Kiernan began her career working with families of youth whose behaviors put them at risk for placement outside the home, then moved into community mental health where she addressed depression, anxiety, severe mental illness, trauma, and family concerns. Part of her role there included supervising new social workers to support their professional development and clinical skills. Later she contributed to program development for local hospice services and provided grief counseling and social work supports within that setting.

In private practice, Kiernan works primarily with teens and adults on issues related to relationships and family dynamics, trauma, grief, depression, anxiety, and stress management. Her background spans a wide range of presenting concerns, and she combines that experience with a practical, client-centered approach. Kiernan conducts live messaging and chat sessions exclusively as her mode of delivering therapeutic support.
