About Herschel
Dr. Herschel Pollard is an Arkansas psychologist (AR Psychologist 08-07P) with 58 years of clinical experience. He works with adults on issues such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, grief, parenting strain, addictions, ADHD, and anger. He also lists concerns like trauma and abuse, bipolar issues, and compassion fatigue.
He treats each person as an individual and adapts his approach as needs change. That means sessions are practical and focused on whatever is most pressing - reducing outbursts, managing mounting resentment, or handling anger at work. He does not stick to a single school of thought; he draws from a few established approaches to match the problem at hand.
In practice he emphasizes clear conversation and steady problem-solving. Conversations look at what led to the angry responses, what keeps them going, and small steps to change patterns. He may explore past influences when they help understand current reactions, and he may use short-term strategies to reduce immediate distress.
Clients can expect a mix of talking and active work between sessions, such as practicing new responses or trying different ways of communicating. Over time the sessions shift as progress and priorities change. Dr. Pollard’s long experience is used to help adults sort through practical challenges and find manageable ways to respond to anger and related concerns.
He practices in Arkansas and conducts sessions in English. For international clients he is not accepting work outside the United States.
How sessions work
How his approaches guide online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and supporting the client's own goals; it is useful for people who want a steady, respectful space to sort out anger and priorities. Psychodynamic Therapy looks at how past experiences shape current reactions; it can help when recurring patterns of anger trace back to earlier relationships or life events. Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on concrete steps and short-term goals, which can be useful for reducing immediate outbursts and trying new responses quickly.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to decide which methods fit best based on goals, day-to-day demands, and what feels most helpful. That collaboration can shift over time as progress and needs change.
The biography does not list specific session formats here, so please confirm what is offered before booking. In general, online therapy can make scheduling easier, let sessions fit around work or family commitments, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let a therapist guide practical exercises between appointments and help clients try new communication strategies in real life with follow-up discussion planned for the next session.
