What kind of doctor can fix my brain?

I have a very specific set of behaviors that I want to seek external assistance to alter, but have no idea how to go about doing so.
It's pretty simple, really. Once I've tucked the kids in bed, I flop down in front of the PC and then those 2-3 hours that are my only time to get non-work, non-family things done waste away. This is like 90% of my nights.
Many years of this have been enough to prove to me that I'm not going to claw my way to self-discipline on my own. So I guess this means... therapy? How do I go about finding the specific kind of skull-doctor that might [a.] help me understand the actual root causes, and [b.] find a viable solution?
I've seen lots of AskMeFi suggestions about what might be the appropriate *type* of therapy (CBT) but not how to turn that concept into an actual person.
