Cynthia A. Criss
Counselor/Therapist, LPC, LPCC, CSAT
Sex addiction is a valid and important specialty within counseling, focusing on helping individuals who struggle with compulsive sexual behaviors that interfere with their relationships, work, or personal well-being. It is often viewed through the lens of a behavioral addiction, where the individual becomes preoccupied with sexual thoughts or actions in ways that are harmful or out of control.
Counseling for sex addiction may involve several therapeutic techniques, including:
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT): This helps clients identify and challenge unhealthy thought patterns that contribute to their compulsive sexual behavior. CBT can help clients recognize triggers, develop coping strategies, and work on changing behaviors.
Trauma-Informed Therapy: Many individuals with sex addiction have experienced past trauma, such as sexual abuse or neglect, which may have contributed to their addiction. Trauma-informed therapy can provide a safe space to address these underlying issues.
12-Step Programs: Support groups like Sex Addicts Anonymous (SAA) or Sexaholics Anonymous (SA) can be a valuable part of recovery. These programs encourage community support and accountability as part of the healing process.
Psychodynamic Therapy: This approach may help uncover unconscious emotional conflicts or early life experiences that are driving addictive behaviors. Understanding these issues can help individuals process them and reduce the compulsion to act out.
Mindfulness and Stress Reduction: Developing healthy coping strategies, including mindfulness techniques, can help individuals better manage stress, anxiety, or emotional distress that might trigger the addictive behavior.
Counselors specializing in sex addiction often work with individuals, couples, or groups and may collaborate with medical professionals when necessary, especially if there are co-occurring issues such as depression, anxiety, or substance abuse.

Sex/Porn Addiction
Clear Path Counseling and Wellness Center
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA. LPC
Brad provides trauma-informed therapy for sexual addiction, compulsive sexual behaviors, pornography addiction, infidelity-related issues, and the relationship trauma that often accompanies these struggles. Sexual addiction can deeply impact trust, emotional intimacy, self-esteem, marriage, family stability, and overall emotional well-being, often creating cycles of secrecy, shame, guilt, anxiety, and disconnection within relationships.
Many high-functioning and high-achieving individuals silently struggle with compulsive sexual behaviors while appearing successful professionally or socially. Despite external success, these behaviors can create profound internal conflict, emotional distress, relationship instability, and feelings of isolation or loss of control. Partners often experience betrayal trauma, emotional pain, hypervigilance, and difficulty rebuilding trust after discovering compulsive sexual behaviors or infidelity.
Brad takes a holistic and trauma-focused approach to sexual addiction counseling, helping clients understand the deeper emotional and psychological factors driving compulsive behaviors. Sexual addiction is often connected to unresolved trauma, attachment wounds, emotional neglect, chronic stress, shame, dissociation, or unhealthy coping patterns developed over time. Therapy focuses not only on behavior change, but on understanding and healing the root causes contributing to the cycle.
As an experienced trauma therapist and EMDR therapist, Brad integrates EMDR therapy (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), trauma-informed counseling, emotional regulation strategies, and holistic therapeutic approaches to support meaningful and lasting recovery. Treatment focuses on reducing compulsive behaviors, resolving shame and guilt, improving emotional regulation, strengthening self-awareness, and helping clients develop healthier coping strategies and more authentic emotional connections.
Brad also works extensively with couples and relationship dynamics impacted by sexual addiction, betrayal trauma, and trust violations. Therapy may include rebuilding communication, restoring emotional safety, establishing healthy boundaries, and repairing trust within the relationship when appropriate. Partners are supported in understanding the impact of betrayal trauma while also creating healthier relational patterns moving forward.
Therapy provides a confidential, supportive, and non-judgmental environment where clients and couples can openly address painful experiences without shame or condemnation. The goal is not simply behavioral control, but deeper emotional healing, restored integrity, healthier relationships, and a renewed sense of self-worth and connection.
Healing and recovery are possible. With the right support, individuals and couples can move beyond cycles of addiction, shame, and disconnection to create healthier relationships built on trust, honesty, emotional intimacy, and lasting change.
Virtual counseling and online EMDR therapy sessions are available, providing confidential and convenient access to specialized trauma-focused therapy from the comfort and privacy of home.
