About Matthew
Dr. Matthew Reiser helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strains, trauma, and issues with self-esteem. He also supports those dealing with addictions, grief, parenting questions, intimacy concerns, sleep or eating problems, and challenges related to career and life transitions. He lists Men's wellbeing among his areas of focus and brings 19 years of clinical experience to his work.
His sessions are described as empathic and interactive. He listens closely and adapts his approach to each person's needs. He leans on practical methods that encourage people to notice what matters to them and take steps that fit their life.
Dr. Reiser draws from cognitive behavioral techniques, client-centered ideas, and emotion-focused practices. That means he helps people identify unhelpful thinking patterns, speaks in a direct supportive way, and pays attention to emotions that show up in relationships. He also has experience with acceptance and commitment approaches and skills-based strategies for emotional regulation.
He trained in psychology and counseling through programs at the University of Utah, Utah State University, and Brigham Young University, and he lists a Utah psychologist credential. Much of his work has been in university counseling centers, alongside several years in private practice. He says he tailors therapy to each person's background and goals.
Outside of work he enjoys sports, music, travel, and spending time outdoors with family and friends. Prospective clients are asked to use the site to begin the matching process and schedule according to the therapist's availability.
How his approaches fit into online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that match their values. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns to reduce distress and improve day-to-day functioning. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and sleep or eating issues. Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT) attends to emotions as key information in relationships and personal struggles, helping people understand and shift patterns that maintain pain.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about symptoms, life context, and goals, then suggest approaches that fit. Clients and the therapist check in and adjust methods as progress and needs change.
Details about session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when a full in-person visit is difficult. They can also support continuity of care while someone is traveling or between in-person appointments. Licensed professionals can adapt these approaches to an online setting so the focus stays on practical skills, emotion work, and values-based action rather than on the delivery method.
