About Matthew

Dr. Matthew Reiser helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, trauma, low self esteem, depression, and challenges like addiction and sleep problems. He also works with issues such as parenting and family concerns, grief, intimacy and eating concerns, career shifts, and attention-related struggles. He is a UT Psychologist (UT Psychologist 5184406-2501) practicing in Utah with 19 years of experience.

His style is warm and interactive. He listens carefully and adapts sessions to each person's needs. Sessions focus on practical steps and clearer thinking so people can make changes that matter in daily life.

Dr. Reiser uses methods drawn from cognitive behavioral approaches, client-centered work, and emotion-focused therapy. He blends these methods to address thoughts, feelings, and relationship patterns rather than pushing a single technique. That mix lets him help with both immediate coping skills and longer-term emotional shifts.

He has worked in several university counseling centers and in independent practice. His background includes work with grief, trauma, sport psychology, biofeedback, and couples concerns among other presenting problems. He brings experience supporting people through life transitions and complex emotional issues.

Outside of clinical work he enjoys sports, music, travel, the outdoors, and time with family and friends. He aims to create a respectful, down-to-earth space where people can explore change and build stronger self esteem.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then take steps that match their values; it is useful for anxiety, depression, and low self esteem. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing new behaviors to ease symptoms and improve daily functioning. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) concentrates on relationship patterns and emotions to help people communicate more clearly and heal attachment wounds.

Finding the best approach is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with each person to pick methods that match their goals, preferences, and what they want to change. That choice can shift over time as needs evolve.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into busy lives by reducing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, and letting people join from wherever they are located in Utah. It can also make regular sessions more consistent during life changes, helping people practice new skills between meetings.
