Sex Therapy

Sex therapy for adults whose desire has gone quiet, who feel out of sync with a partner, or who never quite learned how their own wanting works.

What is Sex Therapy?

Sex therapy is talk-based therapy that helps individuals and couples understand how desire, arousal, intimacy, and self-image fit together and where the disconnect is. There is no physical exam and no contact; the work happens entirely through conversation. Because sexual concerns usually sit at the intersection of the body, the relationship, and a person’s own history, the work looks at all three rather than the symptom alone.

Most people arrive having never been taught how their sexuality works, only what it was supposed to look like. A lot of the early work is simply naming things clearly so they stop feeling so personal.

Doug Lormand, LPC, is an AASECT-certified sex therapist serving adults across Texas, Colorado, and Louisiana.

Does this sound like you?

Sex is never just about sex. When it stops working, it leaks into everything. Some of this might land:

  • You want to want it. Your body did not get the memo.
  • You and your partner stopped being on the same page a long time ago.
  • You think about it constantly and talk about it almost never.
  • You have never felt free to explore your sexuality.
  • You can be right there in the room and feel completely gone.
  • You carry shame about what you want, or do not want.
  • You are starting to think you never really understood your own sexuality.

Sexual Concerns I Help With

  • Low or absent desire.
  • Mismatched desire between partners.
  • Arousal and performance worries.
  • Difficulty reaching orgasm.
  • Pain or anxiety around intimacy.
  • Shame about sexual history, fantasies, or identity.
  • Sexual self-discovery, often in midlife.

How We Work Together

We start with a clear picture of what is happening and what you want to be different. No judgment. No rushing.

From there, the work is practical. We look at the patterns, sort out what is physical from what is emotional or relational, and build understanding you can put to use at a pace you set.

If a partner is involved, both of you have a place in the room. If a medical issue may be in play, I will say so and help you find the right support.

We’re a good fit if:

You want unconventional, on-demand access

You value a practice designed to reach you in the moment, not one that books you weeks out.

You’ve reached your boiling point

A betrayal, a blowup, or a decision that cannot wait has made things feel urgent, and you want to talk while it is still live.

You want a results-oriented therapist

You are ready for a therapist who names patterns, asks hard questions, and helps you move on your timeline.

Benefits of Sex Therapy

Desire makes sense again

You understand what turns it on and off for you, instead of waiting and hoping.

Sex feels less loaded

The pressure eases, and intimacy stops feeling like a test.

You can say what you want

Talking about sex with your partner gets easier and far less awkward.

Shame loosens its grip

What you once hid feels like something you understand, not something wrong with you.

Mind and body reconnect

You are present during intimacy instead of stuck in your head.

You know yourself better

You leave with a clearer sense of your sexuality than when you walked in.

How to Get Started

Here’s how Doug-on-Demand works, three simple steps.

  1. 01

    Reach Out Today

    Fill out the contact form with your details and a brief description of what prompted you to reach out. New clients complete a short set of intake forms online.

  2. 02

    Doug Calls You in 24 Hours

    Once your forms are in, Doug reaches out personally, by the end of the day, or within 24 hours if it is late or after hours.

  3. 03

    Start the Work

    Your time in therapy should match the work in front of you. Standard sessions run about an hour, with longer appointments available when a situation calls for more room to think or a hard decision to make.

Sex Therapy FAQs

Is sex therapy the same as anything physical?

No. Sex therapy is talk therapy. There is no physical exam and no physical contact. Everything happens through conversation, online.

Do you work with individuals or only couples?

Both. Plenty of people come on their own to understand their sexuality, and plenty come as couples. Either works.

How soon can I get in?

Quickly, by design. Doug keeps room in his schedule for people who need to talk now, not in seven weeks. Reach out today, and you can usually be on the schedule within 24 hours, often the same day.

Do I have to be an existing client?

No. New and existing clients both use this. If this is your first time, you complete a short set of intake forms online before the first session, and then you talk.

Can we do this online?

Yes. Sessions are online across Texas, Colorado, and Louisiana, so you can meet from somewhere private and comfortable. You do need to be located in one of those three states.

How much does it cost, and do you take insurance?

Doug offers private-pay sessions and select insurance through Headway, and can provide documentation for out-of-network reimbursement when it applies. The specifics are confirmed when you reach out.

What if I have never talked about this with anyone?

That is the most common starting point, not the exception. You do not need the right words or a tidy explanation. Discussing it in the first conversation is enough.
