Common Client Concerns About Sex Therapy & Relationship Counseling
Many couples hesitate to seek help because they feel uncertain, nervous, or unsure if therapy will truly make a difference. Here are some of the most common concerns—and how Modern Psychotherapy Services LCSW PLLC addresses them:
“What if talking about sex in therapy is uncomfortable?”
💡 Sex therapy is a professional, confidential, and judgment-free space where you can explore intimacy concerns in a way that feels safe and comfortable. You will never be forced to share more than you’re ready for, and we move at your own pace.
“What if my partner doesn’t want to come?”
💡 It’s common for one partner to feel hesitant about therapy. If your partner is reluctant, you can start with individual sessions to explore your concerns and develop strategies for communication. Many times, after seeing positive changes, the other partner becomes more open to joining therapy.
“Can a sexless marriage or disconnected relationship really be fixed?”
💡 Yes! Many couples who felt like “roommates” or thought they had lost their connection have been able to restore intimacy, improve communication, and rebuild trust through therapy. It takes effort and guidance, but lasting change is absolutely possible.
“What if we’ve tried to fix things before and nothing worked?”
💡 Therapy isn’t about repeating the same conversations you’ve already had at home. It’s about gaining new insights, strategies, and perspectives that help you break free from the same negative cycles. With the right guidance, you can start seeing real progress.
“Will therapy force us to stay together if we’re unsure about our future?”
💡 Not at all. The goal of therapy is to help you gain clarity—whether that means deepening your connection or making informed decisions about your relationship. There’s no pressure, just support for whatever path is best for you both.
“I feel broken or ashamed about my sexual concerns. Will I be judged?”
💡 Absolutely not. One of the core goals of sex therapy is to help you release shame and negative beliefs about intimacy, desire, and relationships. No matter what you’re struggling with, you are not alone, and your feelings are completely valid.
“How long does sex therapy take to work?”
💡 Every couple is different, but many begin to see positive changes within a few sessions. The number of sessions depends on the complexity of the concerns and how actively you apply what we discuss in therapy. The goal is always lasting, meaningful improvement—not just a temporary fix.
