About Kirsten
Kirsten Dagrosa is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in New York with five years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, low self-esteem, depression, grief, trauma and abuse, and issues like social anxiety and phobia.
Kirsten listens to how work and relationships affect daily life. She talks with clients about goals and what matters to them, including living according to Christian values when that is important to the person. Sessions focus on practical steps and clearer thinking so clients can make decisions that fit their lives.
Her approach is straightforward and collaborative. She helps people name what they want, notice patterns that get in the way, and try small changes to test what works. Conversations include skills for coping with strong emotions, improving communication, and rebuilding trust after hurt.
Kirsten also addresses concerns such as attachment issues, codependency, control problems, domestic violence impacts, and feelings of emptiness or isolation. She brings attention to how discrimination, multicultural stress, and prejudice can shape a person’s struggles.
Clients can expect a mix of talking, problem solving, and skill-building. Kirsten frames the work as a team effort where the client’s life experience guides decisions. She integrates attention to values and faith when requested and relevant to the client’s goals.
How evidence-based techniques are used in online sessions
Many evidence-based therapeutic techniques focus on changing unhelpful thoughts and building practical skills. Cognitive-style approaches teach people to notice specific thoughts that increase anxiety or shame and to test whether those thoughts are accurate. This can help with worries about social situations or performance fears.Behavioral methods encourage gradual practice and real-world tests of feared situations. For social anxiety and phobia, this might mean trying short, manageable steps toward speaking up or meeting new people and tracking what happens to reduce fear over time.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options and decide together with the client which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That collaborative process helps shape what happens in each session.
Practical advantages of online work can include fitting sessions into a busy week, cutting commute time, and choosing moments that match daily rhythms. Because session formats were not specified in the biography, confirm current session options before booking. The therapist can explain how sessions will be scheduled and what to expect during a first appointment.
