Heather Goodman-D'Anna, LPC

Heather Goodman-D'Anna is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Louisiana who uses practical, evidence-informed methods to help people manage anxiety, stress, and relationship concerns. She emphasizes clear communication and steady, problem-focused work so clients can make usable changes in day-to-day life.

She has 11 years of professional experience supporting people with low self-esteem, confidence struggles, and parenting challenges. Heather also helps with mood concerns such as depression and bipolar symptoms, and with coping through grief and major life transitions. She brings attention to addiction, ADHD, and intimacy-related concerns while recognizing how these issues intersect.

Heather blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy with client-centered care. She helps people identify unhelpful thinking and test small behavior changes. Mindfulness practices are used to build calm and improve focus during moments of distress.

Motivational interviewing and solution-focused techniques help when someone wants to set goals and stay motivated. Sessions are practical and paced to what each person needs that week. Heather aims to make the process straightforward and goal oriented.

People can expect a respectful, nonjudgmental space to talk about difficult topics such as family of origin issues, infidelity, guilt and shame, or multicultural and gender-related concerns. Heather encourages honest conversation and works with each person to find realistic next steps they can try between sessions.

Approach-driven care you can access online

Heather commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and try small behavior changes that reduce anxiety and lift mood. Client-centered work means sessions focus on the person's own goals and what matters most to them, with empathetic listening and collaborative planning. Mindfulness practices are offered to build moment-to-moment awareness and calm when stress or strong emotions arise.

Choosing the right approach is a shared process. Heather will talk through goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before to decide which methods to try first. She adjusts the plan as progress is made so the work stays relevant and manageable.

Online therapy provides flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video sessions let people use visual cues for deeper conversation, while phone sessions can be easier when internet bandwidth is limited. Live chat or text works well for brief check-ins, homework review, or when someone prefers typing over speaking. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and keep momentum between visits.
