Sex therapist serving Palm Harbor, Florida
Karli Kucko, LPC, CST
AASECT Certified Sex Therapist
Taking that first step toward therapy can feel intimidating, especially when the topic involves sex, desire, or vulnerability. Karli’s approach focuses on helping clients feel grounded and at ease before diving into deeper exploration.
Through secure online sessions, she works with individuals and couples to identify emotional, physical, and relational factors that may be affecting intimacy. Rather than focusing on “fixing” problems, therapy helps you understand what’s happening beneath them, creating room for growth, compassion, and authentic closeness.
Clients Often Reach Out To Explore:
Changes in desire or mismatched sexual needs
Challenges with arousal, performance, or confidence
Disconnection or distance in emotional intimacy
Painful sex or physical discomfort
Curiosity about kink, identity, or sexual self-expression
Karli’s trauma-informed, inclusive approach emphasizes understanding the whole person — your emotions, your story, and the context that shapes your relationship with pleasure and connection.
