Understanding Sex Therapy
Sex therapy is a supportive, talk-based approach that explores the emotional, relational, and psychological experiences that shape intimacy and desire. It is a professional and ethical form of therapy that never involves physical contact. Instead, it offers space to understand patterns, reduce shame, and create more meaningful connections with yourself and others.
At Karli K Counseling, sessions are provided entirely online, making it easy for clients in Riverview and throughout Florida to access care from a private, comfortable environment. This allows you to begin the healing process without the stress of travel or the pressure of an in-person setting.
