About Kirsten
Kirsten Dagrosa is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in New York with five years of clinical experience. She works with adults dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, grief, and compassion fatigue. She also focuses on family concerns, trauma and abuse, and issues such as guilt and shame.
Kirsten listens to how faith and personal values shape decisions. She supports people who want therapy that respects their Christian convictions while they work on everyday problems. Sessions aim to clarify what clients want and what is getting in the way of those goals.
In sessions she talks through patterns that keep people stuck, such as codependency, attachment issues, control problems, and communication difficulties. She helps people identify practical steps to test new behaviors and ways of relating. Work often includes coping skills for stress, ways to manage anxiety, and approaches to reduce isolation or overwhelm.
Kirsten also addresses heavy experiences like domestic violence, post-traumatic stress, and grief. She discusses how prejudice, multicultural stress, and workplace strain affect wellbeing. Forgiveness and self-love are topics she brings into conversations when clients want to explore them.
Her style is direct and collaborative. She balances listening with clear suggestions and concrete goals. People leave sessions with focused next steps to try between appointments.
Approaches you may use in online sessions
Evidence-based therapeutic techniques are at the core of her practice. One common approach focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and replacing them with more workable alternatives. This helps with anxiety, shame, and problems that repeat in relationships. Another approach emphasises understanding attachment and relationship patterns. It looks at how early or current relational experiences shape how someone trusts, seeks closeness, or avoids connection. This method is useful for codependency, communication problems, and intimacy concerns. Finding the right approach is part of the work together. She will collaborate with each person to decide which techniques best fit their goals, needs, and preferences. That plan can change as progress is made or new issues appear. Confirm the current session options before booking, as formats are not detailed here. Practical benefits of online work include fitting sessions around work or family obligations and reducing travel time. Online meetings can make it easier to have shorter check-ins, attend from a quieter location, or schedule therapy during a lunch break. Licensed professionals can adapt therapeutic exercises and homework to an online setting so the work continues between sessions.Areas of expertise
