Sex/Porn Addiction
Jed Jacobson
Counselor/Therapist, LMHC
Sexual addiction or compulsive sexual behavior can feel overwhelming and isolating. In therapy, we explore the underlying emotions and unmet needs driving the cycle, helping you build self-trust and reduce the need for these coping strategies. Lasting change becomes possible when you’re truly understood, not judged.

Sex/Porn Addiction
Ryan Shannon
Counselor/Therapist, LMHCA, MA, MS
Sexual behavior or pornography use can become concerning when it feels difficult to control, conflicts with your values, interferes with relationships, or becomes a way of escaping loneliness, anxiety, shame, boredom, or emotional pain. You may find yourself repeating the behavior despite wanting to stop, hiding it from others, or cycling between temporary relief and intense guilt.
My approach is nonjudgmental, honest, and practical. I will not shame your sexuality or assume that frequent sexual thoughts or pornography use automatically indicate an addiction. Together, we can distinguish between healthy sexual expression, distress rooted primarily in guilt or cultural expectations, and behavior that has genuinely become compulsive or harmful.
Drawing from Adlerian and psychodynamic therapy, we may explore the emotional needs, early experiences, relationship patterns, and unconscious beliefs underlying the behavior. Sexual behavior can sometimes function as a way to manage rejection, insecurity, stress, trauma, or difficulty with intimacy. Understanding what the pattern provides can help you develop healthier ways to meet those needs.
I also use CBT to help you identify triggers, challenge all-or-nothing thinking, interrupt habitual cycles, and create realistic strategies for change. Mindfulness can help you notice urges without immediately acting on them. When appropriate, behavioral missions may involve changing routines, reducing access to triggers, practicing emotional regulation, increasing accountability, or building real-world intimacy and connection.
If trauma or distressing experiences contribute to the pattern, EMDR may also help reduce their emotional intensity. My goal is not to eliminate your sexuality. It is to help you regain choice, reduce secrecy and shame, strengthen your relationships, and develop sexual behaviors that feel intentional, healthy, and consistent with your values.

Sex/Porn Addiction
Centers for Counseling and Wellness, Int'l
Psychologist, PhD
Sex and pornography addiction are among the most misunderstood and least talked about struggles people carry. There is so much shame wrapped around it that most people suffer in silence for years before ever telling anyone. If that is you, we want you to know something important: you are not broken, you are not beyond help, and you do not have to be ashamed to walk through our door.
Compulsive sexual behavior and pornography addiction are real, recognized conditions that affect people across all walks of life, including high-functioning professionals, devoted partners, and dedicated service members who would never want anyone to know. The secrecy itself becomes part of the cycle, and breaking that cycle starts with finding a safe place to be honest.
At CCW International, we provide a judgment-free space to explore what is driving the compulsive behavior, how it is affecting your relationships and your sense of self, and what recovery actually looks like for you. We use evidence-based approaches to help you understand the underlying patterns, develop healthier coping strategies, and rebuild trust in yourself and your relationships.
Asking for help with this takes extraordinary courage. We honor that courage, and we are ready to meet you with compassion, not judgment.
You took the hardest step by reaching out. We will take it from here.

Julien Moe
Hypnotherapist, Diploma in Clinical and Applied Hypnosis, Diploma in Life Coaching
Sex and pornography addiction can be treated using hypnotherapy, which aims to rewire subconscious patterns, reduce urges, and break addiction cycles by focusing on positive habit replacement. How Hypnotherapy Treats Porn/Sex Addiction:Rewiring the Brain: It helps change the brain’s dopamine-driven, rewarding link to pornography, reducing automatic urges.Subconscious Re-programming: Hypnotherapy can uncover and address the root causes of the addiction, including underlying shame or trauma.Behavioral Change: Techniques such as suggestion therapy, visualization, and regression are used to associate negative experiences with porn, while fostering healthier habits.
My clients addicted to sex and porn have been resilient and recovering due to my Dicit Hypnotherapy.
