If the frosting is too soft, the first thing you should do is place the cream cheese frosting in the refrigerator for 10 to 20 minutes to firm it up. Adding more powdered sugar should not be your first option or the frosting might get too sweet. You can also try whipping in more softened butter than chilling to firm.
If you must, add a ΒΌ cup more powdered sugar at a time and stir to thicken.

Totally worth making the strawberry sauce from scratch. It tastes like ice cream! I wanted a little more strawberry flavor and my icing was pretty soft, but it still worked out.
