Therapeutic approaches and online care
Dr. Reiser uses cognitive behavioral therapy to break down unhelpful thought patterns and build practical coping skills for anxiety, depression, and stress. CBT focuses on small, concrete changes in thinking and behavior that can reduce symptoms over time.He also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which helps people accept difficult feelings while clarifying personal values and taking meaningful action. ACT can be useful when someone wants to move forward despite ongoing worries or painful memories.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences, and may combine techniques from different models as needed.
