About Maximiliano
Maximiliano Nealon is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) based in Oregon who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, and parenting challenges. He speaks English and Spanish and draws on ten years of practice to guide clients through hard moments. He focuses on practical steps people can try between sessions and on building skills that stick.
He uses a collaborative, client-centered way of working. That means he listens carefully and helps people find their own answers rather than imposing solutions.
Background and approach
Sessions often include mindfulness practices and concrete techniques to manage difficult thoughts and feelings. Cognitive behavioral ideas are part of his approach when people want clear tools to change patterns of thinking and behavior. He also brings elements of Jungian and narrative work to help people understand deeper life themes and personal meaning.
Maximiliano has experience with grief, trauma and abuse, relationship struggles, compassion fatigue, and identity concerns including LGBT issues. He also supports people dealing with codependency, forgiveness, life purpose, and challenges common to young adults and men. Sessions may include short coaching-style conversations, longer therapeutic exploration, guided mindfulness, and practical homework.
He tailors the mix to each person’s goals and pace, and adapts methods to fit individual needs.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and responding to each person’s priorities. Online sessions use that same listening-first approach while working toward goals the client identifies, which helps when people bring issues like parenting stress or life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, offers specific tools to change unhelpful thinking and behavior. In remote sessions this often means setting small experiments, tracking thoughts between meetings, and practicing new skills on a regular schedule.Finding the right mix of techniques is part of the process. The therapist will collaborate with the client to decide whether more mindfulness practice, CBT exercises, or deeper narrative exploration fits best. That choice can shift over time as goals change and progress is made.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls enable full conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, short text check-ins work well for quick coaching or skill reminders, and live chat can be useful for focused problem-solving. These options make therapy easier to fit around work, school, and family life by offering flexibility and different ways to connect.
