Guy J Iacono
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Gambling problems rarely start as problems. They often begin as entertainment, a way to unwind, a rush that offers relief from stress or boredom or something harder to name. Over time, for some people, it shifts. The losses get harder to walk away from, the urge to chase them grows stronger, and what started as recreation starts costing real things: money, relationships, trust, and self-respect.
Problem gambling is one of the more isolating struggles a person can face. The shame around it tends to run deep, and the secrecy that develops around it can make everything worse. Most people dealing with it have already tried to stop or cut back on their own. The fact that it keeps happening is not a matter of willpower. It is a pattern with real psychological and behavioral roots that responds well to focused, structured treatment.
In our work together, we look honestly at the role gambling has played, what has been driving it, and what has made it difficult to stop. We build concrete strategies for managing urges, address the underlying stress, anxiety, or emotional patterns that feed the behavior, and work on repairing the areas of life that have taken the hit.
My approach is direct and nonjudgmental. I have worked with people navigating substance misuse and behavioral patterns for over a decade and understand how these cycles work and what it actually takes to break them.
If gambling has become something you are managing in secret or something that has started to cost you more than you want to admit, I invite you to schedule a free 15-minute consultation.

For many, gambling is a recreation. For some it is pathological. For the latter the problem needs to be treated like any other addiction.

Nour Counseling
Counselor/Therapist
Gambling can start as entertainment, a way to cope, or even a sense of possibility—but over time, it can become something that’s harder to control and harder to talk about. Many people find themselves caught in cycles of chasing losses, secrecy, financial stress, and the emotional highs and lows that come with it. There’s often shame attached, especially when others don’t understand or when it’s been framed as a lack of discipline rather than something more complex. Cultural factors can also play a role—how gambling is normalized in certain spaces, how risk and success are viewed, or the pressures that make quick financial relief feel necessary.
At Nour Counseling, we approach gambling with honesty and without judgment. We work with you to understand the patterns—what pulls you in, what keeps you there, and what makes it hard to step away. From there, we actively build strategies to interrupt the cycle, reduce harm, and create more stability, including practical supports around urges, finances, and decision-making. We also address the emotional and contextual layers—stress, escape, identity, and systemic pressures—so you’re not just trying to “white-knuckle” change. This is about helping you regain a sense of control, clarity, and direction in a way that actually feels sustainable.

Carrie Gauthier
Hypnotherapist, Certified Clinical Hypnotherapist, CCHt
Gambling, like all addictions, can be eliminated by those serious about quitting. Using a powerful and transformative hypnotic protocol, we work through the emotions and beliefs associated with the root cause memory, process it, and reframe and rewire with the new healthy ways of being instead. This has a very liberating effect and once this burden is off your back, you can finally move forward without self-sabotage. No more taking two steps forward, five steps back. It is time to move forward again; do this with the new hardwire we install together.
