About Heather
Heather Kangur is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in New York with 18 years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, parenting challenges, depression, grief, relationship and family problems, self-esteem concerns, and ADHD.
Her clinical path began in 1996 supporting adults and children with intellectual and physical disabilities. That early work shaped a practice focused on practical help for everyday problems. Over nearly two decades she has provided individual therapy, group work, behavioral case management, and facilitation.
Heather uses several approaches in sessions. She draws on client-centered methods to keep conversations focused on each person’s priorities. She also uses cognitive behavioral tools to identify patterns of thinking and behavior that contribute to distress.
She has experience addressing parenting stress, adoption and foster care concerns, blended family issues, caregiver strain, and communication problems. Heather has also worked with people dealing with divorce, codependency, isolation, hoarding, impulsivity, and intellectual disability related challenges.
Sessions look at immediate coping skills and longer-term patterns. Heather helps people set practical goals and try small changes between meetings. She pays attention to how work, family, money, and health pressures affect daily life.
Her practice is based in New York and services are provided in English. Prospective clients are encouraged to confirm current session options and scheduling details before booking.
BHow sessions work
Therapeutic approaches and working online
Client-centered therapy focuses on the person's own goals and priorities. It involves listening closely, reflecting what matters to the client, and letting them guide the pace and topics of sessions. This approach is useful when someone needs practical support and space to make decisions.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. Sessions teach practical skills for changing unhelpful thought patterns and testing small behavioral changes. CBT is commonly used for anxiety, depression, and stress-related problems.
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people notice and name emotional responses and how they shape relationships. It can be helpful for addressing family and relationship patterns that cause repeated conflict or disconnection.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to choose methods that match the person's goals, needs, and preferences. That decision can change as progress is made and goals evolve.
Session formats are not specified here, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can help fit therapy into a busy schedule by reducing travel time and allowing appointments outside typical office hours. Some formats also make it easier to do a shorter check-in, manage bandwidth limits, or avoid being on camera when needed. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises and homework to work well in remote sessions.
