About Matthew
Dr. Matthew Reiser is a Utah psychologist (UT Psychologist 5184406-2501) with 19 years of clinical experience. He works with adults on stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and family concerns, and a range of related issues such as parenting, grief, and intimacy difficulties.
He uses straightforward, interactive sessions that mix talk and practical skills. Sessions often draw on cognitive-behavioral methods to address unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. He also uses client-centered techniques to focus on the person's immediate concerns and emotionally-focused work to address relational patterns and attachment-related issues.
Dr. Reiser's background includes work across university counseling centers and private practice settings. That experience has exposed him to common adult concerns like career stress, eating and sleeping difficulties, addictions, ADHD, and adjustment after major life changes. He has also worked with adoption, blended family issues, and attachment-related patterns stemming from family of origin dynamics.
In sessions he typically helps people identify recurring family roles and expectations that continue to shape their relationships now. He talks through communication problems, commitment worries, and managing anger or control issues. He also addresses practical coping skills for chronic illness, caregiver stress, and grief.
Dr. Reiser trained in multiple therapy approaches and integrates them to match a person's goals. He holds a Ph.D. in Counseling Psychology and draws on nearly two decades of clinical practice to help adults notice and change patterns rooted in their family history.
How his therapeutic approaches translate to online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying personal values and taking steps toward them while learning to sit with difficult thoughts. Online ACT can help with anxiety, stress, and life changes by teaching practical exercises for use between sessions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets thinking and behavior patterns that keep problems going, using structured work such as thought records and behavioral experiments that adapt well to remote sessions. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) concentrates on emotional responses and relational interaction patterns to improve closeness and communication in relationships.Finding the right approach is part of the work. He will collaborate with each person to identify which methods fit their goals and preferences and may blend elements from different approaches depending on needs. That collaborative process helps set realistic steps and homework that suit everyday life.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. In general, remote sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow short check-ins when needed. Online work also supports using practical tools and worksheets between meetings so progress continues outside the session.
