About Susanne
Susanne Neal is a licensed counselor practicing in Colorado with 15 years of experience. She works with people facing addictions, trauma and abuse, and struggles with self-esteem. She also helps clients adjust to major life changes and build motivation to move forward.
She focuses on respectful, sensitive care in every session. Conversations are shaped to fit a person's needs rather than using a one-size-fits-all approach. Sessions aim to be direct and practical, with straightforward steps people can use between meetings.
Background and approach
Common concerns she addresses include drug and alcohol addiction, smoking and vaping cessation, and the ongoing effects of sexual assault and post-traumatic stress. She also helps people untangle family of origin issues, family problems, and feelings of guilt or shame. Her work often centers on restoring self-love, clarifying life purpose, and rebuilding confidence after difficult experiences.
She collaborates with each person to set manageable goals and to track progress over time. Short-term strategies and longer-term planning are both part of the process. Sessions are offered using video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging.
The starting step is to complete a brief matching questionnaire and schedule sessions that suit your routine. The subscription can be canceled at any time.
Online approaches for addiction and trauma care
Susanne uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical steps and recovery. One approach emphasizes skills for coping with cravings and triggers, teaching behavioral strategies to manage urges and reduce relapse risk. This can help people addressing drug and alcohol addiction or smoking and vaping cessation.Another approach centers on processing trauma and its effects through paced, structured conversations. The work helps people name what happened, reduce distressing reactions, and build self-compassion after sexual assault or other abuse. A third focus is on strengthening self-esteem by identifying unhealthy beliefs and practicing new habits that reinforce self-worth.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with each person to match techniques to their needs, goals, and comfort level. Plans are adjusted over time based on what proves helpful and what the person prefers.
Online therapy is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make care more flexible. Video lets you see nonverbal cues during deeper discussions. Phone sessions require less bandwidth and can fit a break during a busy day. Live chat and text messaging are useful for brief check-ins, homework support, or when typing feels easier than talking. These options help people fit therapy into work, family, and daily routines.
