There are therapists who are ADHD specialists who try to help with behavioral techniques with problems like these. I know there are also some good books out there with behavioral strategies so I'm not sure if the T provides more than one can get on one's own through books. Perhaps the regular meetings help troubleshoot, keep one on track, and provide encouragement. My T recommended an ADHD T if I wanted to go that route, but I chose not to. The ADHD T also offered a group format. My own T has ADHD so he has had some good strategies to recommend based on personal experience. My PNP, who prescribes for me, also has had good suggestions. I don't always implement what they have suggested, though. I have good intentions but poor follow-through.

Unfortunately, my insurance doesn't reimburse for my T, so it's not a choice (if I want to continue seeing him). But it has turned out to have the advantage of privacy.

Since you're thinking of finding a new or a second T, you could look for one with an ADHD specialty.
Good luck.
