Background and approach
He commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to shape sessions. That means learning to notice unhelpful thoughts, practice new behaviors, and move toward what matters most. These methods are used for anxiety, impulsivity, ADHD-related struggles, anger, and low self-esteem.
Dr. Wisser also supports people looking for coaching around life purpose, communication problems, and workplace issues. Conversations often include straightforward tools to improve impulse control and to repair or strengthen communication patterns.
Appointments are focused and goal-oriented. The therapist helps each person set small, realistic steps and checks progress along the way. The tone is respectful and nonjudgmental, aimed at helping people take manageable steps toward a fuller life.
Using ACT and CBT in Online Therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It emphasizes choosing actions that fit personal values, which can help with anxiety, life purpose questions, and motivation. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns. CBT is often used for anxiety, impulsivity, anger, and improving self-esteem.Finding the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and will suggest ACT, CBT, or a blend that matches those needs. Together they’ll try methods and adjust the plan based on what helps most.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video allows face-to-face conversation for teaching skills and practicing interactions. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins. Live chat and text messaging offer flexible, ongoing support between sessions and can fit into a busy day. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, family, and daily life while staying focused on practical progress.
