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 who are stressed, anxious, depressed, or struggling in relationships. Kirsten also supports people facing grief, trauma and abuse, compassion fatigue, and challenges around self-esteem and life changes.

Kirsten invites conversations that include a person’s faith when that matters to them. She says she integrates her Christian perspective alongside clinical work for clients who wish to keep those values in view. Sessions focus on clear goals and practical next steps rather than abstract ideas.

In the room she listens closely to what someone wants and to the patterns that get in the way. She names when behaviors are keeping a person stuck and helps create small experiments to test different ways of responding. That can include practicing clearer communication, setting boundaries, or reshaping daily routines to reduce overwhelm.

Kirsten describes therapy as collaborative. The client’s knowledge of their life is central and she offers clinical input to help reach agreed goals. She aims to balance direct feedback with respectful conversation so people can try new ways of handling old problems.

She has worked with issues tied to attachment, codependency, control problems, and the emotional fallout of prejudice or discrimination. People who want therapy that acknowledges their Christian faith while also focusing on mental health concerns often choose to work with her.

How sessions work

How therapeutic approaches guide online sessions

Evidence-based techniques focus on specific changes people can make in daily life. One common approach is behavioral work that identifies unhelpful patterns and tests new responses with small, manageable experiments. This helps with anxiety, low mood, and habits that keep relationships stuck.

Another helpful method is skills-focused work for communication and boundary-setting. That approach teaches concrete ways to say no, ask for needs, and reduce people-pleasing. It is practical and can be practiced between sessions to see what works.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist and client decide together which methods fit the client’s goals, needs, and preferences. That collaborative process may shift over time as different issues come up.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, shorten check-ins when needed, or avoid travel time. Therapists in general can adapt pacing and exercises so sessions fit into everyday life and responsibilities.
