Susanne Neal

Susanne Neal is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) with 15 years of clinical experience in Colorado. She works with people struggling with addictions, trauma and abuse, self-esteem, and coping with life changes. Susanne also lists life purpose among her areas of focus and addresses related concerns such as guilt, shame, and family of origin issues.

Her approach is straightforward and practical. Sessions involve talking through what’s felt and what gets in the way of change. She helps people break down habits linked to drug and alcohol use and supports steps toward smoking and vaping cessation. When trauma or sexual assault is part of the story, she works to reduce the daily impact those memories have on functioning.

Susanne pays attention to how family patterns affect current choices and relationships. She also focuses on building self-love and confidence so people can make clearer decisions about work, relationships, and purpose. Her work includes helping people who are wrestling with what comes next after a major life change.

Over her 15 years in practice she has seen many patterns repeat across different situations. That experience shapes how she frames a first session and the plan that follows. Sessions use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time, and the cost varies with location.

How her therapeutic approaches work online

Two evidence-informed strategies she uses are focused cognitive work and behavioral habit change. Focused cognitive work means looking at the thoughts that keep people stuck and trying different ways of thinking and responding; it can help with low self-esteem and indecision about life purpose. Behavioral habit change involves breaking down addictive behaviors into small steps, practicing alternatives, and tracking what helps reduce cravings or urges.

She also draws on trauma-focused methods that aim to reduce how much past abuse shapes present reactions. Those approaches emphasize stabilizing day-to-day functioning, improving emotion regulation, and slowly addressing painful memories in manageable ways. Which mix of methods she uses is decided together, based on the person's needs, goals, and preferences.r>
