About Kurt
Kurt Rieck is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Oregon with 22 years of clinical experience. He works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, and major life changes. Kurt writes plainly and focuses on practical help for day-to-day challenges.
He uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques and aims to keep sessions direct and useful. Sessions are collaborative. Kurt listens to what is happening now and helps identify small steps that can reduce distress and restore routine functioning.
In a typical meeting he talks through recent problems, clarifies what matters most to the client, and introduces straightforward strategies to manage symptoms. He encourages practice between sessions so the work carries into everyday life. Progress is reviewed regularly and plans are adjusted as needed.
Kurt draws on his long experience to recognize common patterns people face when grief, trauma, or anxiety disrupts work and family life. He pays attention to practical constraints like time, energy, and finances when suggesting options. People come away with clearer priorities and concrete tools to handle the next week or month.
If someone wants to start, Kurt asks them to complete a brief matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. The subscription model used for sessions can be canceled at any time, and cost varies by location.
BHow sessions work
How Kurt Uses Evidence-Based Techniques Online
Two evidence-based techniques Kurt commonly uses are cognitive-behavioral approaches and trauma-informed strategies. Cognitive-behavioral approaches focus on the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teach practical skills to reduce anxiety and depression. Trauma-informed strategies focus on pacing, safety in the session, and building coping skills to manage symptoms related to past hurt.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Kurt treats therapy as a collaborative process and will review which methods fit a client's goals and day-to-day constraints. He checks in about what is and isn't helping and adjusts the plan together with the client.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life because they remove travel time and can be scheduled around work or family obligations. They also allow for shorter check-ins when energy or time is limited, or for video meetings when seeing facial cues is helpful. Licensed professionals often use these practical advantages to keep therapy consistent with everyday responsibilities.
