Does anyone know good and especially cheap therapists who do online therapy for ADHD?

Hello. I was diagnosed with ADHD one year ago already (I was 35 back then), but since then I'm only with medical treatment, in other words, with medication. This medication can keep my ADHD symptoms under control, at a degree. But it does absolutely nothing against my executive dysfunction and my focus issues, and I don't have...

I don’t have any recommendations for online services, but just wondering if you necessarily need to see a psychologist every week? If you’re only seeing one every other week or once or twice a month would that fit your budget better?

I went to psychologists for several reasons since 2013, that was 10 years before my diagnosis. And all of them had weekly sessions, because according to them, the more close in time those sessions are, the better those results are for the patient.

EDIT: How often should you go to the psychologist during therapy?

¿Con qué frecuencia hay que acudir al psicólogo durante la terapia?

I guess it must depend on the country, but those with proper licensing tend to be restricted to practicing only with people in their jurisdiction.

While weekly is the standard, many therapists will work with you and your needs. Depending on what you seek in relation to ADHD, a monthly session followed by "homework" could be viable

That would be really affordable to me, even with local therapists. I'll try.

I want to honor that "homework" is not the easiest undertaking for those with ADHD. The assignments should meet you where you are at. The intention is either (a) to help you rewire, (b) have experiences of successes somewhere that you usually don't or (c) teach externalization skills to compensate for your wiring. Overarching all this, a good therapist will be able to put words to your experience of ADHD. It's really helpful in and of itself to have someone grok you
