Online Sex Addiction Counseling with a Certified Sex Addiction Therapist

If you’ve been caught in cycles of secrecy, shame, and behavior you can’t seem to stop, you already know willpower isn’t the answer. Compulsive sexual behavior isn’t a character flaw. It’s a problem your brain and nervous system have been solving, badly, for a long time. The good news is that it’s treatable, and it’s treatable well.

At Therapevo, our team includes Certified Sex Addiction Therapists (CSATs) trained through the International Institute for Trauma and Addiction Professionals (IITAP), the body that credentials clinicians in the Patrick Carnes model of sex addiction recovery. Our Clinical Director, Caleb Simonyi-Gindele, is a CSAT and has built a team of clinicians who specialize in treating problematic sexual behavior, pornography addiction, and betrayal trauma. You’ll work with a therapist who actually knows the terrain.

You are more than the behavior you’ve been hiding. Recovery is possible, and you don’t have to figure it out alone.

How We Help You Heal

Our clinicians use a structured recovery framework adapted for each client.

1

Understanding What’s Driving It

We look at your history and
the patterns driving the behavior
to find what’s actually underneath.

2

Establishing Sobriety

Together we build a concrete plan to stop
acting out and the structures that
hold lasting change in place.

3

Full Disclosure
(For couples)

When a partner is involved, we guide you through a clinically structured disclosure that protects trust instead of shattering it.

4

Uncovering the Roots

We use EMDR or Brainspotting, EFT, and psychodynamic work to reach the attachment wounds and trauma sitting underneath the compulsive behavior.

5

Building Healthy Intimacy

Whether you’re single or partnered, we help you rebuild the capacity for real closeness, which for many clients is new territory.

What is Sex Addiction?

Sex addiction isn’t about high libido. It’s compulsive sexual behavior that continues despite real harm to your health, relationships, or self-worth. Signs include:

  • Difficulty controlling sexual urges or behaviors
  • Preoccupation with sexual thoughts
  • Struggling to stop despite negative consequences to your health, relationships, or finances
  • Escalating behaviors to riskier or more extreme actions
  • Feeling disconnected from relationships or intimacy
  • Hiding behaviors out of shame or fear

You are more than this behavior, and healing is possible.

FAQs About CSAT Therapy and Sex Addiction Counseling

How long does recovery take?

Every situation is different, but many clients reach stable sobriety within a few months of consistent sessions. We’ll be honest with you: a full-blown sex addiction usually takes two to five years to fully recover from, and it may be the hardest thing you ever do.

Can sex addiction counseling help if I’ve tried to quit on my own before?

Yes, and if willpower alone hasn’t worked, that’s actually useful clinical information. Compulsive sexual behavior has roots in attachment and trauma that a Certified Sex Addiction Therapist is trained to reach.

Is sex addiction counseling confidential and discreet?

Yes. Every session is fully confidential and happens over secure video, so you can speak openly about what’s actually going on without fear.

What is a CSAT (Certified Sex Addiction Therapist)?

A Certified Sex Addiction Therapist is a licensed clinician trained through the International Institute for Trauma and Addiction Professionals (IITAP), the credentialing body built around Dr. Patrick Carnes’ work. CSATs carry specialized expertise in compulsive sexual behavior that general therapists usually don’t.

How is CSAT therapy different from regular counseling for sex addiction?

CSAT therapy follows the Patrick Carnes 30-task recovery model, a structured clinical framework moving through denial, sobriety, disclosure, root causes, and healthy intimacy. A compassionate general therapist may simply be missing the clinical map. CSATs have it.

Can I work with a CSAT therapist online?

Yes. At Therapevo, all of our sessions, including CSAT therapy, happen over secure video. You can work with a Certified Sex Addiction Therapist from anywhere in our licensure area, which often makes this kind of care more workable and more private.
