More about Kiernan

- 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.

About online counseling

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Overall rating:
Kiernan is amazing and really makes me feel listened to.
She’s a really good listener and empathetic to my issues.
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.
I think Kiernan is very good at listening and understanding how to approach numerous situations.
