About Heather
Heather Goodman-D'Anna is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) in Louisiana with 11 years of experience. She focuses on practical support for stress, anxiety, relationships, and parenting. She also helps people facing depression, anger, addiction, and challenges with self-esteem and confidence.
Heather aims to make sessions straightforward and down-to-earth. She creates a calm space where people can talk through what’s on their mind. Conversations are not judgmental; they are focused on understanding what is happening right now and what could help next.
Background and approach
Her approach blends hands-on techniques with listening. She uses Client-Centered Therapy to follow the person’s pace and priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people notice patterns in thoughts and behavior and try small experiments to change them.
Mindfulness methods are used to teach simple ways to handle stress and strong emotions. Motivational Interviewing supports people who want to change habits related to addiction or health. Solution-Focused Therapy helps set clear, reachable goals and track small wins.
Heather draws on her years of practice to tailor the work to each person. She pays attention to factors like family history, identity, and cultural background when they matter. The focus is on practical steps people can apply between sessions to feel steadier and more capable.

Approaches that translate to online care
Heather uses Client-Centered Therapy to follow each person's pace and priorities, offering a listening stance that helps individuals feel heard and understood. This approach is useful for dealing with relationship concerns, identity questions, and building confidence. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people identify unhelpful thought and behavior patterns and try small changes to see what works. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, anger, and mood management.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Heather will talk through options and adjust methods based on a person's goals, comfort level, and day-to-day needs. That collaborative process helps set realistic goals and pick tools that fit the client's life.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video can feel most like an in-person visit, phone calls can fit into a work break or lower bandwidth situations, and messaging supports brief check-ins or ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to keep momentum and use therapeutic tools when life gets busy.
