About Heather

Heather Kangur is a licensed clinical social worker who brings 18 years of experience to her practice in New York. She focuses on helping people who feel overwhelmed by anxiety, stress, depression, grief, or changes in their lives. Parents seeking help with parenting strain, adoption or blended family concerns can also find practical support.

Heather also works with people navigating relationship and family problems and those managing attention differences such as ADHD.

Background and approach

Early in her career she worked with adults and children who had intellectual and physical disabilities. That experience shaped a hands-on, practical approach to care. Over the years she has helped people through trauma, abuse, domestic violence, and adjustment after loss.

She has run individual therapy, group work, and behavioral case management. In sessions Heather aims to build a collaborative relationship where the client's experience guides the work. She uses client-centered methods to listen closely and respond to what matters most to each person.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and try small behavior changes between appointments. She also draws on emotionally-focused ideas to improve communication and connection in close relationships. Mindfulness and existential approaches help people clarify values, cope with uncertainty, and make meaningful choices.

Heather keeps language plain and focuses on practical steps a person can try right away. Heather offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different schedules. Scheduling tends to include evenings and weekends, and sessions are arranged through the site's matching and booking process.

Approaches that guide online sessions

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to what matters most to each person; it helps when someone needs a nonjudgmental space to sort out feelings and make decisions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts and behaviors and teaches simple experiments to test new ways of thinking and acting, which can be useful for anxiety, stress, and ADHD-related challenges.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful, and then try approaches that match those needs. That collaborative process can change over time as goals shift.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which let people fit therapy into busy days. Video sessions allow face-to-face interaction for in-depth conversation. Phone sessions are helpful when bandwidth is limited or when a session needs to be shorter. Live chat and text-based messaging make it easy to check in between meetings or to handle practical coaching and brief updates without scheduling a full call.
