Heather Kangur

Heather Kangur is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 18 years of experience supporting people through difficult life moments. She began her career working with adults and children who had intellectual and physical disabilities, and that early work shaped her commitment to practical, person-focused care. Heather speaks English and practices from New York. Heather helps with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, parenting challenges, and trauma. She also assists people managing relationship strain, family problems, and life transitions. Many clients come for help with attention differences, impulsivity, and issues linked to caregiving, adoption, or blended family situations. Her approach is straightforward and centered on the person in front of her. Sessions focus on listening, building coping skills, and addressing patterns that keep people stuck. Heather uses a mix of methods, including client-centered work, cognitive behavioral strategies, emotionally-focused techniques, existential questions about meaning, and mindfulness practices. She has long experience in individual therapy, group work, behavioral case management, and facilitation. Over nearly two decades she has worked with people from many backgrounds and life stages. Heather aims to make therapy practical and relevant to everyday challenges. When available she communicates by routine messaging and offers sessions at times that fit around work and family life. Prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions based on the therapist's availability.

How Heather’s approaches translate to online therapy

Heather draws on client-centered work to create a warm, listening space where a person’s priorities guide each session. That approach helps with building trust and clarifying what matters most, whether someone needs help with parenting, family conflict, or managing day-to-day stress.

She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors. CBT tools can address anxiety, depression, and impulsivity by giving clear steps to practice between sessions. Emotionally-Focused Therapy features in her work when relationships and attachment issues are central, helping people notice patterns in connection and respond differently.

Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work together. Heather will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't helped before, then adapt strategies in collaboration with the client. That means methods may shift over time as needs change.

The therapist's original biography does not list specific online session formats here, so confirm current session options before booking. In general, online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions around work and family life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. Licensed professionals can use these strengths to help people practice skills between meetings and to bring therapy into real-life routines.
