About Heather
Heather Kangur is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in New York with 18 years of experience. She works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, parenting challenges, depression, relationship and family concerns, and ADHD. She helps clients who are facing grief, low self-esteem, life changes, and difficulties finding purpose.
Her early work began in 1996 supporting adults and children with intellectual and physical disabilities. That groundwork led to long experience across individual therapy, group work, behavioral case management, and facilitation. Over the years she has supported people navigating domestic violence, traumatic brain injury, and various forms of abuse.
Heather uses practical, structured methods that include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) alongside client-centered and emotionally-focused approaches. She also draws on mindfulness and existential perspectives when those fit a person’s concerns. Sessions focus on noticing unhelpful thoughts, testing different responses, and building clearer ways to manage stress and relationships.
She has worked with people from varied backgrounds and cultures and addresses issues like adoption and foster care, blended family challenges, caregiver stress, codependency, and communication problems. Heather also supports those dealing with hoarding, impulsivity, isolation, and intellectual disability-related issues.
The therapist offers evening and weekend contact and checks messages daily. To start, she asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session. Fees vary by location and use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.
How Heather’s approaches translate to online work
Heather uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thinking and try different responses; CBT is practical and often focuses on specific behaviors and thought patterns that contribute to anxiety or low mood. She also draws on Client-Centered Therapy, which emphasizes listening and working at a person’s own pace to clarify goals and preferences. Emotionally-Focused Therapy is used when relationship or attachment patterns are central, helping people name emotions and change how they respond to close others.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Heather will discuss goals, symptoms, and what methods feel useful, and then collaborate on a plan that fits the person’s needs and preferences. The plan can be adjusted as progress and challenges emerge.
