How Reiss uses CBT and mindfulness online
Reiss commonly uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy in online work. CBT helps identify unhelpful thought patterns and tests new behaviours to reduce anxiety or depressive symptoms. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices that can lower reactivity and improve focus in day-to-day life.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. Reiss will discuss your goals and preferences, then try methods that suit your situation. He treats this as a collaborative effort and checks in about what is working and what needs to change.
The practical benefit of online sessions is fitting therapy into an ordinary schedule. Confirm the specific session formats available before booking, as options are not listed here. Online sessions can make it easier to keep appointments around work, study and commuting, and they often allow shorter check-ins when time is limited.
