About Neal
Neal Reiersen is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Arizona with ten years of experience. He works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, relationship strain, parenting concerns, and anger. Neal also supports those facing trauma, grief, bipolar mood challenges, and difficulties with attention and focus.
His approach blends Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) with cognitive-behavioral ideas and a client-centered stance. Neal invites self-reflection and self-acceptance as practical steps. He helps people notice thoughts and feelings without letting them decide actions on autopilot.
Neal uses existential ideas to help people clarify what matters to them. Sessions focus on small, concrete changes that reflect a client’s values. He also draws on mindfulness practices to help reduce reactivity and improve focus in stressful moments.
In sessions he talks through patterns that keep problems going, such as control struggles, codependency, or communication breakdowns. He offers tools for coping with life changes, managing resentment, and handling family-of-origin issues. Neal also addresses substance use concerns and compassion fatigue with pragmatic steps.
People who come because anger is affecting work or close relationships find practical strategies for noticing triggers and responding differently. He emphasizes steady progress over quick fixes and works with clients to set realistic, doable goals.
How his ACT, CBT and mindfulness work online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people name what matters and take small actions toward those values while noticing difficult thoughts. It is useful for anger tied to frustration, avoidance, or repeated unhelpful patterns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and gives clear techniques to test and change unhelpful thinking. CBT can help with workplace frustration, relationship tensions, and mood symptoms. Mindfulness therapy offers simple practices to notice urges and physical tension so reactions can be paused and chosen rather than automatic.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Neal will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and daily life. He uses the client’s feedback and early progress to adjust focus and pick practical tools together.
