About Neal
Neal Reiersen is an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor practicing in Arizona with ten years of experience. He works with stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, relationship struggles, and concerns connected to family of origin issues. Neal also helps people facing parenting strain, grief, ADHD, and mood symptoms such as bipolar disorder.
Neal uses practical, talk-based methods rooted in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. He encourages self-reflection and helps people notice patterns that repeat from their upbringing. Sessions focus on small, actionable steps toward clearer choices and fewer automatic reactions.
He draws on client-centered and existential approaches to let each person set the agenda. That means conversations usually begin where the person feels stuck, then move toward clearer values and manageable behavior changes. Mindfulness techniques are used to slow things down and reduce reactivity when needed.
Neal has worked with people dealing with addiction, trauma and abuse, anger, and relationship conflict. He also addresses attachment issues, codependency, communication problems, and fatherhood concerns. His approach tends to emphasize understanding how past family patterns affect present behavior.
Sessions aim to translate insight into everyday habits. Neal helps people practice different responses to old triggers and test new ways of relating. He asks for feedback and adjusts the focus as needs change, keeping the work grounded and practical.
Therapeutic approaches used in online sessions
Neal draws from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. That approach is useful for anxiety, depression, and problems rooted in old family patterns.He also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking and try different behaviors. CBT is often practical for mood symptoms, stress, and managing addictive behaviors. Client-centered elements mean the person shapes the focus while the therapist follows and reflects what matters most.
Finding the best approach is collaborative. Neal will talk with the person about goals, preferences, and what has worked before. Together they try methods and adjust the focus based on what makes sense for daily life and the issues brought into sessions.
