Kirsten Dagrosa , LCSW

Kirsten Dagrosa is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in New York who brings five years of clinical experience to her work. She focuses on helping people who are struggling at work or in their relationships, who feel unsure of themselves or their goals, or who find it hard to live out personal convictions while managing everyday challenges. She welcomes clients who want therapy that respects and aligns with their Christian faith, offering support that honors those beliefs.

Kirsten combines clinical training with a sincere Christian perspective to help clients clarify their wants, needs, and feelings. She takes a direct but compassionate stance in sessions - listening attentively without judgment while also encouraging change and growth. Her approach treats therapy as a collaborative process in which the client brings lived experience and Kirsten contributes clinical expertise.

Clients can expect practical, goal-oriented work aimed at translating personal values into real change. Kirsten emphasizes teamwork, clear goals, and honest feedback to help individuals move toward the outcomes that matter most to them.

Evidence-Based Approaches for Faith-Informed Online Care

Kirsten uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on identifying and changing unhelpful thought and behavior patterns to reduce symptoms of stress, anxiety, and low mood. These practical strategies help clients set clear goals and build skills for everyday challenges.

She also employs trauma-informed methods to help clients process past hurt and regain a sense of safety and agency. These approaches are tailored to work with experiences of abuse, grief, and post-traumatic stress while respecting each person’s pace and readiness.

Attachment-focused work is another emphasis, supporting people who struggle with relationship patterns, codependency, or communication difficulties. This work helps clients understand relational histories and develop healthier ways of connecting.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Kirsten works with each person to explore goals, preferences, and needs, adjusting techniques over time to find the best fit. Sessions can take place through video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for busy schedules, varied comfort levels, and geographic constraints. Online therapy can make it easier to access consistent support while balancing work, family, and other commitments.
