About Kurt
LCSW in Oregon with 22 years of clinical experience, Kurt Rieck helps people deal with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, and major life changes. Kurt presents as a direct, steady clinician who focuses on practical steps people can use between sessions.
Kurt works in a collaborative way. He listens to what is most pressing, then outlines clear goals and small, doable tasks. Sessions involve talking through feelings, identifying patterns that keep problems going, and practicing new ways of coping. Kurt uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide those steps.
People come for help after a loss, a traumatic event, or when daily anxiety becomes hard to manage. He also supports those facing career shifts, relationship breakups, or other life transitions. Conversations stay goal-focused and concrete so progress can be seen from one visit to the next.
Kurt aims to make sessions practical and readable. He offers feedback, teaches skills, and assigns brief exercises to try between meetings. He does not rely on jargon; explanations are plain and tied to immediate concerns.
Over two decades of practice inform his clinical judgment. That experience helps him match approaches to a person’s situation and pace. People who prefer clear plans and hands-on strategies tend to find his style useful.

How evidence-based techniques translate to remote care
The therapist uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to structure work. One common approach focuses on identifying and changing patterns of thinking and behavior that maintain anxiety or depression. It involves keeping track of thoughts, testing unhelpful beliefs, and practicing alternative responses in daily life. Another approach emphasizes skills for managing stress and trauma reactions, such as grounding, paced breathing, and stepwise exposure to feared situations when appropriate.Finding the best approach is part of the clinical process. The therapist will review your concerns, try a method, and adjust based on how it fits your goals and preferences. Work is collaborative: plans are set together and updated as progress is reviewed.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. In general, remote work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It also makes it possible to practice skills in the settings where problems occur and bring that experience back into sessions for discussion.
