About Maximiliano
Maximiliano Nealon is an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor with ten years of clinical experience. He practices in Oregon and works with adults on concerns like anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, parenting questions, grief, and stress. He also focuses on young adult issues including life transitions, identity questions, and the push-pull of early-career choices.
He favors a collaborative, client-centered way of working. He expects clients to bring their own goals and ideas, and he offers practical guidance to help reach them. Sessions often include mindfulness practices and straightforward tools for managing anxiety and overwhelming feelings.
Maximiliano draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to notice and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. He also uses elements of Jungian work and narrative approaches to help people make sense of life shifts and values. Motivational Interviewing is part of his style when someone wants change but feels stuck.
He has years of personal practice with meditation, yoga, tai chi, and music, and brings those lived experiences into how he talks about stress regulation. That can mean brief breathing or grounding exercises and encouragement to find everyday routines that reduce reactivity.
Sessions aim to be practical. Conversations often produce small experiments and steps to try between meetings. Maximiliano invites clients to notice what works and to adjust approaches as they go.
How his approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and collaboration. In practice this means the therapist asks about goals, reflects what he hears, and adjusts the pace to match what the client prefers. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions and offers concrete exercises to test new ways of thinking and behaving; this is often used for anxiety, low mood, and managing stress.Finding the right approach is treated as a team task. He will work with the client to try different methods, notice what helps, and change course when needed. That includes combining elements of CBT, mindfulness, and motivational interviewing depending on the person's goals and preferences.
