Heather Goodman-D'Anna , LPC

Heather Goodman-D'Anna is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Louisiana with 11 years of clinical experience. She uses a warm, client-centered style to help people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship concerns. Heather focuses on practical steps clients can try between sessions to build confidence and cope with tough moments.

She creates a calm, nonjudgmental space where people can talk through their thoughts and feelings. Sessions aim to clarify what matters most and identify small, achievable changes. Heather draws on cognitive behavioral tools to reframe unhelpful patterns and on mindfulness skills to reduce reactivity.

For people facing parenting strain, self-esteem struggles, or shifts in mood, Heather offers structured strategies and clear goals. She also supports those dealing with intimacy concerns, grief, addiction, ADHD, and trauma-related issues. Her practice pays attention to family of origin, multicultural concerns, and complex relationship dynamics.

Heather integrates motivational interviewing to help people find internal motivation for change and uses solution-focused techniques to map concrete next steps. Therapy is collaborative: clients set priorities and Heather adapts methods to fit each person's needs. She emphasizes skills that can be practiced in daily life to make progress between sessions.

Sessions are offered in English and tailored to individual goals. Heather encourages people who are nervous about starting therapy to take one small step toward scheduling a session and assessing how the fit feels.

Approaches and online options that fit your life

Heather often uses client-centered therapy, which focuses on listening closely and shaping sessions around each person's goals and values. This approach helps people feel heard and decide what changes matter most to them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, adds practical tools to spot unhelpful thinking and test new behaviors; it is useful for anxiety, depression, and mood regulation.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Heather works collaboratively to match techniques to a person's needs, goals, and comfort level. Together they may try mindfulness practices for emotional regulation, motivational interviewing to build commitment to change, or solution-focused steps to create immediate progress. The treatment plan can be adjusted as goals evolve.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect: video calls for face-to-face conversation, phone sessions when bandwidth or visual focus is a concern, live chat for brief check-ins, and text-based messaging for ongoing support between appointments. These formats make it easier to fit therapy around work, family, or school while using methods like CBT and mindfulness in real-life moments.
