This article aims to discuss the process of psychotherapy, based on human relations with technology, that is, the insertion of the virtual universe, the digital world in the psychic development and in the production of illness in the most diverse scenarios in contemporary times. In the light of Vygotsky’s cultural-historical psychology, we understand that psychotherapy has gone through important processes of change to meet different demands such as anxiety, which, presented as a personal or singular complaint, can indicate historical, social and cultural processes naturalized in the globalized and digital capitalist society. Another aspect to be considered in psychotherapy is the illness based on family relationships in current experiences with this digital world. Another relevant scenario to understand these relationships is in the field of education that also crosses the formation of the individual from childhood to adolescence. In this sense, our reflections are based on an understanding of what Vygotsky called the individual’s social genesis, which can only be understood in the apprehension of the mediation relations that historically constitute them
