Getting to know Kristen Fragoso

My name is Kristen, and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker based in Southern California, working with clients statewide via telehealth. I hold a Master?s in Social Work from California State University, Northridge. I work with adults and specialize in depression, anxiety, and complex trauma. I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Solution Focused Therapy to help clients navigate day-to-day hardships. My approach varies based on each client?s needs. I most frequently use CBT, Motivational Interviewing, and Solution Focused Therapy, as these help build a shared understanding of their reality and a way forward. My style fits adults facing challenges like depression or anxiety. I help clients build adaptive skills to feel better about themselves and their perspective on life. My communication style is calm, authentic, and personable. I want clients to feel safe and comfortable talking with me about anything. Building a relationship takes time and is the most important task for successful sessions. My career is rooted in foster care. Working at county and state levels, I saw deeper issues that drew me to therapy. I have worked in schools, courts, and community mental health. I enjoy seeing progress and love when clients have "light bulb" moments. Goal setting with clients is collaborative and based on trust and comfort. It?s important to be realistic and flexible because life happens. Goals will ebb and flow, and that is okay!
