ADHD Therapy

Why Is It So Difficult To Manage ADHD Without Therapy?

Clients struggle to overcome ADHD on their own due to a combination of personal, cultural, social, and technological factors. Support systems, such as friends and family, may not understand the condition—or how to help—further isolating those with ADHD. 

Many people also tend to focus on “fighting” symptoms, resulting in temporary fixes rather than long-term solutions. However, learning to thrive with ADHD requires addressing underlying issues, such as emotional regulation or executive functioning deficits—challenges that therapists are specifically equipped to tackle. 

Through our Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder counseling services for adults, you can finally gain the insight and tools needed to live your best life with ADHD. Together, we can work on setting healthy boundaries, staying organized, and tapping into the strengths that make you uniquely you.

Learning How To Thrive With ADHD Through Therapy

Managing ADHD is often a journey rather than a destination, and progress can take time, but through counseling, that journey can reveal amazing opportunities for healing and growth. 

Like many people with ADHD, you likely possess unique strengths that you draw upon every day. You’re probably highly creative, resilient, empathetic, and goal-driven. You’re likely valued at work for your ability to think outside of the box and see things others don’t. 

All of these traits are powerful forces we can draw upon to help you navigate obstacles and work toward short and long-term goals. 

What Do Our Online ADHD Counseling Sessions Entail?

Our job at Live Well Practice is to help you overcome your challenges and find healthier, more effective ways of coping with ADHD. Together, we can work on: 

• Building routines to help you create a more balanced, structured lifestyle all around. 

• Recognizing and mitigating responses to stress, overwhelm, and external stimuli.

• Developing time management, organization, communication, and relationship skills. 

• Role-playing scenarios that allow you to practice social interactions and responses.

• Time-blocking, which permits you to block off certain parts of your day to achieve tasks.

In adult ADHD therapy sessions, we’ll also utilize SMART (Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, Time-Bound) Goals to help you achieve short-term goals. Those small successes, in turn, can pave the way to achieving long-term ambitions.

Which Therapy Methods Do We Use In Adult ADHD Counseling?

Our ADHD therapists at Live Well Practice utilize a range of counseling methods to create a dynamic treatment strategy unique to each person.   

• Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) for ADHD involves cognitive restructuring. This process enables clients to recognize distorted thinking patterns, such as "I'm always going to be disorganized and late," and replace them with more realistic, positive alternatives.

• Mindfulness for ADHD uses breathing exercises, guided imagery, and body scans (a form of mindfulness meditation) to reduce stress and promote emotional regulation.

• Behavioral Interventions teach clients how to identify and utilize the organizational tools best suited for them. That could look like choosing between a physical day planner or a smartphone app to help visualize tasks and keep track of appointments.

• Solution-Focused Brief Therapy has the ADHD therapist working with the individual to set small, concrete, and achievable goals. These goals are specific and focused on what the client is capable of achieving. The therapist, then, helps the client take gradual steps toward accomplishing these goals.

Hope is not just about wishing that things will get better; it's about taking steps toward a more empowered life. Working with a therapist finally gives you a way to do something more than cope with ADHD symptoms. 

With our help, you can tap into your inner strengths and gain the tools needed to function smoothly and be at your best. Remember, therapy is not just about managing ADHD; it's also about discovering how to thrive and enjoy a fulfilling life.
