Heather Kangur, LCSW

Heather Kangur is a licensed clinical social worker with 18 years of experience offering steady, practical support for people facing hard times. She often helps when stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, or parenting strains make day-to-day life feel overwhelming. Heather’s voice is straightforward and calm, aimed at making conversations clear and useful from the first session.

Heather began her career in 1996 working with adults and children who had intellectual and physical disabilities. That work shaped her focus on practical problem-solving and on meeting people where they are. Over nearly two decades she has worked in individual therapy, group work, behavioral case management, and facilitation.

Her approach emphasizes listening and building a strong working relationship. She blends Client-Centered Therapy with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Emotionally-Focused Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thought patterns, rebuild emotional connections, and practice new ways of coping. Mindfulness and existential ideas also appear in sessions when clients want to explore meaning and presence.

Heather has experience with a wide range of concerns, including parenting challenges, family dynamics, adoption and foster care issues, caregiver stress, codependency, hoarding, and impulsivity. She also supports people facing life changes, isolation, and questions about life purpose. She works in English and practices in New York.

Sessions are arranged by scheduling through the therapist service and follow the platform’s matching and booking flow. People who choose to work with Heather can expect a collaborative style focused on clear steps and practical tools.

How Heather’s approaches translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building a trusting relationship. In practice this means the therapist reflects what clients say, follows their lead, and helps them notice options. It is useful for people who want to feel heard and to set their own goals.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets thoughts and everyday habits that keep problems going. Sessions often include practicing new ways of thinking, testing ideas in real life, and building small behavior changes to reduce anxiety or depression.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) looks at patterns in close relationships and how emotions shape interactions. It can help people identify unmet needs and practice different responses when relationships are strained.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Heather will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That choice can shift over time as new problems or priorities arise.

Confirm current session options before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, for example by avoiding travel time or allowing shorter check-ins during a break. It can also let people use phone-only conversations when video isn’t practical. Those practical benefits often help people stay consistent with their work.
