About
Stefan Bain is a clinical therapist with over 30 years of experience providing psychotherapy. He holds an MSW, is an LCSW (a Licensed Clinical Social Worker), has an MPH, and is a CST (Certified Sex Therapist). He was educated at UC Berkeley and completed post-graduate training at Vanderbilt University.
His practice is focused exclusively on sex-related issues and concerns, including performance issues, infidelity, sexual addiction or compulsion, porn addiction, and sexual disorders. He works only with men. Because sexual concerns are often closely connected to other life stressors, his work may also address related factors such as anger management, addiction, anxiety and depression, trauma, body acceptance, and exploration of sexual identity and fantasy.
Stefan Bain’s style is warm and interactive, grounded in best-practice and evidence-based approaches. He emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and aims to create a space where clients can speak openly about what is worrying them. His work integrates cognitive-behavioral, humanistic, psychodynamic, and rational-emotive therapy, and he tailors the conversation and plan to each client’s needs. A central aim is to help clients build practical tools they can continue using long after therapy ends, supporting a broader path toward wellness as each person defines it.

Evidence-Based Approaches, Made Accessible Online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, while building steady action toward what matters most. It can be especially useful when anxiety, shame, or compulsive patterns are pulling attention away from values and goals.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on practical skills for identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and changing behaviors that keep problems going. It often supports clients who want structured tools for concerns like stress, depression, and anxiety, including when these issues intersect with sexual concerns.
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early and current relationship experiences can shape closeness, trust, and emotional safety. It can be helpful for relationship strain, intimacy concerns, and the impact of past experiences on connection.
Finding the right fit is part of the process. Stefan Bain works collaboratively with clients to choose approaches and strategies that match their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting as therapy unfolds.
Online therapy adds flexibility and access, allowing sessions through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. This range of options can make it easier to stay consistent, fit therapy into a busy schedule, and choose the format that feels most comfortable.
