About Heather
Heather Goodman-D'Anna is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Louisiana with 11 years of experience. She helps people deal with stress and anxiety, relationship struggles, parenting concerns, low self-esteem, and confidence issues. Heather focuses on practical ways to manage day-to-day pressures and to make small changes that add up.
She uses straightforward conversation to help clients name what feels off and figure out next steps. Sessions commonly include looking at thought patterns, practicing calmer responses to stress, and setting small goals for change. Heather draws on Client-Centered principles to listen closely and on Cognitive Behavioral techniques to shift unhelpful thinking.
Mindfulness strategies are used to build awareness of feelings and bring attention back to the present when anxiety or overwhelm takes over. Motivational Interviewing helps people who feel stuck find their own reasons to change. Solution-Focused methods are used to identify strengths and workable steps toward specific problems.
Heather has worked with people facing mood disorders, addiction concerns, grief, trauma and abuse, ADHD, and a range of intimacy-related and identity issues. She also addresses attachment difficulties, communication problems, and multicultural concerns. Her experience includes working with clients around gender dysphoria and LGBT-related concerns.
To begin, she asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. Cost varies with location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time. Confirm the current session options before booking so you know what format will be used.
How her approaches translate to online work
Heather often uses Client-Centered Therapy online, which means the therapist focuses on understanding the person's perspective and responding without judgment. This approach helps when someone needs a steady listener while sorting out identity, relationships, or parenting concerns.She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) in sessions to identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. CBT is useful for tackling anxiety, depression, and stress by turning vague worries into concrete actions. Mindfulness Therapy is used alongside these approaches to build attention skills and reduce reactivity to difficult emotions.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Heather will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals, preferences, and the problems they bring. That means trying things, checking what helps, and adjusting over time.
Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Many people find online sessions fit into busy schedules better because they avoid travel, can shorten check-ins on hectic days, or make it easier to schedule around class or work. A first step is completing the matching questionnaire and arranging an initial appointment to discuss which session format will work best.
