increasing prevalence of technology in the lives of young people has coincided with a rise in tech-stress, encompassing a range of mental health challenges linked to excessive technology use. Research has demonstrated the efficacy of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) in addressing various mental health issues, and its application to tech-stress in children and adolescents is a growing area of focus. Several studies have shown promising results for CBT in reducing tech-stress symptoms in young people. For example, a study by Kuss, D. J., &amp; Griffiths, M. D. (2011), found that adolescents who received CBT for excessive social media use experienced significant reductions in anxiety and depression compared to a control group. Studies have highlighted the effectiveness of cognitive restructuring techniques within CBT. Young, J. S., &amp; Leary, M. R. (1987), demonstrated that helping adolescents identify and challenge negative thoughts related to social media comparisons significantly improved their self-esteem and reduced social anxiety. Research has shown that behavioral techniques, such as setting time limits for screen time and developing alternative activities, are crucial components of successful CBT interventions for tech-stress. Elhai, J. D., Levine, J. M., &amp; Spira, A. P. (2010), found that implementing a behavior modification plan, in conjunction with cognitive restructuring, led to significant reductions in screen time and improvements in sleep quality. Some studies have explored the benefits of integrating mindfulness practices into CBT for tech-stress. Shapiro, S. L., Carlson, L. E., Astin, J. A., &amp; Freedman, B. (2006), found that mindfulness-based CBT interventions were particularly effective in reducing anxiety and improving attention in adolescents with high levels of technology use. Research emphasizes the importance of parental involvement in the treatment of tech-stress. Jelenchick, L. A., &amp; Weinstein, N. D.

offers a valuable approach to addressing tech-stress in children and adolescents. By targeting maladaptive thoughts, behaviors, and emotions related to technology use, CBT can help young people develop healthier technology habits, improve mental well-being, and thrive in an increasingly digital world. Continued research and development of innovative CBT-based interventions are crucial to ensure that young people can navigate the challenges of the digital age while maximizing the benefits of technology.<\/span><\/p><p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height:1.7999999999999998;text-align: justify;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;\"><span style=\"font-size:12pt;font-family:Cambria,serif;color:#000000;background-color:transparent;font-weight:700;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre;white-space:pre-wrap;\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/p><p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height:1.7999999999999998;text-align: justify;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;\"><span style=\"font-size:12pt;font-family:Cambria,serif;color:#000000;background-color:transparent;font-weight:700;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre;white-space:pre-wrap;\">References<\/span><\/p><ol style=\"margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0;padding-inline-start:48px;\"><li dir=\"ltr\" style=\"list-style-type:decimal;font-size:12pt;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;color:#000000;background-color:transparent;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre;margin-left: -18pt;\" aria-level=\"1\"><p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height:1.7999999999999998;text-align: justify;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;\" role=\"presentation\"><span style=\"font-size:12pt;font-family:Cambria,serif;color:#000000;background-color:transparent;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre;white-space:pre-wrap;\">Kuss, D.
