Atmospheric pressure helium plasmas are investigated employing molecular dynamics simulations at room temperature (300 K) for various ionization fractions ($χ_i = 10^{-1} - 10^{-5}$) in the strongly coupled regime (ion coupling parameter, $Γ_i \sim 1 - 10$). The role of electron screening in ion dynamics and energetics is examined through ion and gas temperatures, mean squared displacement of ions, ion coupling parameter, and radial distribution function of the system by implementing both Coulomb and Yukawa potentials for ionic interactions. It is found that electron screening in the Yukawa potential limits the disorder-induced heating (DIH) mechanism and the coupling strength of the ions significantly for strongly ionized plasmas (ionization fraction, $χ_i$ $\ge 10^{-3}$). Whereas, the ions show a prominent sub-diffusive behavior for the Coulomb potential that is associated with the DIH mechanism. DIH is explained using a simplified model based on energy conservation. Moreover, the screening effect affects the separation distance and arrangement of the ion-neutral pairs for all the values of $χ_i$.
