From Screen Time to Real Life: Helping Teens and Young Men Build Healthier Habits Around Social Media

In today’s world, social media is everywhere—and for many teens and young adult men, it’s become the default way to connect, escape, or pass time. But too much screen time can come at a cost. At Las Vegas Therapy, we help young people in Las Vegas set boundaries with social media and reconnect with real life.

The Impact of Social Media Overuse

What starts as casual scrolling can spiral into hours lost each day, disrupted sleep, and a growing sense of anxiety or comparison. Young men may become more isolated, more self-critical, or disconnected from their values and goals.

Common mental health effects of excessive social media use:

  • Low self-esteem or body image issues

  • Anxiety, especially social anxiety

  • Fear of missing out (FOMO)

  • Difficulty focusing or staying motivated

How Therapy Helps Break the Cycle

At Las Vegas Therapy, we help teens and young adults recognize how social media habits affect their mental health—and we teach strategies to create a healthier balance.

Our therapists offer:

  • Mindfulness-based approaches to reduce impulsive scrolling

  • Goal-setting support to refocus attention offline

  • Emotional awareness tools to recognize social media triggers

  • Values-based therapy (such as ACT) to build real-life connection and purpose

We don’t expect clients to give up social media entirely—but we help them use it intentionally, not habitually.

Take Back Your Time and Focus

If you’re tired of feeling distracted, disconnected, or anxious from too much screen time, reach out today. Our affordable therapy services for teens and young adult men are designed to support lasting, real-world change.

You don’t have to go offline to improve your life—but it helps to log back into what really matters.
