Nan Riekert

Nan Riekert is a licensed clinical social worker who brings 39 years of experience to her practice in Kentucky. She helps people who are dealing with family conflict, trauma or abuse, grief and loss, parenting challenges, and anger. Her approach is straightforward and calm. She aims to make it easier to talk about hard things and to take the next step toward change.

She focuses on creating an open, nonjudgmental space where clients can speak honestly about their feelings. Sessions are geared toward clear, practical steps people can use between meetings. Discussions often cover ways to manage strong emotions, improve family interactions, and cope with loss.

Nan listens carefully to each person's story before suggesting tools that fit their life. She works collaboratively, helping clients set goals and try small changes that add up over time. Progress is measured in everyday improvements rather than quick fixes.

Her style is direct but warm, and she encourages people to move at their own pace. For someone feeling stuck by anger or family strain, she offers steady support and simple strategies to try. If a person is ready to begin, she guides them through the first steps toward better emotional balance.

To start, clients complete a brief matching questionnaire and schedule sessions based on availability. Nan welcomes conversations about goals and priorities so therapy can be shaped around what matters most to each person.

Practical approaches for strong emotions and family strain

Nan uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on real-world skills. One common approach teaches ways to recognize and respond to intense feelings so they cause less disruption. This helps people manage anger and reduce moments they later regret. Another approach emphasizes coping strategies for trauma and grief, offering step-by-step ways to tolerate difficult memories and to rebuild routines that feel manageable.

Finding the right approach is part of therapy. The therapist works together with each person to see what fits their needs, goals, and daily life. That collaborative process includes trying methods, checking how they feel, and shifting strategies when something is not helping.

Practical benefits of online therapy include easier scheduling and fitting sessions into busy days. Online work can make it simpler to keep regular appointments and to continue care during life changes. Please confirm current session options before booking, since session formats are arranged according to the therapist's practice and availability.
