ADHD Coaching FAQs

Thinking about working with an ADHD coach? Here are the answers to some of the most common questions about how ADHD coaching works, why it’s effective, and how it can help you succeed.

ADHD coaching works because it provides external support, accountability, and customized strategies tailored to how your brain operates.

Coaches understand the unique challenges of ADHD and help you build success systems that fit your life. Techniques like body doubling, layered task management, and prioritization tools ensure you’re equipped to handle your goals.

ADHD coaching has been shown to be effective through various studies highlighting its benefits:

  • About 80% of adults with ADHD who receive coaching report greater success in achieving personal and professional goals, due to personalized and structured support. (Effective Effort Consulting)
  • Approximately 75% of individuals receiving executive function coaching report higher success rates in achieving their goals. (Cleveland Clinic)
  • Around 70% of individuals with ADHD report significant improvements in executive functioning skills after engaging in ADHD coaching. (Psychology Today)
  • Research suggests that the positive outcomes from ADHD coaching are maintained over time, indicating its potential for long-term benefits. (Medical News Today)

While therapy often focuses on emotional health, ADHD coaching is action-oriented and goal-focused. Coaching is about creating systems, improving productivity, and tackling challenges like time management or organization.

It’s forward-thinking and designed to help you thrive in your day-to-day life.

The length of your coaching journey depends on your goals. Many clients start seeing changes after the first session or two, but we recommend at least three months for sustainable growth. 

Some clients seek coaching for a specific project or phase in their lives, while others look for long-term accountability to support lasting growth. Every journey is unique, which is why I tailor my approach to meet your individual needs.

Whether you’re looking for short-term guidance or ongoing support, I’m here to help you achieve your goals.

Everyone is different, but many people start noticing improvements within the first few sessions, especially if we can prioritize key actions or create a clear game plan for immediate goals. This approach helps build momentum and encourages meaningful action.

The goal isn’t to rush change, but to create sustainable progress by working toward your goals and building effective habits.

Living with ADHD or executive dysfunction means our brains process things differently—it’s not a weakness but a unique way of operating that we can leverage to our advantage. Together, we’ll find strategies that work for you, empowering you to create lasting change and achieve your goals with confidence.

Coaching sessions are held virtually via Zoom or phone, depending on your preference.

Zoom is typically most effective for a face-to-face connection. Additionally, I use project tracking tools like Basecamp and offer 1:1 text and voice messaging support via Voxer to keep you on track between sessions.

One of the key differentiators of my coaching is the support you receive outside of sessions.

Growth doesn’t just happen in-session—it’s an ongoing process. I provide accountability, reminders, and personalized guidance through tools like Basecamp for project tracking and Voxer for text and voice messaging.

This ensures you stay on track and have the encouragement you need.

Payments are processed securely through Stripe. I accept credit and debit cards, Apple Pay, Cash App, and, for larger coaching packages or bundles, Klarna for flexible payment options.

Your coaching experience is completely customized. Together, we’ll explore what works for you, whether it’s developing new habits, managing tasks differently, or addressing specific goals. ADHD coaching isn’t one-size-fits-all—it’s about finding solutions that fit your unique strengths and challenges.

Body doubling is a proven ADHD technique where having someone present—either physically or virtually—helps you stay focused on a task. Layered task management breaks large goals into smaller, actionable steps, ensuring tasks feel manageable and achievable. Both techniques are frequently used in my coaching sessions to support your success.

Yes! In addition to working with adults, I’m the founder of HappyStudent.net, where I specialize in coaching teens and college students. From executive function challenges to navigating the transition to college, I help students thrive academically and personally.

If you’re feeling overwhelmed, struggling to stay organized, or simply want to learn strategies that work for your brain, ADHD coaching could be the solution.

It’s designed to help you overcome challenges, harness your strengths, and create lasting success in all areas of life.
