About Reiss

Reiss Hurt is an AASW social worker who focuses on practical, goal‑oriented therapy. He works with issues like stress, anxiety, depression, self‑esteem and motivation. Reiss also supports people navigating career decisions, relationship and intimacy concerns, grief, parenting strain and challenges linked to ADHD. He lists Men's wellbeing among his interests and aims to make sessions straightforward and usable.

Reiss uses strategies drawn from cognitive behavioural work and mindfulness to help people notice unhelpful thinking and develop different habits. He also draws on motivational interviewing and solution‑focused techniques when people want clearer next steps or help rebuilding energy for change. Sessions tend to be collaborative and action oriented, with small, practical tasks between meetings.

He has four years' experience working with diverse backgrounds and says he sees clients as the expert in their own story. That means sessions start by listening and identifying strengths the person already has. From there he helps set clear, achievable goals and tracks progress together.

Reiss practises in Australia and holds the AASW credential, which is stated here as provided. Sessions and costs vary by location and use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. Sessions are conducted in English and international clients are not currently accepted.

To begin, users complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to the therapist's availability. Reiss aims to create a calm, practical space where people can take small steps toward a more manageable life.

How therapeutic approaches shape online work

Reiss frequently uses cognitive behavioural techniques to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviours. CBT is useful for anxiety, low mood and stress because it breaks problems into small, testable steps.

He also uses mindfulness approaches to build awareness of thoughts, bodily tension and emotional patterns. Mindfulness can help reduce reactivity and improve focus during busy or stressful periods.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Reiss will discuss goals, preferences and what has or hasn’t helped before, then collaboratively pick methods to try. That plan can change as progress is made and new priorities appear.

Session formats are not detailed in the original profile, so please confirm current options before booking. Many people find online work helpful because it can fit around work hours, reduce travel time and allow shorter check‑in sessions when needed. Reiss aims to make online sessions practical, with clear tasks and follow‑up between meetings to keep momentum.
