Daniel McNulty
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LMSW
I have found that integrating various therapeutic modalities with a holistic approach is effective in addressing sexual addiction. Drawing from techniques such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Accelerated Resolution Therapy, I assist clients in identifying triggers, managing impulses, and developing healthier coping strategies. Additionally, I incorporate Attachment-based approaches and Internal Family Systems (IFS) to explore underlying relational patterns and past traumas contributing to addictive behaviors, fostering self-awareness and facilitating healing in the journey towards recovery.
