About Neal
Neal Reiersen is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Arizona. He focuses on helping people manage anger, stress, anxiety, depression, and addictive behaviors. Neal aims to create a supportive space where clients can talk through hard moments and learn practical ways to cope.
He brings ten years of counseling experience and often combines acceptance-based ideas with cognitive tools. That means he helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings, accept what can’t be changed, and take small steps toward what matters.
Background and approach
Sessions emphasize clear goals and usable skills rather than long explanations. Neal uses client-centered and existential ideas to guide sessions. He listens for personal values and what gives someone’s life meaning.
Then he helps shape therapy around those priorities so progress feels relevant and practical. Mindfulness practices and cognitive-behavioral techniques are part of his approach. These methods help with mood symptoms, anxiety, and coping during life transitions.
He also works with people dealing with trauma effects, grief, and relationship struggles. People seeking help with parenting stress, family problems, or issues like attachment and codependency will find a straightforward style. Neal supports people working through guilt, shame, forgiveness, and recovery from drug or alcohol addiction.
The aim is steady, manageable change rather than quick fixes.

Evidence-informed approaches for online therapy
Neal often draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings while committing to actions that match their values. ACT is useful for anxiety, anger, and coping with life changes. He also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thought patterns and test new behaviors; CBT helps with depression, anxiety, and mood symptoms.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Neal will work with each person to decide which methods feel most helpful and adjust as goals evolve. The aim is to match techniques to the client’s needs and preferences rather than sticking to a single method.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and needs. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation for deeper exchanges. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins. Live chat and text messaging work well for on-the-go check-ins or when someone prefers writing to talking. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, parenting, or daily life.
