01About Neal
Neal Reiersen is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Arizona who focuses on practical, down-to-earth therapy. He helps people facing depression, anxiety, trauma, addiction, and stress. Neal aims to make sessions straightforward and encouraging so people can take small steps toward better days.
Neal draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and cognitive behavioral ideas to help people notice what matters to them. He pairs that with a client-centered, existential stance that keeps conversations focused on the person's values and choices.
Background and approach
Sessions often involve talking through difficult feelings and testing simple changes between meetings. People come to him for many concerns, including grief, relationship struggles, parenting strain, ADHD, and coping with life changes. He also helps with problems like codependency, attachment difficulties, anger, and substance use.
Neal listens for patterns that get in the way and works with each person to try different responses. His approach emphasizes self-reflection and self-acceptance alongside practical skills. That can mean learning new ways to respond to stress, practicing present-moment awareness, and clarifying what a meaningful life feels like.
The aim is steady progress rather than quick fixes. With about 10 years of experience in the field, Neal offers an encouraging, respectful space to work through painful experiences and to try new ways of living. He focuses on what each person wants to change and supports them in making those steps.

04Online support
Approach-driven online therapy that fits your life
Neal uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify their values and take committed steps toward them, even when difficult thoughts or feelings are present. He also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking and test small behavior changes that reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Neal collaborates with each person to determine which methods match their goals, needs, and preferences, and adjusts the plan as progress is made. The process is conversational and cooperative rather than one-size-fits-all.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy usable in real life. Video calls let you see facial cues and hold longer conversations. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit a work break. Live chat and messaging are useful for brief check-ins, tracking progress, and for people who prefer written communication. These options help therapy stay flexible around schedules and day-to-day demands.
