Brooke Boyd Counseling offers online psychotherapy and life coaching for ADHD and executive functioning support in Utah, with attention to the anxiety and trauma that often show up alongside these challenges.
ADHD & Executive Functioning Therapy in Utah
Living with ADHD or executive functioning challenges often means your days feel harder than they look on paper. You might know exactly what you want to do: finish a project, return a call, organize your space, but actually getting started and following through feels surprisingly hard. Plans pile up, small tasks feel enormous, and it is easy to slip into self-blame or shame. At Brooke Boyd Counseling, therapy and life coaching with Brooke offer practical tools, gentle structure, and compassionate support so you can move through your days with more confidence, less criticism, and a deeper understanding of how your brain works.
How ADHD and executive functioning challenges show up day to day
You might wonder if what you are experiencing is ADHD, “just” procrastination, burnout, or something else. ADHD and executive functioning difficulties often overlap, and they commonly look like:
- Starting many projects but struggling to finish them, even when they matter to you.
- Frequently running late, underestimating how long tasks will take, or feeling like time is either “now” or “not now” with little in between.
- Difficulty organizing your home, workspace, or digital life, leading to piles, missed emails, or misplaced items.
- Feeling mentally “noisy” or scattered, finding it hard to focus on one thing at a time.
- Overthinking simple tasks because they feel overwhelming to start.
- Struggling to remember appointments, deadlines, or important details unless there are multiple reminders.
- Experiencing emotional ups and downs, especially shame, self-criticism, or frustration when plans do not go as expected.
- Masking or overcompensating at work, in school, or in relationships, which can lead to burnout.
These patterns are not character flaws or laziness. They are common experiences when the brain has a different way of managing attention, motivation, planning, and follow-through. With the right support, you can build systems that work for your brain instead of constantly working against it.
How psychotherapy can support ADHD and executive functioning (Utah residents)
As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker based in Utah, Brooke offers psychotherapy that addresses both the practical and emotional sides of ADHD and executive functioning. Therapy can help you:
- Understand how your history, nervous system, and environment affect attention, motivation, and follow-through.
- Address anxiety, trauma, or perfectionism that may be making it harder to start or complete tasks.
- Explore patterns like people-pleasing, overcommitting, or burnout that often accompany ADHD.
- Develop compassionate self-talk and reduce shame so you can experiment with new strategies without fear of failure.
- Learn evidence-informed tools for planning, prioritizing, and managing overwhelm in a sustainable way.
Psychotherapy is a good fit if you are noticing emotional distress alongside your executive functioning challenges — for example, ongoing anxiety, trauma responses, depression, or relationship struggles. Sessions are available for Utah residents via secure telehealth.
How life coaching can help with organization, focus, and follow-through (nationwide)
Life coaching with Brooke is practical, skills-focused, and tailored to your real life. Coaching is available to clients nationwide and can complement psychotherapy or stand on its own. Together, you will:
- Clarify your priorities so you are working toward what actually matters, not just what feels urgent.
- Create simple, flexible systems for calendars, to-do lists, and reminders that work with your brain.
- Break down overwhelming projects into manageable steps with clear starting points.
- Experiment with focus strategies, such as body doubling, time-blocking, or timed work sessions.
- Develop routines that support your energy, attention, and emotional regulation.
- Build realistic accountability and check-ins so you are not doing this work alone.
Coaching sessions focus on action, planning, and follow-through. While emotions are welcomed and honored, life coaching is not a replacement for psychotherapy, crisis support, or medical care.
What to expect when you get started
It is important that you feel understood and not judged. From the first contact, the focus is on making the process as clear and low-pressure as possible.
- 1. Explore services. Read about psychotherapy, life coaching, clinical supervision, and other services to see what fits best with what you are looking for.
- 2. Book your session. Choose a time for psychotherapy (Utah residents), life coaching (nationwide), or supervision hours (for CSWs). You will receive confirmation and any needed forms.
- 3. Share your story. In your first session, you and Brooke will talk about what is working, what is not, and what you hope will feel different in your daily life.
- 4. Build skills together. Session by session, you will experiment with tools for organization, focus, and follow-through, and adjust them to fit your real life.
You do not have to have everything figured out before reaching out. Part of Brooke’s role as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker is to help you determine which service is the best fit and how to move forward at a pace that works for you.
If ADHD or executive functioning challenges are making daily life feel heavier than it needs to be, you are welcome to take a next small step. You can explore services, book a psychotherapy session in Utah, or schedule life coaching from anywhere in the U.S. when you feel ready.
