About Matthew
Dr. Matthew Reiser is a UT Psychologist with 19 years of experience practicing in Utah. He works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and intimacy concerns, trauma and abuse, substance and behavioral addictions, and a range of life changes. He also supports issues around self-esteem, grief, sleeping and eating problems, parenting and family stress, and ADHD.
He uses straightforward, skills-based methods in sessions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a core part of his approach, along with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and client-centered methods. Sessions tend to focus on noticing unhelpful thoughts and habits, trying different responses, and practicing concrete skills between meetings.
Dr. Reiser brings experience from university counseling centers and private practice. Over the years he has worked with people on career stress, sport psychology concerns, biofeedback, and grief. He also lists additional focus areas such as attachment issues, adoption and foster care concerns, autism and Asperger Syndrome, chronic pain and illness, and dissociation.
He holds a Ph.D. in Counseling Psychology and earlier degrees in psychology and family studies. The credential shown is UT Psychologist 5184406-2501. He has nearly two decades of clinical work that inform how he structures sessions and homework.
In the room he aims for clear, interactive sessions where goals are practical and measurable. Clients can expect to leave with specific strategies to test between appointments, and the therapist will adjust methods based on how those strategies work in real life.
How his therapeutic approaches translate to online work
CBT is practical and skills focused. Online sessions using CBT typically involve identifying unhelpful thoughts, planning behavioral experiments, and assigning short exercises to practice between meetings. This approach often helps with anxiety, depression, sleep and eating concerns, and stress-related problems.Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing internal experiences without fighting them and choosing actions that reflect personal values. Online ACT work can support coping with chronic pain, life changes, grief, and situations that trigger avoidance or rumination.
Client-centered methods prioritize listening and collaboration. In online meetings this looks like the therapist asking clarifying questions, reflecting the client’s experience, and adjusting session pace based on feedback.
Finding the right approach is part of therapy. The therapist will work with each person to decide which combination of CBT, ACT, or client-centered techniques fits their goals and preferences. That choice can change as progress and needs evolve.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a weekday break, reduce travel time, and allow focused check-ins without needing extra setup. Therapists generally adapt exercises and homework for remote meetings so progress continues between sessions.
