About Matthew

Dr. Matthew Reiser is a licensed psychologist based in Utah who helps people cope with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, and trauma. He also supports those dealing with grief, parenting and family concerns, addiction issues, eating and sleeping problems, and life changes including coping with natural or human-caused disaster. He brings 19 years of experience to his work and aims to treat each person with compassion and respect.

His style is warm and interactive. Sessions focus on practical steps and clear goals. He listens carefully, helps people name what feels hard, and works with them to try different ways to move forward.

Dr. Reiser blends several approaches to match a person's needs. He uses cognitive behavioral ideas to spot and change unhelpful thinking and behavior. Client-centered elements shape sessions so people feel heard and understood. Emotion-focused work helps people get clearer about painful feelings and how to respond to them.

He earned a Ph.D. in Counseling Psychology and has worked in multiple university counseling centers and in private practice. That background includes work with people facing career concerns, sport psychology issues, and biofeedback; he holds a biofeedback certification noted in his original biography. He prefers to tailor therapy to each person rather than use one fixed method.

Outside of work he enjoys time with family and friends, music, sports, travel, and the outdoors. He invites people to begin by describing their current problem so they can explore a practical plan together.

How his approaches fit into online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It emphasizes values-based action so someone can make changes that matter to them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at patterns of thinking and behavior and works to create practical changes that reduce distress and improve daily functioning.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. He will discuss different options and tailor methods based on a person's goals, preferences, and life situation. The choice of techniques is collaborative and may shift as progress is made.

Confirm the specific session formats offered before booking, since the profile does not list formats. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, for example by avoiding travel time, allowing shorter check-ins during a lunch break, or reducing the need to be on camera. It also lets people continue care when dealing with life transitions or regional disruptions. Licensed professionals, including therapists, can adapt ACT and CBT work to an online setting so clients can practice skills between sessions and check progress over time.
