About Reiss
Reiss Hurt is an AASW social worker who uses practical, down-to-earth methods to help people make real changes. He focuses on clear steps you can try between sessions and listens for what matters most to you. Reiss has four years' experience supporting people with stress, anxiety and depression.
He also helps with trauma and abuse, addiction concerns, grief and issues with intimacy. Career stress, self‑esteem and parenting challenges are other common topics he addresses.
How Reiss works
In sessions he draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and mindfulness to spot unhelpful thoughts and build coping skills. Motivational Interviewing helps when someone feels stuck or unsure about change. He also uses solution‑focused techniques to set small, manageable goals and track progress.
Reiss aims for short, practical conversations that fit into busy lives. He works alongside each person, recognising their strengths and decisions. He encourages small experiments and checks what is or isn't working in the real world.
People meet him for steady, respectful support rather than quick fixes. He helps create a plan, adapt it as needed, and celebrate progress. If you want straightforward tools and a collaborative approach, Reiss offers that style of care.

Online support options
Approaches that work online and in your life
Reiss commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy in online sessions. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new ways of thinking and behaving to reduce anxiety, depression and stress. Mindfulness teaches simple attention and breathing practices to help with emotional regulation, grounding after trauma and coping with ongoing pressure.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Reiss will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and then suggest methods to try. He adapts techniques over time based on what helps the person make steady progress and feel more in control.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text‑based messaging. Video sessions suit deeper conversations and visual connection, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is low, live chat works for quick check‑ins and text messaging supports shorter, ongoing reflection. These options help people fit therapy around work, family and changing schedules.
