Online ADHD Therapy in Pennsylvania, West Virginia and Arizona

ADHD is about how a brain works, not about effort

Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a neurodevelopmental condition. It is marked by inattention, such as difficulty paying attention, staying on task or staying organized; hyperactivity, such as feeling restless or talking a lot; and impulsivity, such as interrupting or having trouble waiting.

Symptoms begin in childhood and usually continue into the teen years and adulthood. In adults they can look like trouble staying organized, restlessness, or acting without thinking.

These can be signs of ADHD, though only an evaluation can say. Either way, struggling with focus says nothing about your intelligence or character. If you have spent years working harder than anyone could see, that effort counts. Skills can be learned, and support can make daily life run more smoothly.

What ADHD therapy can and cannot do

Therapy is one part of ADHD care. The National Institute of Mental Health lists psychosocial interventions such as cognitive behavioral therapy, parent training and school interventions among the treatments for ADHD, and names behavioral and cognitive behavioral therapy as common treatment for adults.

This page is about therapy and skills. A therapy session is not an ADHD evaluation, and we do not prescribe medication. An evaluation for ADHD is done by a primary care provider or mental health professional, and medication decisions belong with a prescriber. If you have questions about either, ask us when you book and we will tell you what we can and cannot help with.

What therapy offers is practical: a place to build skills, try them in real life, and adjust them with someone on your side.

Support for children, teens and parents

The CDC describes behavior therapy as an effective treatment for ADHD in children, one that can help reduce difficult behaviors and build self-regulation skills. Parent training in behavior management gives parents skills and strategies to help their child.

Small changes at home can help: following the same schedule every day from wake-up to bedtime, keeping schoolbags and clothing in the same place, and limiting noise and screens during homework. A therapist can help your family choose a few changes and stick with them.

Our team works with children, teens and families. Learn more on our child therapy, teen therapy and family therapy pages.

What online sessions look like

Every session is a secure video visit. There is no commute to plan around and no waiting room, which removes a few of the steps that make appointments easy to miss. You need a phone, tablet or computer, an internet connection and a private spot.

The National Institute of Mental Health says virtual care can be effective for conditions including ADHD. Meeting online also lets your therapist see the real setting, like the desk or the homework corner, and work on it with you. Evening and weekend appointments are available.

Therapy is ongoing care, not emergency care. If you or your child is in crisis, call or text 988, or call 911. Locascio Wellness does not provide emergency services. See our crisis resources page for more.
