01About Susanne
Susanne Neal is a licensed counselor who brings 15 years of experience to her work in Colorado. She holds the LPC credential and the LCPC credential, and she focuses on practical help for people facing addiction, trauma, and big life transitions. She often begins by listening closely to what feels most urgent.
Sessions are aimed at building confidence and motivation while reducing things that get in the way of daily life.
Background and approach
Susanne works with issues such as drug and alcohol addiction, smoking and vaping cessation, and recovery after sexual assault. Her approach addresses underlying family of origin issues, guilt and shame, and struggles with self-love. She also helps people clarify life purpose and cope with the fallout of post-traumatic stress.
Conversations are tailored to each person so they feel relevant and straightforward. Susanne emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and compassion in every session. She explains options and adapts the plan as progress is made.
Her style is direct but warm, aiming to help people make usable changes between sessions. Practical steps are a regular part of her work. That can mean small behavior changes, strategies to manage triggers, or ways to rebuild confidence.
She encourages steady progress and acknowledges that starting therapy takes courage.

04Online support
Therapeutic approaches and online options
Susanne draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on clear skills and recovery. One common approach addresses addictive behaviors by identifying triggers, developing coping strategies, and building motivation to change. This work helps people reduce substance use and regain daily function.Another approach targets trauma and its effects by helping people process distressing memories and learn grounding and emotion-regulation techniques. This can reduce the intensity of intrusive memories and help people manage post-traumatic stress reactions in daily life.
Choosing the right approach is part of the collaborative process. The therapist will discuss options and tailor methods to the person’s goals, needs, and preferences. Together they will adjust the plan over time based on what’s helping.
Online therapy is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to make care more flexible. Video lets people use visual cues for a fuller conversation, while phone sessions work well if bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging suit quick check-ins, between-session support, or times when typing feels easier than speaking. These formats help people fit therapy into busy lives and continue work from different locations.
