Sarah White, a 24-year-old psychology graduate, believes that the "power of arousal" can help people gain more control over their lives.
She is the woman behind "naked therapy," a new kind of "treatment" that is slowly gaining popularity -- particularly among males in New York.
In hour-long sessions via the Internet, White converses with her clients and tries to solve their problems while slowly taking off her clothes. Toward the end of the session, she is completely naked.
"Instead of the cold, objective, impersonal demeanor of the traditional therapist, you encounter me, just as I am with nothing to hide. And as a result you feel closer to me, less inhibited around me, and by being turned on you're able to discover things you might not with a clothed therapist," White wrote in her website,
She added, "So like massage therapy uses massage, psychotherapy uses psychology, and aromatherapy uses scents, naked therapy uses nakedness to feel freer and stronger and healthier and happier."
Clients who are 18 years old and above get to schedule a "consultation" with White via her website, sarahwhitelive.com, with each session worth $100 to $150.
The first 3 sessions are done via one-way private web camera and text chat, which may be followed by voice chat.
White currently has around 30 clients which are "an eclectic mix of college students with sexual issues, middle-aged men with relationship problems and even some women who enjoy a chat with a nude peer."
Aside from psychology, White said she is also into modeling, photography and computer programming or coding, among others.
She was voted as one of the Top Ten Sexiest Geeks of 2010 of Wired.com, an American online technology magazine.
