About Adam
Adam Poll is an LMFT (Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist) practicing in Utah with 25 years of experience. He focuses on stress, anxiety, addictions, family concerns, parenting, and anger. He also works with issues tied to family of origin, attachment, and life purpose.
He helps people unravel patterns that started in the family they grew up in and still affect how they relate now. Sessions often address communication problems, control issues, and forgiveness. He also supports people dealing with substance use, eating concerns, and anger management.
Adam works with adults across the lifespan, including those facing aging and geriatric questions or fathers navigating role changes. He brings practical problem-solving to conversations about social anxiety, guilt and shame, and the fallout from divorce and separation.
He regularly supports people on recovery paths such as addiction and smoking cessation, and he is familiar with neurodivergent experiences including autism and Asperger Syndrome. His background includes long-term clinical work in Utah settings with diverse adult clients.
In sessions he focuses on building direct communication skills and clearer decision-making. Conversations are aimed at identifying unhelpful family patterns and testing new ways of relating. People leave with specific next steps to practice between meetings.
Therapeutic approaches and online sessions
Adam works with evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change. One common approach is helping people examine family-of-origin patterns - identifying repeated roles and expectations learned in childhood and testing different ways of relating in adult life. This can help with communication problems, control issues, and persistent guilt or shame. A second approach centers on behavioral strategies for anxiety and addictions. That involves breaking problems into measurable steps, building small routines, and practicing new behaviors between sessions to reduce urges or anxiety-driven reactions. Choosing the right mix of methods is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss options, try approaches, and adjust based on the client's goals and preferences. Clients and therapist collaborate on which techniques seem to help most. Confirm the current session options before booking since formats are not specified in the biography. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life by removing travel time and allowing shorter check-ins when needed. They are often useful for people who want to continue regular work on family patterns while managing daily responsibilities.Areas of expertise
