As in couples therapy, two people meet with a therapist and discuss their concerns, focusing particularly on their sexual relationship. Since sex is a complex physiological and emotional process, the effects of the mind and body can be manifest in a couple's sex life. Problems with either partner's emotional or physical state can affect the sexual relationship of a couple.

Therapists specializing in sexual therapy for couples typically have a great deal of knowledge about sex, reproductive organs, and the emotional dynamic of a sexual relationship. They are also typically trained as traditional psychologists or psychiatrists but have additional credentials as sexual therapists. Only licensed psychiatrists can prescribe medication, so most sexual therapists do not treat sexual problems with medication. If a client shows symptoms of a physical sexual problem, the sex therapist refers that client to a medical doctor.
