More about Kiernan

  • 15 years' experience
  • Female
  • LCSW

My name is Kiernan Hamilton, and I am a licensed clinical social worker, with the R psychotherapy designation for the state of New York. I have been in this field of work since 2006, starting off working with families with youth that had behaviors which put them at risk for placement outside of the home. I then worked in community mental health dealing with issues such as depression, anxiety, severe mental illness, trauma, and family issues. I also supervised new social workers to develop their own practice. From there, I did program development for our local hospice care, as well as grief counseling and social work roles. Most recently, I have grown as a private practitioner. I work with primarily teens and adults on issues related to relationship and family issues, trauma, grief, depression, anxiety, and stress management.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.

Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

She’s a really good listener and empathetic to my issues.

Reviewed November 2021

I’ve been doing therapy for about a month so far, everybody said that it may take time to find the “right” counselor for me and that I may want to switch until I find one. So far, my time with Kiernan has been excellent. I feel like she can connect with me and answer anything I need. Already I’ve seen some drastic changes in my mental health and in my relationships.

Reviewed November 2021

I think Kiernan is very good at listening and understanding how to approach numerous situations.
