Kirsten Dagrosa

Kirsten Dagrosa is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship struggles, low self-esteem, depression, grief, and work-related strain. She also supports those coping with trauma, compassion fatigue, and life transitions while honoring their Christian faith when that matters to them.

Kirsten draws on five years of clinical experience to help clients name what they want and figure out next steps. Sessions focus on clear goals and practical steps. She listens closely, asks direct questions, and offers straightforward feedback rather than simply agreeing with everything you say.

Many clients come with trouble saying what they need, feeling stuck at work, or wrestling with guilt and shame. Kirsten helps people sort out relationship patterns, attachment concerns, codependency, and communication problems so they can make different choices. She also addresses multicultural concerns, prejudice, and issues tied to domestic violence and post-traumatic stress.

Her approach balances respect for a person's faith with clinical guidance for change. Therapy is framed as teamwork: the client brings expertise about their life, and Kirsten contributes clinical experience and structure. Together they set goals and track progress over time.

Kirsten practices in New York and offers services in English. If you want therapy that takes your Christian beliefs into account while focusing on tangible changes, she can be a partner in that work.

How her approaches guide online care

Evidence-based therapeutic techniques are central to Kirsten's work and focus on practical change. One approach centers on clarifying values and goals, helping people break big problems into small, manageable steps and testing new behaviors between sessions. This helps with work stress, low motivation, and getting unstuck.

Another approach emphasizes understanding relationship and attachment patterns. It looks at how early and present relationships shape expectations and communication, and it teaches different ways of relating to reduce conflict and loneliness. That work often helps with codependency, communication problems, and social anxiety.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Kirsten will review your concerns and preferences with you and try methods that feel useful. She adapts plans as you track progress together so the work matches your goals and pace.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when helpful, and reduce travel time so people can work on goals from home or between obligations.
