About Adam
Adam Poll is an LMFT (Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist) based in Utah with 25 years of clinical experience helping adults work through stress, anxiety, addictions, family conflict, parenting challenges, and anger. He names young adults through older adults among the people he sees and addresses issues such as attachment, social anxiety, guilt, shame, and life purpose.
Across long and short-term work he focuses on practical problem solving and clearer communication. Sessions often cover family-of-origin wounds, divorce and separation, fatherhood concerns, and problems with control. He also assists people dealing with substance use, smoking cessation, eating issues, and anger management.
Adam describes support for neurodivergent experiences, including autism and Asperger syndrome, and helps people with avoidant personality traits and related communication difficulties. He regularly addresses aging and geriatric transitions alongside more typical young adult concerns like starting work, relationships, and feeling behind peers.
His stated style emphasizes direct listening and collaborative planning rather than abstract theory. He aims to help people break down problems into manageable steps and develop clearer ways to communicate with others.
For those considering a first session, he uses a subscription model that can be canceled at any time and works within the scope of his Utah LMFT credential. Prospective clients should confirm current session options and formats before booking.
How evidence-based approaches translate to online work
Many of his methods focus on practical, evidence-based techniques that help people change patterns and manage symptoms. For example, behavioral strategies involve trying small, measurable changes in daily routines to reduce anxiety and strong urges. These techniques are useful for stress, addiction-related urges, and building new habits.Another common approach is communication-focused work that teaches clear, direct ways to say what you need and to set boundaries. This kind of skill-building helps with family conflict, parenting stress, and relationship tensions that often follow major life changes.
Choosing the best approach is a collaborative process. He works with each person to weigh options based on their goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before. That conversation shapes whether sessions concentrate on behavior changes, communication skills, or problem-focused planning.
Confirm the current session formats before booking to learn how he runs sessions remotely. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and avoid travel for appointments. Many adults find these practical benefits help them keep consistent progress while balancing school, work, and family commitments.
