About Neal
Neal Reiersen is an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor in Arizona with 10 years of experience. He focuses on stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, and related struggles such as low self-esteem and ADHD. Neal helps people who feel stuck by listening and helping them notice what matters to them.
He often uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy alongside cognitive behavioral ideas to combine practical skills with values-based work. That means sessions can include attention to thoughts and behaviors, along with exercises about values and small steps toward change. He also draws on client-centered and existential approaches so the person directs the main focus of therapy.
Neal works with issues tied to family background, attachment, and codependency patterns. He also addresses grief, anger, parenting stresses, substance use concerns, and the fallout from betrayal or infidelity. Sessions are aimed at clearer thinking, better coping, and more dependable choices in day-to-day life.
In practical terms Neal encourages self-reflection and learning new habits. He uses mindfulness techniques to help people notice unhelpful reactions and choose different responses. Sessions mix conversation, short exercises, and down-to-earth planning for what to try between meetings.
People who want straightforward help identifying values, reducing avoidance, and making steady changes may find his approach useful. Neal conducts therapy in English and works from Arizona as an LPC.
How sessions work
How his approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people name what matters to them and take small committed steps toward those values. In an online setting ACT work often uses brief exercises and real-life planning to reduce avoidance and build meaningful routine. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on noticing thoughts and testing them through behavior changes. Online CBT sessions typically include simple skills training, short worksheets, and homework to practice between meetings. Client-centered therapy prioritizes the person's agenda and pacing, giving space for reflection while the therapist follows the client's lead.Finding the best approach is part of the process. Neal will collaborate with each person to choose which methods fit their goals and daily life. He uses discussion and simple experiments to check what helps and adjusts the plan as needed.
Session formats are not listed in the profile, so confirm the current online options before booking. Online work can make appointments easier to fit into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. Many people find it easier to try exercises at home and bring what happens in daily life back to the conversation for quick troubleshooting.
