ADHD Therapy for Adults in Georgia

Online ADHD Counseling with Maddy Buxton, LPC

For People who have ADHD, ADD, or identify as Neurodivergent

What is ADHD Therapy?

ADHD therapy is therapy that helps adults better understand how their experienced ADHD symptoms affects their thoughts, emotions, behaviors, beliefs, and daily functioning. ADHD Therapy can provide practical tools and skills for improving focus, organization, emotional regulation, time management, and self-confidence while reducing stress, anxiety, low self worth, and overwhelm. It can also help you process trauma related to low self worth or experiences that are common amongst people with ADHD.

Who can benefit from ADHD Therapy?

Adults struggling with inattention, procrastination, overwhelm, executive dysfunction, rejection sensitive dysphoria, perfectionism, time management challenges, emotional dysregulation, people pleasing, or difficulty maintaining routines may benefit from ADHD therapy.

Can Therapy Help Adults with ADHD?

Yes. Therapy can help adults with ADHD develop personalized strategies for managing executive functioning challenges, reducing procrastination, improving relationships, and coping with anxiety, depression, and self-esteem concerns that often accompany ADHD.

Do you offer online ADHD therapy in Georgia?

Yes. Maddy Buxton, LPC, provides virtual ADHD therapy for adults throughout Georgia. Online therapy sessions can offer you a convenient way to access personalized mental health support from the comfort of your home.

ADHD Life Coaching is a bit more specific than Therapy for ADHD. ADHD Life Coaching is strictly present and future focused. It helps people accomplish specific goals to help them live the life they want to live and, works with accountability, and provides practical life management strategies.

ADHD therapy can also do this, but it also allows us to dig into the past and process the psychological impacts and emotions related to ADHD such as negative beliefs about yourself, experienced trauma, and difficult feelings. ADHD Therapy also provides psychoeducation.

Both are great options. If you’re not sure which service may be the best fit for you, reach out to me and we can figure it out together.

My approach to therapy for ADHD

What works for one person with ADHD may not work for another person with ADHD, so it’s important to find what works for you specifically.

Whether you have a formal diagnosis of inattentive ADHD, hyperactive ADHD, or a Combined type ADHD, identify as neurodivergent, want to learn more about ADHD, learn coping skills and strategies to manage symptoms, need a safe space to process lived experiences, or anything in-between, my years of experience as a Mental Health Counselor and certified ADHD Life Coach can help you reach your therapy goals.

There are common distressing feelings and experiences for neurodivergent people that show up in different ways. Some of these things include (but are not limited to):

  • Depression

  • Internalized Pressure

  • Perfectionism

  • Time blindness

  • Analysis Paralysis

  • Decision fatigue

  • Feeling overwhelmed

  • Anxiety

  • Emotional Dysregulation

  • Rejection Sensitive Dysphoria

  • Difficulty Maintaining Relationships

  • People pleasing

  • Difficulty Starting and/or Completing Tasks

  • Task Switching

  • Procrastinating

  • Staying organized

I use a blend of therapeutic techniques and modalities to help you meet your unique therapy goals. I have found that I most commonly use solution focused brief therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavioral therapy, and person-centered therapy in therapy sessions for ADHD.

These challenges often contribute to feelings of overwhelm, analysis paralysis, and burnout. Sometimes perfectionism tendencies also lead to difficulty starting or completing tasks which can contribute to feeling overwhelm.

  • ADHD and anxiety frequently occur together. Difficulties with organization, deadlines, and emotional regulation can increase stress and contribute feelings of anxiety. Often times ADHD is misdiagnosed as a combination of anxiety and ADHD, especially if it’s inattentive ADHD.

  • Yes. ADHD can impact communication, emotional regulation, time management, and follow-through, which may create challenges in personal and professional relationships. I also work with couples where one, both, or all parties have ADHD or some form of neurodivergence.
