About Neal
Neal Reiersen is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Arizona with ten years of clinical experience. He focuses on helping people navigate anxiety, depression, ADHD, addictions, and major life changes. Neal speaks plainly and offers steady, encouraging support in sessions.
He draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and cognitive behavioral ideas to help people notice what matters to them. Sessions often include practical steps for managing mood, routines, and unhelpful thoughts.
Background and approach
Mindfulness and existential ideas are woven in to help people connect with purpose and values. Neal aims to create a space where people can reflect and try new ways of responding to stress. He helps clients name patterns that cause pain and then practice small, concrete changes.
This can include skills for coping with grief, trauma aftereffects, or relationship struggles. He also helps people work through family-related stresses, parenting challenges, and issues tied to fatherhood or family of origin. Neal pays attention to how attachment, codependency, and communication problems affect daily life and relationships.
Sessions tend to be collaborative and goal-focused, with room for self-reflection. Neal encourages steady progress rather than quick fixes. He works with each person to set realistic steps and to track what helps over time.
Evidence-informed approaches for online care
Neal commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) in his online work. ACT helps people clarify values, accept difficult thoughts, and take small steps toward a more meaningful life. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and building practical skills to change behaviors and mood.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Neal collaborates with each person to choose methods that match their goals and daily life. He adapts exercises and pacing based on what the client prefers and how they respond over time.
Online sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video calls let people work face-to-face when that fits. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat or messaging supports shorter check-ins, reflection between sessions, or a different way to communicate when typing feels more comfortable. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, school, or family schedules.
