About Matthew

Dr. Matthew Reiser is a Utah psychologist who helps people manage stress, anxiety, relationship struggles, trauma, and intimacy-related issues. He also supports those dealing with depression, addictions, grief, body image concerns, sleep and eating problems, and questions around identity and LGBT concerns. He brings 19 years of experience to sessions and meets people with compassion and practical focus.

In the room he uses a direct but empathic approach. He listens first, then works with people to set clear goals. Sessions blend cognitive-behavioral ideas with emotionally focused and client-centered ways of working. That means there is attention to thoughts and behavior, and also to feelings and the quality of relationships.

Dr. Reiser draws on years in university counseling centers and private practice to shape his work. He mentions experience with sport psychology and biofeedback in his background. He offers help for parenting and family concerns by focusing on individuals' needs within those systems.

He explains things in straightforward terms and focuses on small, useful changes people can try between sessions. He aims to tailor therapy to each person rather than using the same plan for everyone.

Outside of clinical work he values family time, music, sports, travel, and the outdoors. His listed credential is UT Psychologist 5184406-2501, and he practices in Utah. If someone wants to explore intimacy or sexual concerns as part of broader relationship work, he includes those topics in his scope of concerns.

How therapeutic approaches shape online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on helping people clarify what matters to them and take small actions toward those values even when difficult feelings are present. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and help with life transitions.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and behaviors interact and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns. It is commonly used for anxiety, stress, sleep and eating concerns, and mood problems.

Finding the right approach is part of therapy. The therapist will work together with each person to pick methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences. That collaborative decision can change over time as progress is made or challenges shift.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, whether that means shorter check-ins during a work break or arranging appointments around family time. The original biography did not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Many people find that remote work keeps momentum between appointments and allows therapy to continue when schedules or travel make in-person visits harder.
