Background and approach

Wisser blends evidence-based tools with plain conversation. He helps people notice patterns, try small changes, and build useful habits for day-to-day life. In sessions he applies Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which focuses on values and taking action even when feelings are hard.

He also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors through clear experiments and skill practice. Over his career he has helped people clarify goals like better communication, handling impulsivity, and finding direction at work or in life. He frames progress as steady steps rather than dramatic shifts.

The work aims to leave people with concrete tools they can use outside the therapy hour. Dr. Wisser keeps the tone direct and supportive.

He invites honest conversation about what’s working and what needs to change. Together with each person he builds a plan that fits their priorities and everyday life.

Therapeutic Approaches for Online Support

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people connect with what matters most to them and take action even when difficult thoughts or feelings are present. It is useful for dealing with anxiety, major life changes, and challenges that get in the way of daily values.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with small experiments. It teaches practical skills for reducing anxiety, managing impulsive reactions, and improving mood through step-by-step practice.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences, and together they will choose or blend methods that fit. This is a collaborative process that can adjust as progress is made.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These formats make it easier to fit sessions around parenting and work obligations, and to follow through with tasks between sessions. They also allow people to use therapy from home or another convenient place while keeping the focus on practical tools and steady progress.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

Less about arguing with difficult thoughts, more about loosening their grip and acting on what matters to you anyway. Values and committed action carry the work, which suits conversation at a distance.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.
