About Heather
Heather Kangur is a licensed clinical social worker with 18 years of experience. She practices from New York and focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, parenting concerns, and life transitions. Her career began working with adults and children who had intellectual and physical disabilities.
That early work shaped a hands-on, practical approach to supporting everyday challenges. Over the years she has supported people dealing with grief, relationship and family problems, caregiver stress, and complex trauma.
Background and approach
Sessions tend to be straightforward and person-centered. Heather listens first, then helps clarify what the client wants to change. She brings tools from cognitive behavioral and mindfulness approaches to reduce overwhelming thoughts and build steady routines.
When relationships are the focus she uses emotionally-focused ideas to improve communication and connection. She also draws on existential ideas to help people find meaning when life feels empty or uncertain. These approaches are woven into treatment in clear, step-by-step ways.
Heather offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. She works with people on adoption and foster care issues, blended family concerns, hoarding, ADHD, and other focused areas. Her practice aims to make therapy practical and reachable for busy lives.
How Heather brings therapy online with practical approaches
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person's goals and lived experience. The therapist listens closely and follows the client's lead, helping people gain clarity and feel heard. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps identify unhelpful thoughts and replace them with actions that reduce anxiety and improve mood. Emotionally-Focused Therapy concentrates on emotions and patterns in close relationships to improve communication and connection.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Heather collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit their needs and goals. The approach can change over time as progress is made or priorities shift, and decisions are made together rather than imposed.
Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video sessions allow face-to-face interaction for deeper conversation. Phone sessions can be easier when lower bandwidth or not being on camera matters. Live chat or text messaging can work for quick check-ins, shorter sessions, or fitting therapy into a busy day. These options help people access care around work, caregiving, or other commitments.
