About Matthew
Dr. Matthew Reiser helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, trauma, and issues with self-esteem.
Background and approach
He also supports those dealing with addiction, grief, intimacy concerns, sleep or eating problems, parenting stress, and career changes. He works with people who have ADHD, bipolar symptoms, or who are coping with life transitions and complex attachment or abandonment issues.
He brings 19 years of clinical experience as a Utah psychologist. His style is warm and interactive.
He listens closely and works with each person to set clear, achievable goals. Sessions are practical and focused on what helps day to day.
Dr. Reiser uses several evidence-informed approaches, choosing what fits the person and the problem.
He blends Gottman Method work for relationship patterns with cognitive behavioral techniques for thinking and behavior. He also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and client-centered approaches to help people notice values and build motivation.
He has worked in college counseling centers and in independent practice, giving him experience with common life stressors and transitions. That experience informs how he structures sessions and sets homework between meetings.
He aims to make therapy useful from the first few visits. Outside of work he enjoys time with family, sports, music, travel, and being outdoors.
He asks straightforward questions, offers clear techniques, and revisits progress regularly so people know how therapy is helping.
How therapy approaches translate to online care
Gottman Method work focuses on patterns between people. Online sessions can use Gottman ideas to identify interaction habits, improve communication, and practice new ways of relating during and between meetings. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice thoughts and choose actions aligned with their values; online ACT sessions guide mindfulness exercises and practical values-driven steps that can be practiced between appointments.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will listen to your goals, try methods that fit your needs, and adjust based on what helps. This collaborative process helps determine whether Gottman-informed tools, ACT techniques, or other strategies are best for you.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation and role practice, phone sessions work when bandwidth is limited, and messaging or live chat can support brief check-ins or skill practice. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family, and life commitments while keeping regular contact with a licensed professional.
