It sounds like you need to set boundaries.
Licking is often a way for a dog to unload anxiety. Faster licking = greater unloading.
This is a dog. You are a human. Too much bonding.. too close in that relationship without boundaries is not healthy. It can be stressful to the dog.
Dog needs time to be a dog. Boundaries are healthy.
Just set limits and boundaries and treat your dog like a dog. No psychologist needed.
