About Adam
Adam Poll is an LMFT (Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist) practicing in Utah with 25 years of experience. He works with people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, family and parenting concerns, and anger. He also helps those questioning their life purpose and people dealing with grief, guilt, or relationship breakups.
He sees adults across the lifespan and assists with attachment patterns, social anxiety, and challenges that appear with aging. He supports people managing substance use, smoking cessation, eating-related concerns, and the effects of family-of-origin wounds. Autism and Asperger Syndrome are also noted among the issues he addresses.
Adam favors direct, practical work. Sessions focus on clear goals, better communication skills, and steps people can try between meetings. He listens for recurring patterns and helps identify habits that keep people stuck, then practices alternate ways of responding.
When addiction or self-harm is part of the concern, he combines relapse prevention strategies with planning for safer choices. For parenting and fatherhood issues he emphasizes improving daily routines, boundary setting, and conflict management. For people coping with divorce or separation he helps sort priorities and next steps.
Clients who feel uncertain about what comes next often bring questions about meaning and direction. He treats those questions as practical problems to unpack together. The approach aims to clarify options and test small changes rather than promise a single solution.
How therapeutic approaches guide remote work
Adam uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques focused on practical change. One common approach is skills-based work that teaches specific tactics for managing anxiety, anger, and cravings. This work emphasizes step-by-step practices you can try between sessions to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning.Another approach focuses on examining relationship and attachment patterns. That method looks at how past family dynamics shape current reactions and teaches clearer communication and boundary-setting to improve interactions. It is often helpful for parenting concerns, family conflict, and separation issues.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will review your history, current goals, and what has or hasn’t helped before to decide which methods to prioritize. Sessions are adjusted over time based on what is most useful for you.
The original biography does not list specific online formats, so confirm current session options before booking. In general, remote work can make therapy fit into a busy life by removing commute time and allowing shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let people attend from quieter surroundings, use phone-only meetings if bandwidth is limited, or schedule sessions around work and caregiving commitments.
