About Heather
Heather Goodman-D'Anna is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Louisiana with 11 years of experience. She focuses on practical strategies that help people manage stress, anxiety, and mood challenges. She also supports those working through relationship struggles, parenting strain, self-esteem concerns, and ADHD-related challenges.
Her approach centers on listening carefully and building trust. Sessions begin with where the person is now and what they want to change. She aims to make the therapy space feel open and nonjudgmental so people can talk about difficult thoughts and feelings.
Background and approach
Heather uses a mix of methods to match each person's needs. She draws on client-centered work to follow the person's pace. She also uses cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thinking and try new behaviors.
Mindfulness and solution-focused strategies are part of her toolkit for coping with stress and moving toward clear goals. Motivational interviewing is used when people are weighing change or feeling stuck. Together these methods help people break problems into manageable steps.
People come for help with grief, trauma, addiction concerns, intimacy and sexual culture questions, and issues tied to family of origin or multicultural identity. Heather talks through practical next steps and coping skills so daily life becomes more manageable. She offers sessions in English and provides online care through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging.
To begin, a short matching questionnaire is used to set up the first appointment.
How Heather blends practical approaches for online care
Client-centered therapy focuses on following the person's lead and creating a respectful, accepting space. It helps when someone needs to be heard and to sort through feelings before planning next steps. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and tests simple changes to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning. Mindfulness therapy adds skills for staying present and managing stress rather than getting swept up by worry or strong emotions.Finding the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. Heather works with each person to pick methods that match their goals, preferences, and life demands. She checks in regularly and adjusts techniques as progress is tracked so therapy stays practical and relevant.
Online options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life. Video works well for deeper conversations and skill work, phone can be a good shorter check-in or when bandwidth is limited, and chat or messaging can support quick coaching or between-session contact. These formats offer flexibility so people can keep therapy consistent while juggling family, work, or school commitments.
