Heather Ranson , LCSW

Heather Ranson is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing from Connecticut with two decades of experience supporting individuals and families through life’s challenges. She emphasizes the importance of building a strong therapeutic rapport as the foundation for effective work, and once that relationship is established she tailors interventions to each person’s needs. Her approach draws from several evidence-informed modalities, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, mindfulness-based techniques, and general psychotherapy. LCSW stands for Licensed Clinical Social Worker, a professional credential for clinicians trained to provide mental health services.

Alongside her clinical practice, Heather works full time as a school social worker in an urban middle school setting, bringing practical experience with young people and families. She is also a mother of four, with children ranging in age from 9 to 24, and describes herself as friendly, attentive, caring, sensitive, and energetic. Heather provides support for a wide range of concerns such as stress and anxiety, trauma and abuse, anger, depression, ADHD, relationship and family difficulties, grief, parenting challenges, self-esteem, mood disorders, and coping with life changes.

She views prioritizing mental health as an investment in well-being and an active step on the path toward healing. Heather combines professional training and real-world experience to help people find practical, meaningful ways to move forward.
