Sex Therapist in Texas – Compassionate Support for Intimacy and Desire

Are you and your partner struggling to connect sexually? Maybe you feel like you want more intimacy than your partner—or less. Maybe sex has become a source of tension, confusion, or avoidance. If you’re feeling disconnected or unsure how to move forward, you’re not alone.

As a certified sex therapist serving all of Texas including Dallas, Austin, Houston, and Frisco, I help individuals and couples navigate sexual and relational challenges with sensitivity, clinical expertise, and respect for your values.

Whether you're facing a longstanding desire discrepancy or working through issues related to shame, trauma, or faith-based messages about sex, therapy can provide a path forward.

Meet Your Therapist: A Certified Sex Therapist in Texas

Hi, I’m Marina Stanton, a licensed marriage and family therapist and AASECT-certified sex therapist serving clients throughout Texas, including Dallas and surrounding areas. As a sex therapist in Texas, I specialize in working with couples and individuals from religiously conservative or Christian backgrounds who are struggling to make sense of their sexual concerns within the context of their values.

Many of my clients were raised with messages that framed sex as dangerous, shameful, or only acceptable under strict conditions. As adults, they often feel stuck, confused, or even broken when their experiences with desire, intimacy, or pleasure don’t align with what they were taught sex “should” be.

I use a differentiation-based approach that helps you build clarity, emotional resilience, and deeper connection—both with yourself and your partner. My goal is to support you in creating a sexual relationship that feels authentic, emotionally safe, and meaningful—not just physically functional.

Expert Sex Therapy for Texas Clients—With In-Person Insight, Online Convenience

I'm a certified sex therapist with advanced training through AASECT, the premier professional organization for sexual health education and therapy. I work with clients throughout Texas, including Dallas, Fort Worth, Austin, Houston, and Frisco, offering online sessions that make therapy accessible from the comfort of your home.

My approach blends evidence-based tools with deep emotional insight.

Sex Therapy in Texas can help clients:

  • Navigate mismatched sexual desire in long-term relationships

  • Heal from sexual shame or religious messaging that created confusion

  • Rebuild trust and intimacy after betrayal

  • Feeling “broken” or disconnected from sexual identity

  • Address low desire, sexual anxiety, or avoidance

  • Explore sexuality in a way that aligns with both values and authenticity

Many of my clients in Texas come from Christian or conservative backgrounds. They often find themselves torn between what they were taught about sex and what they now want from it in their adult lives and relationships.

I offer a unique space where you don’t have to choose between honoring your faith and developing a healthy, vibrant sexual connection. You’ll be met with empathy—not judgment—as we explore the patterns and beliefs shaping your intimate life.

Using a differentiation-based, developmental approach, I help clients become more grounded in themselves while growing closer to their partner. Sexual intimacy isn’t just about frequency—it’s about authenticity, emotional connection, and the ability to tolerate and grow through difference.

 Frequently Asked Questions Sex Therapist Texas

  • Sex therapy is a form of talk therapy focused specifically on issues related to sexual functioning, intimacy, desire, and sexual identity. Like regular therapy, it involves conversations about your thoughts, feelings, and concerns, but with a particular emphasis on sexual health and relational dynamics. If you're facing issues such as low libido, mismatched sexual desire, or sexual shame, sex therapy can help you address these challenges in a safe, compassionate, and nonjudgmental environment.

  • I work with individuals and couples across Texas to address a wide range of sexual concerns, including:

    • Desire discrepancies (when one partner wants more or less sex than the other)

    • Sexual shame or feelings of guilt around sex

    • Pain during intercourse or difficulty with arousal and orgasm

    • Navigating intimacy after infidelity or trust issues

    • Sexual trauma and its impact on relationships

    • Low or no sexual desire, sexual anxiety, or sexual avoidance

    Each session is tailored to your needs, and I help clients understand the emotional and relational factors that contribute to these challenges.
