About Adam
Adam Poll is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) in Utah with 25 years of clinical experience. He works with people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, family and parenting concerns, and anger. He also addresses guilt and shame alongside other life challenges.
In session he focuses on practical problem-solving and direct conversation. He listens and helps people sort out communication problems, control issues, and difficulties that come up during divorce or separation. He also works with questions about life purpose and the specific stresses that come with aging.
Adam sees adults across the lifespan, including young adults and older adults. He helps people whose lives are affected by attachment patterns, mood problems, and family-of-origin wounds. He also supports those working through substance use, smoking cessation, eating-related concerns, and neurodivergent experiences such as autism and Asperger's syndrome.
He pays attention to everyday mechanics of change. That can mean improving how someone talks with a partner or parent, building skills to manage anger, or setting small goals during addiction recovery. He addresses guilt and shame by naming the feeling, tracking how it shows up, and testing different ways of responding to it.
When people contact him they complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session. Sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time, and costs vary with location. Sessions are offered in English and international clients are not currently accepted.
Evidence-based methods and how they work online
Adam uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address practical life problems. One common approach is problem-focused work that breaks larger issues into small, manageable steps; this helps with addiction recovery, behavior change, and day-to-day anger management. Another approach is skills-based work that teaches communication strategies and emotion regulation techniques useful for anxiety, family conflict, and parenting struggles.Choosing the right method is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, test different approaches, and adjust what they do based on what helps. That collaborative process helps clarify whether brief skills practice or deeper exploration is the better fit for a person’s situation.
Confirm the exact session options before booking since the biography does not list them. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and remove the need to travel for appointments. Licensed professionals can use these formats to help people balance therapy with work, caregiving, and other daily responsibilities.
