Kiernan Hamilton, LCSW

Kiernan Hamilton is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in New York with 15 years of experience. She focuses on practical problems people bring from daily life, including relationship and family concerns, grief, depression, anxiety, stress, and trauma. Kiernan also supports people managing addictions, attention differences, and struggles with self-esteem and intimacy.

She began her work in 2006 with families of youth at risk for placement outside the home. That early work involved hands-on behavior support and coordination with schools and services. Later she spent time in community mental health, addressing depression, severe mental illness, trauma, and family conflict while supervising new social workers.

Kiernan moved into program development for hospice services and provided grief counseling in that role. Those years deepened her experience with end-of-life issues and bereavement support. Afterward she shifted into private practice where she continued to see teens and adults for relationship and family issues, mood concerns, and trauma-related problems.

In sessions she draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people with coping skills, emotion regulation, and rebuilding routines after loss or change. She also works on practical steps for managing work and caregiving demands that affect mental health. Kiernan describes her current practice as focused on live messaging and chat sessions only.

Her background includes supervisory and program development roles alongside direct clinical work. This combination informs how she structures sessions and helps people prioritize achievable goals.
