It isn’t even listed in the DSM-IV-TR, but internet addiction may be listed in the DSM-V, because it’s such a new area of interest. It’s difficult to find someone, but words you want to keep in mind are “video game addiction” and “internet addiction”, because if they work with internet addiction, they likely work with video game addiction as well. So it’s not easy to find someone who specializes in this type of therapy, and will often use an umbrella statement such as “I treat people with addictions”, which they’re capable of, but may not necessarily be good at.
You can try this search and when you call a therapist, be sure to ask what they specialize in:
