Common approaches to ADHD therapy

Suzanne Hillin

Hear from Suzanne Hillin, Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC)

View Suzanne Hillin's profile

What is your go-to approach for ADHD therapy?

My go-to approach for helping people in ADHD therapy is to use The New Attention Deficit for Adults Workbook by Lynn Weiss, PHD. Dr. Weiss uses a positive, brain diversity approach that emphasized the amazing abilities of those with this type of brain while providing practical ways to deal with things that might be challenging to that particular person.

What tools do you teach in ADHD therapy?

I teach clients in ADHD therapy to value and affirm their gifts, while learning skills to manage practical challenges.

How do you know when a client is making meaningful progress in ADHD therapy?

I know when a client is making meaningful progress in ADHD therapy when the client affirms themself in a more positive light and expresses more ease of management of their particular challenges.

What can clients do in their personal time to supplement ADHD therapy?

Clients can supplement their time in ADHD therapy with using Dr. Weiss's workbook, doing work between sessions.

What should someone do to prepare for starting ADHD therapy?

To prepare for their first ADHD therapy session, an individual can take some time to think about their particular challenges, how the challenge effects their career/relationship/self esteem, and prepare themselves to do the homework.

Starting ADHD therapy

What is ADHD therapy?

At Thriveworks, we offer ADHD therapy, which is an effective treatment for managing attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) symptoms such as inattention, inability to sit still, and lack of self-control. It can be used as an alternative to ADHD medication or used in tandem.

How does ADHD therapy work?

ADHD therapy works by using behavioral interventions — focusing on helping the individual develop organization skills, improve time management, and work on adaptive behaviors. A range of therapies are effective in helping people manage their ADHD and, sometimes, both individual and family therapy are important, particularly when the individual with ADHD symptoms is a child.

Symptoms of ADHD

Common symptoms of ADHD include:

  • Inattention and difficulty focusing on tasks
  • Impulsivity and acting without thinking
  • Hyperactivity or restlessness

Can ADHD develop as a coping mechanism?

ADHD is not a coping mechanism—but is instead affected by both genetics and environmental factors. The skilled therapists at Thriveworks in Asheville, NC know how to treat the unique triggers and stressors that may influence the severity of someone’s ADHD symptoms.

Can someone with ADHD lead a normal life?

Yes—many individuals with ADHD live successful, ‘normal’ lives. Individuals with ADHD are not abnormal.

What kind of therapy is best for ADHD?

Common approaches to ADHD therapy include medication management, cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), behavioral therapy, psychoeducation, and parent training.

Is ADHD counseling conducted in person or online?

ADHD counseling is conducted both in person and online, depending on the individual’s preferences and their therapist’s availability.

How long does ADHD counseling last?

The length of ADHD therapy can differ based on individual requirements and treatment objectives, spanning from a few weeks to several months or extending further, contingent on progress and personal needs.

Understanding ADHD Symptoms

ADHD (Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder) affects concentration, attention, and behavior, and can significantly impact school, work, and personal life. Common symptoms include:

  • Inattentiveness: Difficulty concentrating, following instructions, and completing tasks.
  • Hyperactivity/Impulsivity: Inability to sit still, impulsive behavior, and excessive talking.

Recognizing these symptoms is the first step toward getting the help you or your child needs.

ADHD Diagnosis and Treatment

Diagnosing ADHD requires a detailed assessment by a licensed professional, as symptoms can often resemble typical child behavior. Our experts at Thriveworks Asheville are skilled in distinguishing between normal energy levels and those indicative of ADHD, ensuring an accurate diagnosis.

Treatment Options for ADHD

Effective management of ADHD includes:

  • Therapy: Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Family Therapy are effective in managing ADHD. CBT helps modify negative thought patterns, while Family Therapy improves communication and support within the family.
  • Medications: Stimulant and non-stimulant medications are available and can be part of a comprehensive treatment plan.
