CBT for porn and masturbation addiction
I’m looking for professional support to help me address my dependence on pornography and masturbation. I would like to work with a nonjudgmental therapist with whom I can speak openly about my experiences, including my arousal patterns and the behaviors that contribute to my addiction.
I’m specifically seeking audio-only consultations, as I don’t feel very comfortable discussing this over video calls. Late evening sessions would work best for me due to my work schedule, and that’s also the time when I tend to struggle most with urges and intrusive thoughts.
It’s important to me to find someone who is compassionate, open-minded, and able to help me open up by asking thoughtful questions and taking the time to understand my patterns and triggers.

Thank you for sharing your concerns so openly. I appreciate your willingness to seek help — it’s a very important first step. We can work together using a non-judgmental and confidential CBT approach to understand your triggers, arousal patterns, and intrusive thoughts, and gradually build healthier coping strategies.
Audio-only sessions are absolutely fine, and we can schedule sessions in the late evening as per your comfort and availability. If you feel comfortable, we can start with an initial consultation to understand your goals and create a personalized plan for you.
