Testimonials from Those We've Helped
I highly recommend Dean Anderson and his practice. He is the perfect balance of listening to understand, and then offering useful, practical solutions and tools to help you improve your life. I look forward to working with him in the future.
Kristy
I’ve had an amazing experience working with Dean! Dean provides the perfect balance of listening and providing good feedback. He’s also a very respectful, light-hearted, and trustable counsellor. And as someone who has had multiple therapists, Dean was by far the one that I’ve had the best experience with. Multiple factors go into having a good therapy experience, but I think Dean is absolutely worth giving a shot in your journey of healing.

Frequently Asked Pornography Counseling Questions
Have questions about how pornography counseling works or what to expect in therapy sessions? Whether you’re struggling with sexual addiction, navigating the impact of problematic sexual behaviors on your personal and professional lives, or facing overwhelming emotions tied to substance abuse or pornography use, these answers can help you understand how therapy supports lasting recovery, mental health, and overall well-being.
How long does it take to break porn addiction?
There’s no one-size-fits-all answer, but recovery is possible. Some people experience significant improvement in a few months, while others may work through deeper patterns for a year or more. Consistent porn addiction counseling, faith-based accountability, and psychotherapy can help treat porn addiction by addressing the underlying emotional pain and compulsive need to view pornographic material. Achieving long-term recovery often requires ongoing support, healthy boundaries, and a licensed therapist familiar with sex addiction treatment.
If you’re ready to begin, call 801-367-7505 and take the first step.
How do I know if I have a pornography addiction?
You may be struggling with porn addiction if you feel a loss of control, hide your behavior, experience negative consequences in relationships, or feel emotionally distressed after viewing pornography. Many people dealing with sex addiction report a compulsive need to return to porn despite efforts to stop. If these symptoms sound familiar, seeking professional addiction counseling can offer clarity and support.
You’re not alone. Contact Lighthouse Counseling to explore a path forward.
Does the LDS Church offer therapy?
Many LDS therapists and social work providers, like those at Lighthouse Counseling, understand the unique spiritual and moral concerns involved in treating addiction. We often work in alignment with gospel values, using clinical tools like acceptance and commitment therapy to support both healing and faith.
Call now to speak with a therapist who respects your beliefs and your journey.
Is your approach aligned with Christian values?
Yes. Lighthouse Counseling was founded on faith-informed care. We provide a supportive environment for individuals seeking recovery from pornography addiction while honoring their spiritual convictions. Our licensed therapists are sensitive to Christian values and incorporate faith-based principles alongside proven porn addiction treatment methods. We believe in the possibility of redemption, renewal, and lasting change through God’s help and professional guidance.
Let us walk with you. Call 801-367-7505 to start today.
Can family therapy be part of the healing process?
Absolutely. Porn addiction often affects more than just the individual. Family therapy can play a crucial role in restoring trust, building healthy boundaries, and improving emotional communication. Including a spouse or family member in counseling can support both the person struggling and their loved ones. Working together with a licensed therapist offers healing on multiple levels and strengthens a person’s ability to recover and rebuild relationships.
Ask about including family sessions during your consultation.
Can I really find long-term recovery?
Yes, long-term recovery is possible. Research shows that people who seek professional help and commit to treating addiction with honesty, support, and structure are far more likely to find peace. We use a combination of addiction counseling, psychotherapy, and trauma-informed strategies to help clients heal emotionally and spiritually. Many who once felt hopeless now live in freedom, supported by tools like porn addicts anonymous, medication-assisted treatments when appropriate, and community-based support.
We believe change is possible. Call today to learn how you can begin.
