10 minutes for him to arrive in the office. I found it strange when I was sitting beside a poster that said 97% of our appointments start on time. He never apologized or even acknowledged that he was running behind. When he entered the office, he didn't know my name to greet me - it was kind of like he hadn't remembered he had a session scheduled. As we started talking, I went over my reasons for coming, but he never asked general get to know you questions, things that I feel are important for establishing a baseline relationship and are also important to understand a person. He never asked what I did for a living, or anything about my relationship (which was the main reason I came in to talk), which all seemed a little strange. I can appreciate wanting to get to the root of the problems, but finding a therapist is a big enough leap of faith, and I wanted to feel comfortable and welcome, which I didn't.

★★★☆☆
Had a very poor experience with my first therapist, causing me to leave during the session and was never followed up on. I have recently met with a new therapist who I feel is much more professional and could be a better fit. I am hesitant after my last experience but looking forward to this new relationship.

Good Session

★★★☆☆
It was a good session for my first time. However, at the end it felt like it was optional to come back or proceed. It was hard for me to get a feel if this is something I would benefit from or had a connection with the therapist.

Shabby look and feel.
Thriveworks Counseling Cambridge (872)

So far, ok.

★★★☆☆
So far, ok. Little less than impressed with the selection of a therapist when making appointment. Russ seemed like a great guy and appropriately suggested he reviewmy son's case for a better fit. Waiting to hear back. We were 15 minutes early and appointment started more than 10 minutes late, so toss us into the 3%! Would be helpful if more info on parking and what to expect upon arrival for first appointment (or maybe I missed it).

Kathleen Laikos is the best.

★★★★★
I reluctantly went to a therapist at Thriveworks. I had a common misconception in my head that they'll just sit there on a yellow-lined, OfficeMax notepad while doodling and ask "how does that make you feel?" every couple of minutes. Which, for any person in the 21st century that has a brain, is infuriating. Lo and behold, this was my first impression at Thriveworks. I showed up and met with an old, white dude in his 60s or 70s that just sat in his chair, 'writing' in his notebook, and asking me how I felt. The beginning of the session started with him asking me "How are you?" My response, "I'm f***ing here so it can't be that great, can it?" Towards the end of that session he asked me about my relationship with my parents and it devolved into this completely Freudian based bullshit. The guy obviously hadn't kept up-to-date on his profession, and came off as ignorant, condescending, and just a general moron. I wish I could remember his name so you could avoid this buffoon at all costs. But I digress... I cycled through three more therapists/counselors like this. I felt like they were idiots and not really listening or trying to help, but I needed an impartial third party to talk to while I was going through major life changes I'd never faced before so I stuck it out and kept giving it another shot. Finally, I met with Kathleen. With her thick Boston accent, no bullshit demeanor, and most importantly, someone I could talk to on a similar intellectual playing field, I felt I had met my match. I'm a pretty brusque individual, and don't let a lot of people in. Kathleen tore down that wall like it was 1989 in Germany. She helped me face my issues head on, and change for the better in what was the most difficult and emotionally taxing time in my life. Let me be clear on one thing: If you're looking for someone to hold your hand through your issues and just make you 'feel better', Kathleen is not your person. If that's what you want, go get a pet. Kathleen will ask pointed, challenging questions for you to internalize and come back to her with your thoughts. I left that office so many times and just sat on the steps smoking a cigarette trying to process my thoughts and emotions based on our session. Kathleen is not afraid to call you out when you're being unreasonable. She'll relate to you and empathize with your issues; she's seen some shit in her day, that's for sure. I can count on one hand the number of times she asked me 'how does that make you feel?' in the almost two years I saw her. And when she did, it was an appropriate, empathetic, and serious question she was asking. Kathleen really did help me when I felt nobody else could. She allowed me to get a fresh lease on life. If it wasn't for her, I'd probably be facedown in a gutter somewhere. Instead, I've moved to a city I've always wanted to be in, started a new job at a dream company, and have successfully cut out every toxic person in my life and only focus on positive relationships in my life. Of course, being the kind souled and humble individual she is, she would say that all of that positivity is my doing. But without her guidance and support, I couldn't have done it without her. I'm truly grateful to have had her as a positive light in my life, and will never forget the things she's taught me.
Thriveworks Counseling Cambridge (872)

Style over substance

★☆☆☆☆
Thriveworks charged a $99 fee for additional access to your therapist that, in my experience is available without this charge in every other place I've gotten therapy. Additionally, my therapist was a terrible fit, but since none of the others accepted my insurance I didn't have access to any of the other therapist. Kathylene Southard repeatedly ignored my input in my sessions, and numerous times inserted her own belief system into out sessions. I wish I'd left sooner.

★★★★★
Super helpful, easy to schedule. Russ was great. Only problem was finding the place.
