About Heather
Heather Kangur brings 18 years of clinical social work experience to her practice in New York.
Background and approach
She is an LCSW who began her career supporting adults and children with intellectual and physical disabilities and has since worked across a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, parenting challenges, depression, grief, relationship and family issues, and ADHD.
Her history includes individual therapy, group facilitation, and behavioral case management, and she has worked with people facing discrimination, domestic violence, traumatic brain injury, and other complex life stressors. Heather draws on several evidence-informed methods such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Client-Centered Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT), Existential and Mindfulness approaches to tailor care to each person’s situation.
She emphasizes the therapeutic relationship as central to progress and offers evening and weekend availability. Sessions are offered through video, phone, live chat, or text messaging, and Heather uses a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.
Prospective clients in New York may find her background useful for navigating transitions, improving coping skills, and addressing long-standing patterns that interfere with wellbeing.
Approaches That Guide Online Work and Practical Benefits
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a respectful, nonjudgmental space where the therapist follows the client's lead and supports personal growth; it can help people explore values, build self-understanding, and set goals at their own pace. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) emphasizes the connection between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and offers structured strategies to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and change unhelpful patterns. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) attends to emotional experience in relationships and can help when attachment, closeness, or communication patterns are causing distress.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Heather collaborates with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, preferences, and goals, and she may draw from more than one orientation as the process unfolds to support practical change and deeper understanding.
Online sessions can be scheduled as video calls, phone conversations, live chat, or text-based messaging, which allows flexibility for people balancing work, caregiving, or other commitments. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity of care across evenings and weekends and to access therapeutic support from home or another convenient location.
