Digital Addictions Coach Certification (NCTAC)

Screen addiction isn’t just a bad habit—it’s a brain hack.

Help People Reclaim Focus, Connection, and Control

Social media spirals, gaming binges, and online compulsions are rewiring how we think, feel, and relate. As a Digital Addiction Coach, you’ll be trained to stop the cycle fast. Whether you're a therapist, coach, or just someone who's seen the damage firsthand, this training equips you with the tools, strategies, and credentials to help clients of all ages

accredited by the following organizations.

Coaching Tailored for the Digital Age with Trauma-Informed Depth

This isn’t just about screens... it’s about the human behind them.

There’s a new kind of crisis unfolding and it’s not just happening in therapy offices. From teens glued to TikTok to adults drowning in email, people are digitally overwhelmed, emotionally disconnected, and craving something real. Most certifications are either too clinical to apply—or too surface-level to matter. This one is different. It’s accredited, deeply practical, and designed for the real world we’re living in right now.

Whether you’ve battled this yourself or you’ve watched someone lose themselves to scrolling, shopping, porn, or gaming—this training helps you turn that insight into impact.

So if you've ever thought...

  • “I want to help people with screen addictions, but I don’t have a degree…”

  • “I’ve been through it. I know how painful this is. I just don’t know how to turn that into a career…”

  • “I want to do work that actually matters and get paid to do it…”

Then this is made for someone like you.

You'll get everything you need to confidently interrupt dopamine-based behavior loops and launch or grow your practice without needing a clinical license

What is a Certified Digital Addiction Coach

The Certified Digital Addiction Coach training is a trauma-informed, internationally accredited program that equips you to help clients break free from screen addiction, digital compulsions, and online identity struggles. You'll learn evidence-based coaching tools to address behaviors like compulsive scrolling, pornography use, online shopping, gaming, and social media burnout while guiding clients toward emotional regulation, self-worth, and real-world reconnection. Designed for coaches, healers, and professionals ready to do meaningful work in a digital-first world, this program gives you the skills, structure, and credential to start making an impact right away.

What is digital or technology addiction?

Technology addiction also known as digital addiction or internet addiction is a compulsive relationship with digital devices, apps, or platforms that interferes with a person’s health, relationships, productivity, or sense of self. It’s often fueled by dopamine loops, emotional avoidance, and engineered engagement (like infinite scroll or reward triggers).

How do I know if I’m addicted to the internet?

If you feel anxious when you’re not online, lose track of time scrolling, hide your screen habits, or use digital devices to escape stress or emotions you’re not alone, and these are all signs of a deeper pattern. Internet addiction isn’t just about time it’s about the impact on your mood, focus, and relationships.

Will this certification help me if I already work in a treatment center or clinical setting?

Absolutely. This certification is a powerful complement to your work in a treatment center or clinical setting. It equips you with specialized tools to address the growing impact of digital addiction something many traditional programs only touch on lightly, if at all. Whether you're supporting clients with co-occurring addictions, mental health concerns, or behavioral challenges, this training gives you language and frameworks to address digital dependency head-on in a way that resonates with today’s clients.

Why would someone choose a coach instead of a therapist or sponsor?

Coaches work in the present-forward—focusing on habits, structure, and support. While therapists often explore the past and clinical diagnoses, and sponsors guide recovery in 12-step settings, Certified Digital Addiction Coaches provide a practical, nonjudgmental approach that bridges real-life behavioral tools with emotional awareness. It’s especially powerful for people who aren’t in crisis but know they need a change.

Do I need a degree or license to take this course?

Nope. You don’t need to be a therapist, clinician, or have a psychology background. This training is designed to equip you with everything you need to ethically and effectively support clients using coaching tools, trauma-informed practices, and real-world strategies.


Can I really get paid doing this work?

Absolutely. Coaches specializing in digital wellness, screen addiction, and digital detox are in rising demand—as parents, professionals, and even therapists seek help for screen-related struggles. Many graduates use this certification to start a new practice, enhance an existing one, or niche down into a highly relevant specialty.

How long does it take to complete the program?

Most students complete the training and earn their certification in 8 to 10 weeks. You’ll have access to on-demand video modules, plus 10 weeks of live mentorship, so you can move at your own pace with expert guidance along the way.
