Justin Gladney, Licensed Clinical Social Worker

I am licensed in Florida, Washington, Alabama, and Arkansas, and I provide secure telehealth therapy to individuals residing in these states. If you’re here, you might be feeling overwhelmed, ashamed, or stuck in patterns—especially around sex or porn use—that feel out of control. Many of the men I work with come in feeling frustrated, guilty, or disconnected, unsure how to break habits that no longer align with who they want to be. If that’s you, I want you to know: you’re not alone, and change is absolutely possible. I specialize in helping men regain control over compulsive sexual behaviors and porn use through a sex-positive, nonjudgmental, harm-reduction approach. Together, we’ll identify what’s driving the behavior, develop healthier patterns, and rebuild confidence and self-trust. I also work extensively with LGBTQ+ individuals and couples, including those exploring open relationships or polyamory. Whether you’re navigating identity, communication, or relational boundaries, I offer an affirming space where you can be honest, explore your needs, and strengthen your connections. My style is warm, direct, and practical. I blend cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), motivational interviewing (MI), and attachment-based approaches to help you understand your patterns, reduce shame, and take meaningful steps toward the life and relationships you want. If you’re ready to feel more in control—of your behavior, your relationships, and your path forward—I’m here to help.

My practice is a safe, affirming, and discreet space for men, LGBTQ+ individuals, and couples to work through challenges related to sexual behavior, relationships, and emotional wellbeing. I specialize in helping men navigate sex and porn addiction, compulsive sexual behaviors, intimacy concerns, and identity-related stress. I also work extensively with couples—monogamous, open, or polyamorous—supporting healthy communication, boundaries, and trust. Outside of my primary focus areas, I also work with individuals involved in the legal system who are struggling with sexual compulsive behaviors or navigating court-related requirements. My approach remains nonjudgmental, sex-positive, and rooted in accountability, clarity, and personal growth. Beyond sexual health and relationship work, I support clients dealing with a wide range of general mental health concerns, including anxiety, depression, PTSD, trauma histories, stress, burnout, and codependency. Whether you’re untangling emotional patterns, rebuilding confidence, or trying to understand yourself more deeply, I tailor each session to your needs and goals. My services include: Individual therapy Couples therapy (monogamous, open, or poly) Sex and porn addiction recovery for men LGBTQ+ affirming care Support for court-involved or legally mandated clients Harm reduction for substance use and behavior patterns.

From a porn addiction perspective, a problem develops when porn use begins to interfere with your life, relationships, or sense of control. It?s not the behavior itself that defines the issue, but the impact it has on your emotional, mental, and relational wellbeing. A problem often shows up when you notice you?re using porn compulsively, feeling unable to stop even when you genuinely want to cut back. You might find yourself thinking about it constantly, using it to cope with stress or difficult emotions, or hiding your behavior out of shame or fear of being discovered. Over time, this loss of control can lead to secrecy, guilt, isolation, decreased sexual satisfaction, or conflict with partners. When porn stops being a choice and starts feeling like something you ?have to do,? that?s when it becomes a problem?especially if it pulls you away from the life, intimacy, or version of yourself you truly want.
