Background and approach
Sessions focus on practical strategies and clearer thinking, along with attention to emotions and relationships. Dr. Reiser uses a mix of methods to fit each person he sees.
He blends cognitive behavioral techniques with client-centered conversation and emotion-focused work. He aims to tailor the plan to the specific problems and goals brought into the room. He trained in psychology and counseling, completing a Ph.D. in counseling psychology.
He has worked for several university counseling centers and has spent time in independent practice. That background gives him experience with a wide range of presenting concerns. People can expect a calm, interactive style that balances skill-building and emotional processing.
Dr. Reiser often includes behavior-focused work, relationship-focused conversation, and tools for coping with strong feelings. He enjoys helping people discover what works for them and move forward one step at a time.
How his approaches translate to online therapy
Dr. Reiser often uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice difficult thoughts and feelings and focus on values-based action. ACT can be useful for anxiety, stress, and coping with life changes. He also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and build concrete skills for mood and behavior change. CBT is commonly applied to anxiety, depression, and sleep or eating concerns.Finding the right approach is part of the work. He will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. That means trying techniques, checking what helps, and adjusting the plan together over time.
Online sessions offer flexibility and practical benefits. Video calls let people work face-to-face when a live conversation is helpful. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or a quicker check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging allow shorter, focused exchanges between sessions for reminders, exercises, or brief support. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to keep momentum between appointments.
