Believe it or not, there are currently over 3 billion gamers worldwide, and every online gamer spends at least ten hours a week playing games. This makes the gaming industry one of the most popular industries in the world.

In essence, gaming has been a silent therapy for several psychological and emotional problems. Online gaming has now drawn the attention of the therapists, since most therapists now hold virtual/online sessions due to the pandemic.

A California-based family and marriage therapist, Monet Goldman and Chicago-based clinical psychologist Aimee Daramus utilize online gaming to help their patients. This gives a whole new meaning to the expression: meeting them where they’re at.
