Verbatim response from Perplexity
Several online ED services integrate mental health care (therapy or psychiatry) to treat performance anxiety alongside prescribing medication, rather than just offering pills. The most prominent options include Hims & Hers, Ro (Roman), and Lemonaid Health, which function as "one-stop shops" for both pharmacologic and psychotherapeutic support.
Top Integrated Services
These platforms offer ED evaluation and prescriptions while providing access to licensed therapists or psychiatrists specifically for anxiety:

Specialized Therapy Options (If You Prefer Specialists)
If you want a therapist who specializes specifically in sexual health rather than a general platform:
- BetterHelp and Talkspace: These are therapy-first platforms (no prescribing) with large networks where you can specifically select clinicians experienced in sexual performance anxiety or CBT for anxiety. You would pair one of these with a separate telemedicine ED service for medication if needed [1].
- AASECT Directory: Search for AASECT-certified sex therapists. These specialists focus specifically on performance anxiety and sexual dysfunction, often proving the most effective option for long-standing or relationship-related problems [1].
- Grouport Therapy: Offers online group, individual, and couples therapy specifically for sexual performance anxiety to help rebuild confidence and develop skills to be present during intimate moments [6].
- The Therapy Yard (UK): Provides access to registered psychosexual therapists who specialize in erectile and performance-related concerns to reduce anxiety and increase self-confidence [7].
How Treatment Works
Unlike quick-prescription pharmacies (e.g., LloydsPharmacy Online Doctor) that only mention pills may reduce anxiety by giving confidence, these integrated services actively treat the root cause:
- Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT): Used to break the self-reinforcing cycle where fear of failure leads to erectile difficulties [4].
- Sex Therapy: Focuses on psychological patterns, sensate focus, and mindfulness to help you be present rather than trapped in anxious thinking [4][6].
- Holistic Assessment: Medical teams assess if a psychological component is significant before prescribing, ensuring the treatment plan addresses underlying causes [2].
