Karli Kucko, LPC, CST
AASECT Certified Sex Therapist
Navigating changes in desire, comfort, or intimacy can feel overwhelming, especially when it begins to affect communication or emotional closeness. Many clients in Seminole reach out when intimacy starts to feel complicated or when they sense distance forming in a relationship but don’t know how to address it. Having a supportive and grounded therapeutic space can help you make sense of these shifts with clarity and compassion.
As an AASECT Certified Sex Therapist based in St. Petersburg, I offer secure online therapy to individuals, couples, and people in diverse relationship structures throughout Florida, including Seminole. Together, we explore the emotional, neurological, and relational factors that shape your experience of intimacy, desire, and connection, at a pace that feels safe and supportive for you.
Sex Therapy Support for Individuals and Couples in Seminole, Florida
Why Seminole Clients Seek Sex Therapy
Clients in Seminole, including individuals, couples, and people with vulvas or penises, often reach out when intimacy begins to feel confusing, distant, or emotionally heavy. For some, this shows up as mismatched desire. For others, it involves discomfort during intimacy, difficulty expressing needs, or unresolved experiences that influence connection.
People commonly seek support when:
Desire feels unclear, inconsistent, or pressured
Emotional or sexual closeness feels harder to access
Communication about intimacy feels tense or avoided
Shame, past experiences, or stress impact pleasure or comfort
They want to rebuild a connection with a partner after a period of distance
No matter where you’re starting, therapy can help you create more understanding, ease, and connection in your relationships.

What Sex Therapy Is: And How It Helps

Sessions with Karli are offered exclusively online, giving Seminole clients access to a comfortable, grounded environment where they can explore vulnerable topics with privacy and ease.
