About Nan
Nan Riekert is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) in Kentucky with 39 years of professional experience. She helps people who are dealing with family conflict, trauma and abuse, grief and loss, parenting challenges, and problems with anger. She communicates plainly and focuses on practical steps people can use day to day.
Nan uses straightforward conversation to identify what is most pressing. She asks clear questions and listens for patterns that cause repeated stress. Together with a client she outlines small, concrete goals and checks progress each session. Sessions are meant to be direct and usable between appointments.
Her background covers long-term clinical work with a broad range of concerns related to family life and personal crises. That experience informs how she balances immediate coping skills with longer-term problem solving. She draws on methods that have evidence behind them to guide interventions and skill building.
In sessions Nan encourages people to name what they want to change and to try small experiments in how they respond to difficulties. She will talk through parenting strategies, ways to process loss, approaches to managing anger, and steps to recover after abuse or trauma. The emphasis is on practical approaches that fit everyday routines.
For someone who prefers a direct, practical style and wants help organizing next steps, Nan offers steady clinical experience and a clear focus on work that produces immediate, usable strategies.
BHow sessions work
How evidence-based techniques are used in online sessions
Nan draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address specific problems. One common approach focuses on teaching practical coping skills and behavioral changes that help manage anger and reduce reactivity. This method uses step-by-step strategies to change responses and practice new behaviors in real life.Another approach involves structured ways to process grief and trauma. This includes breaking down difficult memories or reactions into manageable pieces and working through them at a pace that fits the client. The goal is to reduce the intensity of symptoms and increase the person's ability to function day to day.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Nan will discuss options with each client and decide together which techniques to try based on symptoms, goals, and what feels manageable. That collaborative decision guides the session plan and what is practiced between meetings.
If you are considering online sessions, confirm the session formats offered before booking. Many people find online work helpful because it can fit more easily around work, caregiving, and daily routines. It can also make shorter check-ins or phone-style sessions simpler when bandwidth or a quieter setup is useful. Ask about the specific session options when you schedule so they match your needs.
