What Brings Clients in Pinellas Park to Sex Therapy
People in Pinellas Park reach out for many different reasons, sometimes because intimacy feels stressful or confusing, and sometimes because they want to reconnect with a partner after a period of emotional or sexual distance. Others come in wanting to understand their own patterns, histories, or responses more deeply.
Clients often seek support when:
Desire feels inconsistent, mismatched, or hard to access
Sexual pain or discomfort makes intimacy feel tense or overwhelming
Communication about needs or boundaries feels difficult
Past relational experiences influence confidence or connection
Shame, fear, or uncertainty impacts pleasure and ease
Sex therapy creates space to explore these concerns without pressure, judgment, or expectations.

A Supportive, Online Approach to Sexual Healing
Sex therapy is a talk-based, ethical, and confidential process that focuses on your emotional, relational, and psychological experiences with intimacy and sexuality. It never includes physical contact. Instead, it helps you understand the stories, stressors, and expectations that influence your current experience.
All sessions with Karli are held online, giving Pinellas Park clients access to grounding, supportive care from a private and comfortable environment. Many people find that meeting from home helps them feel more at ease when discussing vulnerable topics.
What Online Sex Therapy Looks Like
1. A Gentle, Collaborative Process
We begin by developing safety and rapport. From there, sessions become a steady, supportive space where you can explore past experiences, current patterns, and the emotional landscape surrounding intimacy and desire.
2. A Judgment-Free Space for Your Story
Your experiences — including those related to sexuality, identity, or body — are met with respect and validation. Karli’s trauma-informed approach ensures that pacing is slow, intentional, and aligned with your comfort.
3. Flexible Support for Individuals or Couples
You can begin on your own or with your partner. Together, we decide on the structure that best supports your goals for connection and understanding.
4. Evidence-Informed Care Rooted in Attunement
Karli integrates tools from EMDR, Gottman Method foundations, and advanced sex therapy training to support clients in creating meaningful, lasting change.
