Sex/Porn Addiction
Laura Anderson LPCC, Eff Shame Therapy
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPCC
Problematic sexual behaviors — including compulsive porn use — are rarely about sex itself. They are most often about pain, disconnection, shame, or a nervous system looking for relief. I work from a harm reduction, client-centered approach using CBT, DBT, Motivational Interviewing, and trauma-focused methods to understand what's underneath the behavior and actually address it. I do not work from a twelve-step or "sex addiction" framework — not because I dismiss your struggle, but because shame-based models tend to create more of the very thing driving the behavior in the first place. You are not broken. Let's figure out what's actually going on.

Sex/Porn Addiction
Luis Maimoni
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Sex addiction is something that is frequently discussed in the media, but there is no "official diagnosis" for it in the DSM-5, our diagnostic manual. Some say this is because there is insufficient research on the topic.
The clients I've met with who have believed themselves to be "sex addicts" were actually using sex to cope with another issue. Once the other issue was identified and treated, the need to engage in the unhelpful sexual coping activity was greatly reduced. I can't promise you the same result, but I can promise to treat you respect as we work together to understand what is driving the behavior you are seeking to reduce.
