About Nan

Nan Riekert is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) practicing in Kentucky with 39 years of experience. She helps people who are facing family conflict, parenting challenges, trauma and abuse, grief, and anger concerns. Nan aims to create a calm, nonjudgmental space where clients can say what they really feel and think.

Her approach is straightforward and practical. She listens first to understand each person’s situation. Then she works with them to set clear goals and steps they can try between sessions.

Background and approach

Sessions focus on real-life problems and useful strategies that can be put into practice right away. Nan builds a respectful, steady relationship that lets people talk through painful memories and strong emotions. She offers guidance for managing anger and for handling the strain that comes with parenting and family tensions.

Grief work includes helping people name losses and find ways to carry on day to day. Clients can expect a calm presence and direct feedback when needed. Nan helps people sort through options, practice new ways of responding, and track progress over time.

She emphasizes small, practical changes that add up. If someone is ready to take steps toward feeling better, she invites them to begin the process together. The first sessions are used to outline priorities and choose approaches that fit each person’s life and goals.

Evidence-based methods and flexible online care

Nan uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change and emotional healing. One common approach she uses centers on talking through difficult memories and feelings to reduce their immediate hold and to help people build new responses to stressful situations. This helps with trauma, abuse, and grief work by making intense emotions easier to name and manage.

Another commonly used method emphasizes skills and behavior changes. It teaches concrete strategies for managing anger, improving communication within families, and handling parenting challenges. Sessions include role practice and step-by-step plans clients can try between sessions to see what works for them.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist explores each person’s goals, preferences, and daily life before recommending a path forward. Together they review progress and adjust methods as needed to fit changing needs.

Online therapy offers practical benefits for people with busy schedules. Video calls let the therapist and client meet face to face when that is helpful. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a camera isn’t wanted. Live chat and text-based messaging work well for short check-ins, quick skill reminders, or when someone prefers writing to speaking. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, school, and family life.
