Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support
Reiss Hurt integrates practical, evidence-informed methods into online therapy to help clients make measurable progress. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and changing the behaviors that reinforce them. It is useful for issues such as anxiety, depression, stress, and many everyday coping challenges. Mindfulness Therapy teaches present-moment awareness and simple attentional practices that can reduce reactivity, support emotional regulation, and improve overall well-being for people managing stress, trauma responses, or chronic worry. Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative, goal-focused style of conversation designed to build a person s own motivation for change - it is particularly helpful for addressing ambivalence around habits, addictions, or life transitions.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Reiss works collaboratively with clients to assess needs, preferences, and goals, and adapts methods so the plan fits each individual. He encourages client input and adjusts strategies as progress unfolds.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging - making it easier to fit support into busy schedules, manage geographic limitations, and access consistent care. Licensed professionals can deliver effective interventions remotely, allowing clients to engage in meaningful work from settings that feel most comfortable and accessible.
