About Maximiliano

Maximiliano Nealon is an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor with ten years of clinical experience based in Oregon. He works with stress, anxiety, parenting and family concerns, depression, grief, anger, self-esteem, and related issues such as codependency and multicultural concerns. Sessions are offered in English and Spanish, and he accepts international clients.

He uses a collaborative, client-centered style. He listens for what a person already knows about their life and helps test new ways of thinking and behaving. That may look like spotting unhelpful thoughts, trying a simple experiment between sessions, or using breathing and mindfulness practices to calm intense moments.

Maximiliano draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to map connections between thoughts, feelings, and actions. He also includes mindfulness practices and elements of Jungian and narrative work when helpful. Motivational Interviewing is used to support change when someone feels stuck or unsure how to begin.

In sessions he keeps things practical and action oriented. Meetings tend to focus on small, doable steps that fit into daily life. He offers straightforward coaching on skills for parenting, managing anger, coping with grief, and improving self-esteem.

Clients can expect a conversational approach that balances reflection with concrete exercises. The initial sessions focus on specific goals and an agreed plan. From there he and the client review progress and adjust strategies to keep work moving forward.

How his approaches translate to online sessions

Maximiliano commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors. CBT sessions online often include setting clear homework, tracking thoughts between meetings, and reviewing short exercises together.

He also integrates Client-Centered Therapy, which emphasizes listening and collaboration so a person’s goals guide the work. That approach helps when someone needs practical problem solving and steady support while they try new strategies. Mindfulness Therapy is used as well, offering simple breathing and attention exercises to manage stress and strong emotion.

Finding the right mix is a collaborative process. He works with each person to choose approaches that match their goals, pace, and preferences, and he adjusts methods as progress is reviewed. The client and therapist decide together what to try and when to change direction.

Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and let people use practices between meetings without travel. Ask about language options and scheduling when you set up an initial appointment.
