Online support
How therapy approaches translate to online care
Dr. Reiser uses the Gottman Method to guide conversations about communication and relationship patterns; this approach helps people spot interaction habits and practice different ways of relating. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is also part of his work and focuses on clarifying personal values and taking meaningful action even when emotions are difficult. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) tools are used to identify unhelpful thinking and test new behaviors that ease symptoms.Choosing the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Together they pick techniques and adjust them as progress is made, so sessions stay focused and practical.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video lets people work face-to-face and practice communication skills in real time. Phone calls can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins. Live chat or text messaging can support ongoing coaching between sessions or suit people who prefer writing. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to keep working on goals from wherever someone is located.
