Sex Therapy or Marriage Counseling: What’s the Difference?

Truthfully, there are a few ways you could answer this question. And that’s because in some cases, there’s a clear distinction between sex therapy and marriage counseling. However, in many situations, these two modalities are like songs that have found their way into a bangin’ mashup.

Let’s first take a closer look at each specialty:

  • Sex therapy can be for individuals and for those in relationships with others. It addresses very specific sexual issues and concerns like low libido, confidence, erection issues, orgasm concerns and health problems that disrupt one’s ability to have a satisfying sex life. Contrary to potentially popular belief, clients do not have sex in front of nor with their therapist (this is approach called sex surrogacy, which is a topic for another blog!).
  • Marriage counseling aims to help people in relationships with challenges such as communication, commitment, conflict, etc. It was once considered “the last stop” on a relationship’s path to divorce, but that’s super old school. Today, the model has expanded to support those in long-term partnerships as well as others who are just gaining traction and want to put their best feet forward from the get-go.

Here’s where the two may cross-over: often times, clients bring one or two issues to therapy. But once they get started, other concerns bubble up. This is quite common, and trained clinicians will explain that either they are qualified to continue addressing all of the content, or if not, will refer the clients to a specialist.

Here’s the takeaway – not all marriage counselors have sex therapy training, and not all sex therapists are experts in the interpersonal challenges outside of intimacy.

If you’re seeking support, interview at least a few therapists and do your research. No matter what type of therapy you’re engaging in, a solid match with your counselor is critical for best possible outcomes. Ensure their approach is culturally sensitive and trauma informed (this is true for individual therapy as well).
