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.
