ABOUT ME My goal as a therapist is to help people find healing & joy in their lives so that they can live as they were created to & reach out beyond themselves. I have been a therapist for 7 years and worked with people of all ages (children, teens, families, parents, adults, couples) using a variety of therapy modalities including: cognitive, Christian, art, and play therapies. I tend to use a strength-based approach to therapy, which means I go where my clients need/want to go and I encourage the strengths I see in them while also promoting growth in other areas. I have experience in helping people develop healthier coping skills for stress, anxiety, anger, grief & depression, as well as improve relationships with their children, spouses and extended families. Some of my favorite things to do are to help clients see the good in their lives, then dream of the future and develop practical steps towards achieving those dreams. It is very fulfilling to see people make progress in areas they desire to see change, and to recognize their own strengths!

My name is Rick Gantt. I am a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor - Supervisor in the commonwealth of Kentucky. I have over 20 years of experience working as a mental health counselor and have a very diverse set of experiences through the years with preferences in bipolar and mood issues, grief and mourning, anger issues, couples counseling and past traumas. I also have considerable experience working with substance and dual diagnosis. I prefer an adolescent through adult and even geriatric clientele. I am experienced and do care about those that I work with and enjoy seeing my clients succeed. I am an eclectic therapist which basically means that I use what I see is most effective for the Client.  Much of what we will talk about will be Gestalt therapy which attempts to help you be empowered to learn to make your own decisions and help to find the sources of issues within your past.  CBT and behavioral therapies are always useful in helping to see that by changing these thoughts you can easily change behaviors that follow.  I also use some psychoanalytic to help to see the influence that development has had on current thoughts and emotions.  And finally, Client centered which helps in creating an environment for learning as well helping in owning responsibility and empowerment to progress. If you are ready to get started just give me call at and I will get you on my schedule as soon as is possible for the both of us. If there is no answer it is likely because I am with another client, please leave a complete message with name, number, and reason for the call.

I have been practicing in the field of mental health since past 15 years. My personal experience with counseling was that there was a safe and non judgmental space, where someone was ethically and empathically devoted towards helping me find peace from chaos, find answers from the turmoil, and finally feel connected to my own self as a person. My primary modality in therapy sessions involves integrated approach, where in I incorporate Person Centered therapy modality to establish an empathetic, non-judgmental, genuinely caring and therapeutic environment where a person can feel safe, comfortable and supported to open up about their qualms and concerns. The other intervention modalities involve Cognitive Behavior Therapy, and Dialectical Behavior Therapies which facilitate the discussion and solution focused phase in the therapy session. My ideal client is anyone who is struggling with daily life stressors, trying to manage symptoms of clinical/non-clinical depression, and anxiety symptoms, sleep issues, PTSD symptoms, Grief, Self Esteem and Self Confidence issues, Generational Trauma challenges, adjustment issues, struggling in academics, career and relationships. Parenting issues. I also specialize in women mental health, and in supporting Perinatal/PostPartum phase women. Overall my goal is to provide a safe space of therapy which provides support not just for the severe mental health, lifestyle and daily life issues and concerns, but also acts as a space for self care !

Hello, I am a Licensed Professional Counselor based in Kentucky with over 7 years of experience providing counseling services to individuals navigating life transitions, emotional challenges, and complex health-related concerns. Prior to licensure, I completed two years of clinical internship experience, and I have been supporting individuals through life transitions in various professional and supportive roles for nearly 13 years. I have spent much of my career working with adults who have experienced acquired or traumatic brain injuries, including seven years providing counseling services in this area. This work has shaped my understanding of grief, identity changes, emotional regulation, and rebuilding confidence after significant life events. I also have experience in community mental health, where I’ve worked with children, teens, and adults from diverse backgrounds. I am currently a doctoral student in Counselor Education and Supervision and am completing my dissertation, which focuses on Perinatal Mental Health in people of color and the importance of culturally responsive care. My counseling style is laid-back, warm, and inviting. I aim to create a space where you feel comfortable being open, asking questions, and moving at a pace that feels right for you. Therapy doesn’t have to feel intimidating or overly clinical; I believe it works best when it feels collaborative, supportive, and grounded in real life. I offer therapy through live chat, a structured, real-time, text-based format that is available to both adolescents and adults. Many clients find that writing helps reduce anxiety, supports emotional regulation, and allows space for thoughtful reflection before responding. For teens, live chat can make therapy feel more approachable, and for adults, it can be a helpful option for those who are not comfortable being on camera or who prefer not to use video sessions. Offering this format is part of my commitment to reducing barriers to therapy and making mental health support more accessible. Limited Sunday live chat appointments may be available upon request. Please message to inquire about Sunday availability.” For clients who prefer other formats, video and phone sessions are also available, allowing us to choose the modality that best supports comfort, engagement, and therapeutic progress. Whether you’re feeling overwhelmed, adjusting to changes, or looking for ongoing support, I’m here to meet you where you are and walk alongside you.

As a dedicated therapist, I specialize in supporting individuals navigating complex emotional landscapes. My approach centers on empowering clients through compassionate, culturally responsive care, with deep expertise in addressing depression, anxiety, trauma, and relationship challenges. I am passionate about helping young adults and women explore self-love, communication, and personal growth. My therapeutic work focuses on healing from isolation, shame, and attachment wounds while supporting clients in discovering their life purpose and building resilience. Drawing from a multicultural perspective, I create a supportive environment where clients can explore their unique experiences. My practice integrates evidence-based techniques to help individuals develop healthier coping strategies, improve self-esteem, and transform challenging emotional patterns. I understand that healing is a deeply personal journey, and I'm committed to walking alongside my clients with genuine empathy, respect, and professional guidance.

I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who works with adults navigating trauma, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship stress, identity concerns, and major life transitions. Many of my clients come to therapy feeling overwhelmed, emotionally exhausted, disconnected from themselves, or unsure how to move forward after difficult experiences. My approach is affirming, trauma-informed, and rooted in genuine human connection. I believe therapy should be a space where you feel safe enough to be honest, supported enough to grow, and empowered enough to make meaningful changes in your life. I work collaboratively with clients using evidence-based approaches including CBT, DBT, ACT, motivational interviewing, and trauma-focused interventions, while always adapting therapy to fit the individual—not forcing people into a one-size-fits-all model. I have experience supporting individuals impacted by trauma, addiction, family conflict, systemic stress, burnout, and complex emotional experiences. My work is especially grounded in compassion, dignity, and helping people reconnect with their sense of stability, identity, and purpose. Whether you are carrying longstanding pain or simply trying to navigate a difficult season of life, you do not have to do it alone. Therapy can be a place to slow down, breathe, heal, and begin building the life you want with support along the way.

Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW, KY; LISW, OH) with 5+ years of experience supporting individuals with mental health, substance use, and life transition challenges. I provide compassionate, person-centered therapy, crisis intervention, and care coordination, empowering clients to build resilience, achieve goals, and thrive in their communities.

Originally from Texas, I moved to Kentucky to pursue a Masters in Divinity. After the unexpected loss of my father, I began attending counseling for my own grief and relationships. Through my own healing process and many friendships and relationships, I became aware of the courage and bravery required to recognize and approach the trials in life. I quickly pivoted and relentlessly pursued my passion for counseling. My experiences and relationships with others cultivated my passion for being present with others throughout their own journeys, judgement free and wholeheartedly. As a professional counselor and therapist, I view my role as an opportunity to offer presence and hope to others as they embark on the journey of fearlessly discovering who they are created to be. I enjoy working with a large clientele from preteens, teens, young adults, and adults, ages 12+. My clients and I navigate through concerns related to communication, relationships, mood management, grief, disordered eating, along with many other topics. I have a largely collaborative approach with my clients while finding unique opportunities to challenge them toward their goals. Each session is tailored to my clients’ needs. I married my husband, Davis and together we share a life with our four very large dogs, Copper and Bruce, Tucker, and Otter Lee. Our boys keep us on our toes and we love taking them on weekend adventures. I enjoy an array of activities, including spending time with family and friends, running, leading Bible study, playing with our dogs, mentoring, writing, and reading. To my family, I have a bright-hearted and gentle presence. To my friends, I’m known repeatedly quoted for saying “These are the moments when life happens.” As much as I enjoy adventuring with others by running and exploring, it also brings me great peace to have moments of stillness while journaling and enjoying my coffee.
