Our sexual expression, identification, and exploration can be beautiful and vibrant parts of who we are. However, that doesn't always mean that the sexual experiences and aspects of our lives and relationships feel good, positive, pleasurable, or desirable. In sex therapy we work to explore who you are as a sexual individual, and how you want to communicate and live out that part of your life. We provide a safe and affirming space where we work together to discover what the world of intimacy looks like for you, and make changes that feel genuine and connecting.
At Schilling Counseling, we offer secure, confidential online sex therapy for individuals and couples living in California and Washington. As a husband-and-wife counseling practice, we bring warmth, professionalism, and deep respect for each client’s story into every session. Through telehealth, you can access compassionate, affirming sex therapy from the comfort and privacy of your own space without sacrificing quality or connection.
Our approach to online sex therapy is grounded in curiosity, acceptance, and collaboration. We understand that conversations about sex, intimacy, and desire can feel vulnerable or even intimidating. Our goal is to create a supportive virtual environment where you feel safe to explore these topics openly, honestly, and at your own pace. Whether you are navigating challenges in a relationship or seeking greater understanding of yourself, we are here to walk alongside you.
How Do I Know if I Need Sex Therapy?
Many people wonder whether their concerns are “serious enough” for sex therapy. In reality, sex therapy is not only for crises. It can also be a meaningful space for growth, healing, and self-discovery. You might consider online sex therapy if you feel stuck, disconnected, confused, or distressed about aspects of your sexual life or intimate relationships.
- Are you stuck in a sexless marriage?
- Do you and your partner have mismatched sexual desires?
- Are you having performance issues?
- Do you not feel emotionally connected anymore?
- Or maybe you want to spice up your love life, but your partner isn’t interested.
- If sexual issues are preventing true closeness between you and your partner, you may want to consider sex therapy.
Some people seek sex therapy because of changes in desire, difficulty with arousal or orgasm, pain during intimacy, or challenges following medical issues or life transitions. Others come because of emotional barriers such as shame, anxiety, past trauma, or conflicting beliefs around sex and intimacy. If your sexual experiences or questions are impacting your well-being, confidence, or relationships, sex therapy can provide clarity and support.
What Is Sex Therapy For?
Sex therapy is designed to help individuals and couples better understand their sexual selves and build healthier, more satisfying connections. In online sex therapy sessions, we may explore topics such as intimacy in relationships, communication around sex, personal values, sexual identity, and how past experiences shape present patterns.
At Schilling Counseling, sex therapy can also support clients navigating sexual trauma, faith and spirituality in relation to sexuality, kink or alternative relationship structures, and questions around desire or eroticism. Rather than offering quick fixes, we focus on meaningful, lasting change, helping you align your sexual experiences with who you are and how you want to show up in your relationships.
What Happens During My Appointment with a Sex Therapist?
Your online sex therapy sessions are guided by your goals, comfort level, and pace. Sessions take place via a secure telehealth platform and may involve conversation, reflection, education, and gentle exploration of patterns or beliefs. There is no expectation to share anything you are not ready to discuss.
Your therapist’s role is to provide a non-judgmental, affirming presence while helping you gain insight and develop practical tools for change. Whether you attend therapy individually or with a partner, sessions are collaborative and respectful, allowing space for honesty, curiosity, and growth. Over time, many clients find increased confidence, deeper connection, and a greater sense of ease around intimacy.
