“The clients who work well with me are those who may be self aware, or knowledgeable about therapy techniques, but do not have the tools to make the improvements they already know they need to make. I also help my clients see things from different perspectives in order to fully understand the situations they've experienced and why they react the way they do. Clients who come to me often struggle with family dynamics, perhaps they are the scapegoat, or the helper/fixer of their family. Often my clients have experienced abuse of some sort, be it childhood, adulthood, religious, or sexual. The clients I most enjoy helping are those who struggle to feel seen, to understand why they are constantly treated poorly, and why no one seems to understand what they are feeling. These clients also often struggle with behaviors they can't seem to stop or prevent.”

“Relationships can be one of the greatest sources of joy in our lives—but they can also leave us feeling disconnected, misunderstood, or stuck. I work with couples and individuals navigating mismatched sex drives, communication challenges, intimacy concerns, anxiety, relational stress, and life transitions. Together, we explore the patterns keeping you stuck and build healthier ways of connecting with yourself and others. I provide affirming, nonjudgmental care for clients in polyamorous, ethically non-monogamous, open, kink, and BDSM relationships, as well as LGBTQIA+ individuals and couples. Whether you're rebuilding trust, exploring changing sexual needs, or strengthening your relationship, therapy is tailored to your unique goals—not someone else's expectations. Above all, I strive to create a warm, collaborative space where you feel genuinely seen, understood, and supported as you build the relationships and life you want.”

About Sex Therapy

Online sex therapy is talk-based mental health support for people who want help with sexual concerns, intimacy, communication, desire, shame, identity, trauma, relationship patterns, or changes in sexual wellbeing. It can be useful for individuals, couples, and partners who want a private, respectful space to better understand what is happening and work toward healthier, more connected experiences.

Therapy Expanded helps you compare online therapists who offer sex therapy by state, specialty, therapy approach, insurance, language, and availability. Sex therapy does not involve sexual contact, physical touch, or physical exams; sessions focus on conversation, education, emotional support, communication, and practical next steps. If your main concern is relationship conflict or communication with a partner, couples counseling may also be helpful. If you are looking for one-on-one support around anxiety, trauma, self-esteem, identity, or emotional patterns, individual therapy may be a better fit.

What to Know About Online Sex Therapy

Sex therapy is a specialized form of talk therapy that helps people address concerns related to sex, intimacy, identity, relationships, desire, arousal, sexual anxiety, body image, shame, communication, boundaries, or past experiences that affect sexual wellbeing.

People seek sex therapy for many different reasons. Some want support around mismatched desire, difficulty talking about sex, performance anxiety, pain or discomfort, changes after pregnancy or menopause, erectile or orgasm concerns, religious or cultural shame, sexual trauma, infidelity, pornography-related concerns, compulsive sexual behavior, dating, identity exploration, or rebuilding intimacy after a difficult season.

Online sex therapy can be a good option for people who prefer the privacy of meeting from home. Depending on the provider and your goals, sessions may focus on education, emotional processing, communication skills, relationship patterns, nervous system regulation, values, boundaries, or referrals to medical providers when physical symptoms may need additional evaluation.

Sex therapy is not about judgment, pressure, or telling you what your sex life “should” look like. A good sex therapist helps you explore your concerns at a pace that feels appropriate, with respect for your identity, values, relationship structure, culture, boundaries, and consent.

How Online Sex Therapy Works

Online sex therapy usually begins with an intake session where the therapist asks about your concerns, goals, relationship history, relevant medical or mental health history, and what you hope will change. You do not have to share every detail right away. Many people begin with broad concerns and become more specific as trust develops.

Sessions are conversation-based. Your therapist may help you identify patterns, talk through difficult emotions, improve communication with a partner, reduce shame, build confidence, or better understand how stress, trauma, anxiety, body image, health changes, or relationship dynamics may be affecting intimacy.

If you attend with a partner, sessions may include guided conversations about expectations, desire, boundaries, emotional safety, trust, and communication. If you attend individually, therapy may focus on your own experiences, beliefs, fears, needs, identity, or relationship patterns.

Some therapists may suggest between-session reflection, communication exercises, mindfulness practices, journaling, or non-explicit intimacy-building exercises. Any suggested practice should be collaborative, consent-based, and appropriate to your comfort level.

Because some sexual concerns can involve medical factors, a sex therapist may also encourage you to speak with a physician, gynecologist, urologist, pelvic floor physical therapist, psychiatrist, or other healthcare provider when symptoms may benefit from medical evaluation or coordinated care.

How to Find the Right Online Sex Therapist

When choosing an online sex therapist, look for a licensed mental health provider who has experience with the concerns you want to address. Some providers have additional training or certification in sex therapy, trauma-informed care, couples therapy, LGBTQIA+ affirming care, relationship diversity, pelvic pain, compulsive sexual behavior, or other specialized areas.

Therapy Expanded lets you review provider profiles for location, licensure, specialties, therapy approaches, insurance, session format, and availability. Since telehealth rules vary by state, choose a therapist who is licensed to provide care where you are located at the time of your session.

It can also be helpful to look for a therapist whose profile language feels respectful, clear, and aligned with your needs. Sex therapy can involve vulnerable conversations, so fit matters. You may want to consider whether the therapist works with individuals, couples, or partners; whether they name your specific concern; whether they have experience with your identity or relationship structure; and whether they describe their approach in a way that feels safe and collaborative.

If your concerns involve trauma, coercion, ongoing abuse, or feeling unsafe in a relationship, look for a therapist with experience in trauma-informed care and safety planning. If your concerns involve physical pain, medication side effects, hormonal changes, or other medical symptoms, consider a therapist who is comfortable coordinating with medical providers when appropriate.

Before you book

  • Ask about the provider’s experience with your concerns and goals.
  • Confirm availability, session fees, and your insurance coverage directly.
  • Check that the provider can work with you in each state where you will attend sessions.

Frequently Asked Questions About Online Sex Therapy

What is sex therapy?

Sex therapy is a form of talk therapy that focuses on sexual concerns, intimacy, communication, identity, desire, shame, relationship patterns, trauma, or emotional barriers that affect sexual wellbeing. It is conducted by a licensed mental health provider, and some therapists have additional specialized training in sex therapy.

Sex therapy does not involve sexual contact, physical touch, nudity, or physical exams. Sessions are based on conversation, education, emotional support, and collaborative goal-setting.

Who can benefit from sex therapy?

Sex therapy may help individuals, couples, and partners who want support with intimacy, desire differences, sexual anxiety, body image, shame, communication, trust, boundaries, pain or discomfort, sexual trauma, identity, compulsive sexual behavior, infidelity, changes after childbirth or menopause, or changes related to health, stress, medication, or aging.

You do not need to be in a relationship to benefit from sex therapy. Many people use individual sex therapy to better understand their own experiences, needs, values, identity, or patterns.

Is sex therapy only for couples?

No. Sex therapy can be helpful for individuals, couples, and partners. Individual sex therapy may focus on personal concerns such as anxiety, shame, trauma, identity, body image, desire, confidence, or past experiences. Couples or partner-based sex therapy may focus on communication, desire differences, trust, intimacy, boundaries, or rebuilding connection.

If your primary concern is broader relationship conflict, couples counseling may also be helpful. If your concern is more personal or emotional, individual therapy may be a better starting point.

What happens during an online sex therapy session?

During online sex therapy, you meet with a licensed therapist through secure video sessions. The therapist may ask about your concerns, goals, relationship history, emotional wellbeing, sexual history, health factors, and what you hope to change. You can share at your own pace.

Sessions may include education, emotional processing, communication support, values clarification, coping strategies, boundary-setting, or guided conversations with a partner. Any between-session exercises should be discussed collaboratively and should never involve pressure or anything outside your comfort level.

Will I have to talk about explicit details right away?

No. You can begin with what feels comfortable. A sex therapist may ask questions to better understand your concerns, but you should be able to move at a pace that feels respectful and safe. Many people start by talking about emotions, relationship patterns, communication, anxiety, or general concerns before discussing more specific details.

A good therapist should explain why they are asking sensitive questions and should respect your boundaries throughout the process.

Can sex therapy help with desire differences?

Sex therapy can be helpful for partners who experience differences in desire, mismatched expectations, avoidance, resentment, pressure, or difficulty talking about sex. Therapy may help partners understand what contributes to the difference, improve communication, reduce blame, and explore ways to rebuild emotional and physical connection.

Desire can be affected by stress, trauma, relationship dynamics, medication, hormones, health conditions, sleep, parenting, aging, and many other factors. When medical or medication-related issues may be involved, a therapist may recommend speaking with a healthcare provider as part of a broader care plan.

Can sex therapy help with pain, discomfort, or physical symptoms?

Sex therapy may help with the emotional, relational, and communication aspects of pain or discomfort, but it is not a replacement for medical care. If you are experiencing pain, new symptoms, pelvic floor concerns, erectile changes, arousal changes, or other physical symptoms, it is important to consult a qualified healthcare provider.

Some people benefit from coordinated care that includes a therapist, physician, pelvic floor physical therapist, psychiatrist, or other specialist depending on the concern.

Is sex therapy LGBTQIA+ affirming?

Many sex therapists offer LGBTQIA+ affirming care, but provider experience varies. Review each therapist’s profile for language about sexual orientation, gender identity, relationship diversity, kink-aware care, non-monogamy, trauma-informed care, and other areas that may be important to you.

You deserve a therapist who respects your identity, values, boundaries, and relationship structure. If those factors are central to your care, it can be helpful to ask about the therapist’s experience during a consultation or first session.

Is sex therapy confidential?

Sex therapy is generally confidential, like other forms of mental health care, with standard legal and ethical limits.

Your therapist should explain confidentiality, privacy, telehealth policies, and any limits at the beginning of care. If you are attending with a partner, ask how the therapist handles individual disclosures, secrets, records, and communication between sessions.

When is online sex therapy not the right choice?

Online sex therapy may not be the right fit if you are in immediate danger, experiencing coercion or abuse, feeling unsafe with a partner, or dealing with a crisis that requires urgent support. In those situations, emergency services, a crisis line, domestic violence resources, or in-person care may be more appropriate.

Online sex therapy is also not a substitute for medical evaluation when symptoms may have a physical cause. If you have pain, sudden changes in sexual functioning, medication side effects, hormonal concerns, or other medical symptoms, consider speaking with a medical provider in addition to therapy.

Need urgent support? Therapy Expanded is not a crisis service. If you are in immediate danger, call 911 or go to the nearest emergency room. If you need urgent mental health, suicide, domestic violence, substance use, or LGBTQIA+ support, visit our crisis and mental health resources page.
