About Susanne

LPC, LCPC Susanne Neal has practiced for 15 years in Colorado and focuses on addictions, trauma and abuse, self-esteem, and coping with life changes. She works with adults who struggle with drug and alcohol addiction, post-traumatic stress, and the fallout from sexual assault and abuse. Sessions address practical problems such as smoking or vaping cessation and feelings of guilt or shame.

Susanne approaches therapy with respect and sensitivity. She adapts conversations and the treatment plan to what each person brings. That can mean straightforward goal-setting, step-by-step plans to reduce substance use, or slower work on rebuilding trust after trauma.

In sessions she uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide interventions. That might include focused strategies to manage cravings, tools to reduce distressing symptoms, and exercises to strengthen self-regard. She can also help people think through family of origin issues and current family problems when those affect recovery or self-worth.

Susanne frames treatment around clear, manageable steps. She helps people identify small changes that fit into daily life. Expect concise check-ins on progress and adjustments to the plan when needed.

Practical matters such as cost use a subscription that can be canceled at any time. Sessions are conducted in English.

Evidence-based approaches and remote sessions

Susanne works with evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on reducing symptoms and changing behavior. For example, structured behavioral strategies help with addictions by identifying triggers, building alternative coping skills, and setting stepwise reduction goals. These interventions are practical and aimed at day-to-day changes.

She also uses trauma-focused methods to address post-traumatic stress and recovery after sexual assault or abuse. That work involves grounding techniques, managing distressing memories, and gradually rebuilding a sense of safety and self-respect. Techniques are selected to match symptom level and readiness to engage.

Choosing the right approach is collaborative. The therapist and client review needs, goals, and preferences and then try strategies that fit those priorities. Plans are adjusted as progress is tracked so the client helps shape which methods continue.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around school, work, or caregiving by removing travel time. It can also allow shorter check-ins when a full session is not feasible, or reduce the need for video if a quieter or lower-bandwidth option is preferable. These practical benefits help people include therapy in their routine without promising a particular service.
