Anthony Kibler
MS, BCBA, CBS
As a practicing Certified Behavioral Sexologist (CBS) and Sexual Behavior Analyst (SBA), I specialize in supporting neurodivergent individuals with the tools, language, and confidence to explore their identity, relationships, and autonomy in a safe and respectful manner.
With over 20 years of experience in ABA and 9 years as a Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA), I've witnessed the systemic gap in sexual health education and support for the individuals and families we serve. Sexuality is part of the human experience — yet it is often ignored, pathologized, or suppressed in traditional behavioral models.
My Integrated Approach
Why ACT Matters
ACT is central to this work. It helps individuals and caregivers:
- Understand internal experiences without judgment
- Clarify what matters most (values)
- Build meaningful patterns of behavior around those values
- Increase tolerance for discomfort (e.g., shame, curiosity, rejection)
- Improve communication and self-advocacy
This ACT-based lens moves beyond compliance or behavior reduction and instead supports empowered, meaningful lives.

All topics are approached with clarity, compassion, and dignity — ensuring education is age-appropriate, culturally sensitive, and tailored to each learner's developmental profile and values.
