No major online ED-specific services (like Hims, Lemon Beech, or QuickMD) are widely known to offer comprehensive performance anxiety treatment (such as CBT, sex therapy, or mindfulness) alongside medication; most focus primarily on prescribing PDE5 inhibitors (pills) for erectile dysfunction [4].
However, several online mental health and telehealth platforms treat performance anxiety holistically and can also address ED if needed, offering the combination of therapy and medication you seek:
| Platform | Holistic Anxiety Treatment | ED/Prescription Capability | Why It Fits Your Needs |
|---|---|---|---|
| BetterHelp | ✅ Yes (CBT, sex therapists, remote talk therapy) | ❌ No (therapy only) | Connects you with licensed sex therapists who specialize in sexual performance anxiety and ED, focusing on root causes rather than just pills [6]. |
| K Health | ✅ Yes (K Therapy: text-based CBT, anxiety education) | ✅ Yes (psychiatric meds + ED meds via app) | Offers CBT for anxiety plus prescriptions (including beta-blockers like propranolol and ED meds) in one app, combining therapy and medication [10]. |
| TeleDirectMD | ✅ Yes (MD evaluation for situational anxiety) | ✅ Yes (propranolol for anxiety, not ED) | Ideal for situational performance anxiety (e.g., public speaking); prescribes propranolol but does not treat ED directly [9]. |
| Sesame Care | ✅ Yes (video therapy for anxiety) | ✅ Yes (prescriptions sent locally) | Provides same-day video appointments for performance anxiety with medication options, focusing on stress management [3]. |
| Hims & Hers | ✅ Yes (links to sex therapists, counseling resources) | ✅ Yes (ED meds, PDE5 inhibitors) | While primarily ED-focused, Hims explicitly recommends counseling (CBT, sex therapy) alongside medication and offers access to telehealth sex therapists [4]. |
Key Recommendation:
For the best combination of anxiety therapy + ED medication, use K Health (text-based CBT + prescriptions) or Hims (ED meds + sex therapy referrals). If you prioritize deep therapeutic work with a specialist, BetterHelp is the top choice for connecting with a sex therapist [6].
Note: Avoid services that only dispense pills. True performance anxiety treatment requires psychoeducation, CBT, sensate focus, and partner communication as primary strategies, with medication as a supportive adjunct [1].
