“I called Doug’s number and he answered immediately. I was highly upset about a situation between my husband and me. Doug talked me off the ledge [while I was] sitting in a parking lot while waiting for donuts for our kids. He was able to meet with both my husband and I by 5:00 that evening. Two years later we are still meeting with Doug and we are stronger than ever. Both independently and as a couple.”

On-Demand Therapy On Your Schedule
You’re going about your day — moving through your typical routine. All of a sudden an explosive event occurs, like:
-
You and your partner just had a screaming match over breakfast — you’re terrified they’ll walk out on you.
-
You and your aging parents get into a heated argument about their living situation — you’re afraid they’re no longer able to take care of themselves.
-
You and your coworkers had a disagreement over the project you’re working on — you’re worried your manager might hear about it and fire you.
In the midst of a critical emotional challenge like this, you may not feel comfortable talking to your friends or family. You’d rather speak with a professional clinical voice. Someone who can help you navigate the complexities — and help you manage the situation so you can find the comfort level you are seeking.
But after a quick search of the internet, it seems like all of the therapists you come across:
-
Have no immediate availability.
-
Aren’t accepting new patients.
-
Can’t work around your schedule.
I know how frustrating this can be. That’s why I created the Doug-on-Demand service option.

My Approach to On-Demand Therapy
Hi, I’m Doug, the relationship therapist behind Doug-on-Demand. I’m a couples and sex therapist who specializes in high-conflict struggles around the topics of sex and money.
Over the last few years, I saw firsthand how the pandemic affected people’s relationships. When disagreements and problems exploded, oftentimes my clients were just looking for a professional to talk to.
So I developed Doug-on-Demand with one goal in mind for my clients: if you need me, reach out and I’m there.
This on-demand therapy gives you a mechanism to support what you need to manage or work through — in real-time. I do this by drawing on my expertise, training, and education, including:
-
AASECT Certified Sex Therapist
-
Choice Theory Advanced Training
-
Master of Education in Counseling
-
Master of Science in Human Resource Development
In addition to my extensive education, I draw on a number of evidence-based approaches and techniques to help my clients resolve their relationship problems, such as:
-
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
-
The Gottman Method
-
Choice Theory
-
Polarity Management
With these tools, I can help you manage the tensions in your relationships and learn how to make better choices — so you can cultivate healthier, happier relationships in your life.
