Summary

This study tested whether online group cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) can help people with cybersex addiction or online sexual compulsivity. 86 participants were assigned to group therapy, individual therapy, or a waitlist. The group therapy involved 12 weekly online sessions focused on changing thoughts and behaviors. Researchers compared outcomes to see if group therapy is a viable treatment option.
