Summary

What are therapists seeing behind closed doors when it comes to boys, screens, and the internet? In this episode of Parents Uncharted, Sarah sits down with licensed therapist, parenting coach, and founder of Project LookUp, Tessa Stuckey, to talk about the growing impact of digital culture on young people’s mental health. Drawing from years of working directly with teens and families, Tessa shares what she began noticing in her therapy practice long before the conversation went mainstream: rising anxiety, depression, and emotional struggles often connected to excessive screen use and the pressures of life online. Together, Sarah and Tessa explore the real influence of social media, AI, and digital culture on child development- including the growing concerns around boys, online pornography, and how algorithm-driven platforms are shaping behavior, expectations, and identity. They also discuss how parents can begin setting healthier digital boundaries at home, have honest conversations about difficult online topics, and help their children build resilience, confidence, and real-world social skills in a screen-saturated world.
