What's sex therapy, and what happens in a sex therapy session?

It depends: What happens during a sex therapy session depends on what the problem is. Most of what happens is discussion. Under very strict guidelines, a licensed sex therapist can enlist the services of a sexual surrogate for "hands on therapy" but this is very rare. Sometimes the therapist will ask for help from a medical doctor if medication might be useful.

Exquisite detail: Sex therapy helps couples deal, typically, with sexual dysfunction and low desire. It's a lot like a couple's counseling session and often delves into other marital issues. A good sex therapist can create an atmosphere where you feel comfortable discussing your sex life, often in great detail. You will probably get intimacy exercises to practice with your partner and report on the next visit..
