About Kiernan

Kiernan Hamilton is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) based in New York who offers therapeutic support for people navigating stress, anxiety, relationship challenges, grief, self-esteem concerns, depression, addiction, LGBT issues, family conflict, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related struggles, eating concerns, parenting, anger, career shifts, bipolar disorder, coping with life changes, compassion fatigue, and ADHD.

Background and approach

With 15 years of experience, she draws on a background that spans community mental health, program development in hospice care, grief counseling, and supervision of new social workers.

Her early work focused on supporting families whose youth faced behaviors that put them at risk of out-of-home placement, and she later worked broadly with depression, anxiety, severe mental illness, trauma, and family systems. Over time she moved into developing programs for hospice services and providing grief counseling, and now practices privately.

Kiernan currently provides live messaging and chat sessions, tailoring her support to help clients manage symptoms, process loss, resolve relational and family concerns, and build coping skills for life transitions.

Evidence-Based Approaches and Accessible Online Care



Kiernan draws on well-established, evidence-based techniques to help clients manage symptoms and navigate life changes. One common approach she uses is cognitive behavioral work, which helps people identify unhelpful thought patterns and develop practical skills to reduce anxiety, depression, and stress. Another frequently used method focuses on grief-informed support and bereavement work, helping people process loss, find meaning, and develop adaptive coping strategies after major life changes.

Finding the right approach is collaborative; the therapist and client explore goals, preferences, and the nature of the concerns together to determine which techniques fit best. Treatment is adjusted over time based on progress and changing needs so that interventions remain relevant and effective for the individual.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, making it easier to access consistent care from home or work. These formats support ongoing engagement, allow for timely skill coaching between sessions, and can accommodate busy schedules or mobility limits while maintaining the involvement of licensed professionals and therapists in the therapeutic process.
