Porn Addiction Therapy in Florida
Are you tired of saying “this is the last time,” and then finding yourself stuck in the same cycle?
Counseling to help you:
Reduce Urges
Rebuild Self Trust
Create A Plan That Holds Up In Real Life.
Some people want to quit entirely, others simply want to reduce their usage. I support people with both goals— whether you think you have an addiction or just want guidance with a bad habit.
Support when it feels out of control
Maybe one or more of these feels uncomfortably familiar.
“I feel ashamed afterward, then do it again anyway.”
“This is affecting my relationship, even if no one else knows.”
“I feel disconnected during intimacy, even when I care about my partner.”
“What used to work doesn’t anymore, so I keep chasing something stronger.”
You might still be functioning.
But internally, things feel increasingly stuck, tense, or disconnected.
Porn struggles aren’t a personal failure.
Studies suggest that millions of Americans are addicted to porn.
Modern porn is part of a billion-dollar industry built by teams of engineers and psychologists whose job is to shape habits and strongly condition the brain’s reward and stress circuits.
Getting pulled in doesn’t mean you’re weak. It means the system is working to trap you as intended.
About Joe:
Hi, I’m Joe. I specialize in helping men who feel stuck in compulsive porn use and relapse cycles.
If you feel embarrassed reading this page, you’re not alone. Most people who reach out have tried to stop on their own, relapsed, and then felt worse about themselves afterward.
I take a nonjudgmental approach because shame makes this problem worse. I also get it personally. I’ve had seasons where I felt caught in a loop I did not feel proud of, and where willpower alone was not enough.
We will focus on practical steps, accountability, and quick resets. We work toward more choice and consistency over time, not perfection.
More on how I work:
A nonjudgmental alliance with accountability
A consistent place to be honest, track patterns, and reset quickly when you get off track.
Evidence informed, skills based approach
Practical tools you can use under stress, not just insight that makes sense on a good day.Self improvement, not just “stop watching porn”
Small weekly experiments and routine changes so progress continues outside the therapy room.'

What Porn Addiction Therapy usually looks like
Step 1: Get clear on your pattern
We map when porn use shows up, what tends to trigger it, and what happens before and after. This gives us something concrete to work with instead of relying on willpower or guesswork.Step 2: Reduce pressure on the system
Urges tend to spike when stress, fatigue, boredom, or isolation are high. We look at routines, sleep, access points, and stress load so you’re not constantly fighting your nervous system.Step 3: Build tools for real-world urges
You learn practical strategies to ride out urges and interrupt automatic loops, especially during your highest-risk moments. The goal is more choice, not perfect control.Step 4: Plan for slips and quick resets
Slips don’t mean you failed. We look at early warning signs, adjust the plan, and create a clear reset so one setback doesn’t turn into a spiral.Step 5: Strengthen self-trust and real-life momentum
Over time, many people notice less guilt, more consistency, and more energy for relationships and offline goals. The focus shifts from fighting urges to living in a way that feels aligned.
Some people move through these steps quickly. Others take more time. We adjust the pace based on what actually helps.
How People Describe Progress in Porn Addiction Therapy
This is practical, self-improvement-focused therapy. Each week, you will make small changes designed to build more choice and reduce the need to constantly fight urges.
Over time many people notice:
Less urges with better tools to ride them out
More self trust and less guilt
Healthier relationships in real life
More motivation for offline goals
I want therapy to become less necessary over time, because you’re building skills you can use on your own.
