Generally that sort of therapy doesn't work. I tried to do a meta-analysis of conversion therapies several years ago then dropped the effort About 80% of all the published studies were uncontrolled case studies - not much better than anectdotes. Those that were actual therapeutic studies were typically conducted so poorly that there was no indication that anything really worked. I found maybe 2 or 3 adquately conducted behavioral studies that could almost have been included, there was no followup. In general the few I found that were good enough to be included in the analysis found no effect.
