About Matthew
Dr. Matthew Reiser helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, trauma, ADHD, and a wide range of life changes. He sees concerns like grief, parenting stress, eating and sleeping problems, addiction, intimacy issues, and career worries.

Background and approach
He listens carefully and adapts methods to fit each person's needs rather than using a single approach for everyone. Dr. Reiser uses several well-known approaches in his work, drawing mainly from cognitive behavioral ideas, acceptance-based strategies, and client-centered listening.
He also incorporates emotion-focused skills and behavioral tools when they match a person's goals. These methods are explained in simple terms during sessions and applied to everyday problems. He trained in counseling psychology and completed a Ph.D. in Counseling Psychology.
His background includes many years working in university counseling centers and several years in independent practice. That mix of settings has shaped a practical, down-to-earth way of helping people find clearer strategies and better routines. Outside of work he enjoys sports, music, travel, and time with family and friends.
People who choose him typically want a thoughtful clinician who combines active skill-building with steady support and respect. Dr. Reiser holds the credential UT Psychologist 5184406-2501 and practices in Utah.
Sessions are offered in English and provided in formats that suit busy schedules.
Approaches that translate well to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It emphasizes identifying personal values and taking action that matches those values, which can help with anxiety, depression, and life transitions.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting patterns of thinking and behavior that keep problems in place. It uses practical exercises and homework to build new habits for mood, sleep, and focus challenges such as ADHD or anxiety.
Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening, empathy, and working at a pace the person finds comfortable. This approach supports people who want a steady, respectful space to sort out feelings and decisions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what methods make sense, and then adjust the plan as needs change. That collaborative process helps tailor strategies to each person's life.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make it easier to fit therapy into a busy routine. Video calls let you work face-to-face from wherever you are, phone sessions can be done with lower bandwidth, and chat or messaging work well for short check-ins or when typing helps organize thoughts. These options provide flexibility so people can choose what works best for their schedule and communication style.
