About Nan
Nan Riekert is a licensed clinical social worker with 39 years of experience based in Kentucky. She helps people who are facing family conflict, coping with trauma or abuse, grieving losses, managing parenting stress, or dealing with anger. Nan aims to make the first steps toward change feel manageable and approachable.
She keeps sessions direct and down-to-earth. Conversations focus on what is happening now and on small, practical changes that can ease daily strain.
Background and approach
Nan creates space for people to speak frankly about strong emotions without fear of judgment. Clients can expect a calm, steady presence in sessions. She listens for patterns that increase stress and works with people to try different ways of responding.
Practical strategies and steady support are offered rather than abstract theory. Over nearly four decades she has helped many people find clearer ways to handle conflict, loss, and intense feelings. Her goal is to help people build skills they can use between sessions.
She emphasizes realistic steps that fit each person's life and responsibilities. Nan invites anyone who is ready to begin to take a small step forward. She welcomes questions about how therapy might fit into a busy schedule and what a first few sessions typically cover.
What Nan works with
Everything Nan lists, in the therapist's own terms. Anger is the reason this directory exists; the rest tells you what usually sits alongside it in Nan's practice.
Evidence-based approaches and online care that fit your life
Nan uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on clear skills and real-life changes. One approach emphasizes recognizing patterns of thought and behavior that keep problems going and then practicing new responses; this helps with anger, repeated conflict, and stress. Another approach centers on coping with grief and trauma through steady support and step-by-step strategies to manage intense feelings and daily tasks.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to your goals and everyday constraints, then suggest techniques to try. Together you decide what feels most useful and adjust as you go, with regular check-ins about progress and next steps.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls allow for face-to-face conversation when a longer session is needed. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is low or a shorter check-in is preferred. Live chat and text-based messaging make it easier to fit brief updates or quick coping ideas into a busy day. These formats let people access a licensed professional from different locations and schedules without needing to travel.
