Therapeutic approaches offered online

Dr. Reiser uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people clarify their values and take practical steps toward a more meaningful life, even when difficult thoughts or feelings are present. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is also a core approach - it focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and related concerns. In practice he also applies a client-centered orientation, which emphasizes active listening, empathy, and collaboration so the client's perspective guides the pace and focus of treatment.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Dr. Reiser works collaboratively with clients to determine which strategies best fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and he adjusts methods over time as progress unfolds.
