Kirsten Dagrosa , LCSW

Kirsten Dagrosa is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in New York who supports people navigating stress, relationships, and questions of self-worth while honoring their faith commitments. With five years of clinical experience, she brings practical therapeutic skills together with a sincere Christian perspective to help clients clarify their wants, needs, and goals.

She works collaboratively with each person, listening closely to their experiences without judgment while also offering guidance that encourages growth rather than enabling old patterns. Kirsten emphasizes a team approach - the client contributes expertise about their own life and values, and she contributes clinical knowledge and structure to move toward meaningful change.

People who want to integrate their Christian convictions into therapy will find that Kirsten is earnest about her faith and thoughtful about how spiritual values can coexist with therapeutic work. She aims to make progress attainable by setting clear goals, holding clients accountable with compassion, and tailoring interventions to individual circumstances. Kirsten welcomes conversations about career challenges, grief, trauma, family dynamics, and issues like codependency or isolation, and she seeks to help each person build practical skills and a stronger sense of purpose.

Evidence-Based Approaches and Online Care

Kirsten uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change and healing. Cognitive-behavioral strategies help people identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns so they can manage anxiety, depression, and stress more effectively. Trauma-informed approaches attend to the impact of past harm on present functioning, offering skills to reduce reactivity and rebuild safety and control after traumatic experiences. Attachment-focused work explores patterns in relationships and communication, helping clients address codependency, intimacy issues, and difficulties with trust.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Kirsten collaborates with each person to determine which techniques best match their needs, goals, and values, and she adjusts the plan as progress is made so care remains personalized and relevant.

Online therapy with Kirsten is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to attend regular sessions, maintain momentum between appointments, and access support from home or work while working toward meaningful change.
