About Neal

Neal Reiersen is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Arizona. He draws on ten years of experience to help people dealing with depression, anxiety, stress, addiction, and other disruptive mood symptoms. Neal offers a supportive, encouraging presence where people can reflect and start small, manageable changes.

He focuses on connecting what matters to each person with practical ways to move forward. Neal blends Acceptance and Commitment ideas with cognitive behavioral techniques and mindfulness to help people notice unhelpful patterns and try different choices. He also brings an existential perspective that invites questions about meaning and direction.

In sessions Neal encourages self-acceptance and honest attention to real-world limits. He works with issues such as trauma and abuse, grief, anger, ADHD, and substance use concerns. He also helps with family and relationship challenges, fatherhood issues, communication problems, and codependency.

People who see him can expect a collaborative approach where they set the focus and pace. Neal aims to help people reduce distress, improve coping, and pursue goals that feel authentic to them. He frames progress as small steps rather than sudden fixes.

Neal’s professional credential is LPC, which stands for Licensed Professional Counselor. He practices in Arizona and conducts sessions in English. To get started, readers are invited to use the site’s Start Therapy process to match and schedule with him.

How Neal’s approaches translate to online therapy

Neal commonly draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and it connects actions to personal values to guide change. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a warm, nonjudgmental relationship where the person sets the focus and pace. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thinking and behavior and uses targeted exercises to test and change those patterns.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Neal will collaborate with each person to decide which mix of methods fits their goals and situation. That collaborative process includes trying things, checking what helps, and adjusting the plan over time.

The practical benefits of online therapy make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life. Online work can reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when schedules demand it, and make it simpler to keep continuity when life gets disrupted. Because session formats are not specified here, confirm current session options before booking to learn how appointments are scheduled and delivered.
