About Neal

Neal Reiersen is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Arizona who centers his practice on helping people find meaning and move forward. He uses an encouraging, supportive approach and asks questions that prompt reflection and clearer choices. Neal aims to help people manage mood symptoms like anxiety and depression and to address the effects of past trauma.

He combines an existential perspective with practical techniques so people can clarify values and take steps that match what matters to them.

Background and approach

That means talking through what feels stuck, noticing patterns, and trying small behavior changes to see what helps. He also draws from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and cognitive behavioral ideas to support self-acceptance while addressing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Neal works with concerns such as stress, addictions, grief, parenting strain, anger, and challenges tied to identity and relationships.

He also addresses attention difficulties, compassion fatigue, and problems that arise from family of origin or fatherhood issues. His style is steady and respectful while encouraging people to set goals that fit their life. Sessions may include mindfulness exercises, values clarification, thought work, and planning practical next steps.

Neal emphasizes collaboration so clients help steer what gets worked on and how progress is measured. With ten years of experience, he aims to help people move from surviving toward greater purpose and authenticity. Neal frames change as a series of small, meaningful steps rather than sudden fixes.

Online support

How existential and skills-based therapies fit online

Existential work invites people to name what matters and to weigh choices in light of those values. In practice this looks like open conversation about meaning, values clarification exercises, and deciding on concrete steps that align with a person's goals. It can help with life transitions, loss, and questions about purpose.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on accepting difficult thoughts and feelings while committing to actions that match one’s values. Sessions include noticing thoughts, practicing willingness, and setting small behavioral experiments. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts influence feelings and behavior and teaches strategies to test and change unhelpful thinking patterns, which can help with anxiety, depression, and stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Neal will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs and preferences. He frames therapy as a joint process where goals and methods are adjusted as progress is made.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video calls let people use visual cues and deeper conversation, phone sessions can require less bandwidth, and chat or text options work well for quick check-ins or when writing helps clarify thoughts. These formats make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life and try different ways of engaging with therapy.
