Chris McMullen

Chris McMullen, LPC

You’ve built a life that looks successful from the outside. You set goals, and you reach them. But there’s one area where willpower hasn’t been enough. The secrecy around pornography is starting to cost you your focus, your confidence, and your closeness with the people you love.

Chris McMullen is a Licensed Professional Counselor at Anew Counseling DFW. He works with high-achieving people who are ready to take back control from porn addiction. His work starts from a simple belief: you already have what it takes to overcome this, and with the right support, you can.

Why Driven People Get Stuck, and How to Get Free

Many of Chris’s clients are used to doing well at work, at home, and with every goal they set. Porn addiction doesn’t fit that picture, which is often why it stays hidden for so long. Chris knows how hard it can be to ask for help with something that carries so much shame. In his individual therapy sessions you won’t be judged or lectured. You’ll be heard, and you’ll leave with a clear path forward.

Proven Tools, Tailored to You

Chris shapes therapy around your needs and goals. Depending on where you are, your sessions may include:

  • Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to spot and change the thought patterns that drive compulsive behavior
  • EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) to work through painful experiences that may sit underneath the addiction
  • Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) to loosen the stuck beliefs that keep old hurts active
  • Gottman Method for Couples to rebuild trust and connection when the addiction has affected your relationship

When Your Marriage Feels the Weight Too

Addiction rarely affects only one person. If your marriage or relationship doesn’t feel the way it used to, Chris offers couples counseling to help you and your partner understand what’s happened, repair the damage, and find your way back to each other.

A Compassionate, Judgment-Free Space

Chris brings warmth and steadiness to every session, so you can say what’s true without worrying about how it sounds. He is a member of the Christian Counselors of Texas and the Fort Worth Area Association for Marriage and Family Therapists. Most of all, he wants you to know you’re not alone in this.
