Sex therapist serving Tampa, Florida
Karli Kucko, LPC, CST
AASECT Certified Sex Therapist
Love and intimacy aren’t static; they evolve, shift, and sometimes fade beneath the weight of stress, routine, or disconnection. When emotional or sexual closeness begins to feel distant, it can leave partners questioning what changed or wondering how to reconnect.
At Karli K Counseling, AASECT Certified Sex Therapist Karli Kucko helps individuals and couples explore these experiences with compassion and care. Through therapy sessions for online sex available to clients across Tampa, St. Petersburg, and nearby Florida areas, Karli offers a warm, nonjudgmental space to understand desire, rebuild emotional safety, and rediscover pleasure together.

Rebuild trust and communication after emotional distance or conflict
Understand desire discrepancies and learn to reconnect without pressure
Heal from shame, sexual trauma, or negative conditioning around pleasure
Explore performance concerns, low libido, or painful sex with curiosity and care
Develop a more fulfilling, confident, and authentic sexual relationship
A Safe, Inclusive, and Compassionate Approach
Karli’s work is trauma-informed, queer-affirming, and kink-aware, rooted in evidence-based methods like the Gottman Method and EMDR trauma therapy. Her goal is not to “fix” you or your relationship but to create space for healing, understanding, and growth.
Every session begins with safety and trust, allowing you to explore your story at your own pace. Together, you’ll uncover new ways to communicate, reconnect, and experience intimacy that feels grounded, safe, and deeply connected.
Begin Your Journey Toward Closeness and Confidence

What Is Sex Therapy?
What Happens in Sex Therapy?
Sex therapy is a specialized form of psychotherapy that helps individuals and couples explore, understand, and heal the emotional, relational, and physical aspects of sexuality. It’s about more than “fixing problems”; it’s about creating safety, clarity, and confidence in how you experience intimacy and connection.
At Karli K Counseling, sessions are conducted securely online, enabling clients across Tampa, St. Petersburg, and throughout Florida to receive compassionate, evidence-based support from the comfort of their own homes. Karli’s approach centers on warmth, safety, and therapeutic rapport, helping clients feel at ease as they begin to unpack topics that can often feel vulnerable or complex.
Like any form of psychotherapy, sex therapy involves conversation, not sexual activity. Together, you and Karli will explore the emotional, psychological, and relational experiences that influence your intimate life. Sessions are guided by curiosity, consent, and a pace that feels safe for you.
Karli K Counseling’s sessions are shaped by your goals and her AASECT-certified, trauma-informed background, often blending education, emotional awareness, and experiential learning to promote sustainable change.
Karli’s Approach Includes:
1. Education and Understanding
Many of us never received accurate or shame-free information about sexuality. In therapy, Karli helps fill those gaps with gentle education and conversation — not lectures — so you can understand your experiences without judgment.
2. Emotional and Body Awareness
Sexual challenges are often tied to emotions, nervous system responses, and relationship dynamics. Together, you’ll explore patterns of stress, desire, and connection, learning to interpret your body’s cues with compassion rather than criticism.
3. Empowerment and Change
Once awareness builds, clients often begin to feel empowered to make choices that support pleasure, connection, and emotional health. Karli may invite you to try reflection or communication exercises between sessions, always collaboratively designed, never prescriptive.
4. Integration and Continued Growth
Healing is an ongoing process. Karli supports clients in integrating what they’ve learned, maintaining new insights, and strengthening the confidence to create intimacy that feels authentic and fulfilling long after therapy ends.
A Safe, Inclusive Space for Healing
Karli’s work is sex-positive, queer-affirming, kink-aware, and body-inclusive. Whether you’re exploring desire differences, performance concerns, painful sex, or emotional disconnection, therapy offers a space where curiosity replaces shame and healing begins with understanding.
