About Heather
Heather Goodman-D'Anna is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Louisiana with 11 years of clinical experience. She focuses on practical support for people facing stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, and parenting-related challenges. Heather aims to make beginning therapy less intimidating and meets clients with straightforward, respectful care.
Her sessions emphasize a client-centered style that keeps the person's goals first. She uses clear, goal-oriented tools from cognitive behavioral therapy to spot unhelpful thinking patterns and develop new habits.
Background and approach
Mindfulness techniques are woven in to help people manage strong emotions and stay present during difficult moments. Heather also uses motivational interviewing and solution-focused methods to help people find realistic next steps and build on their strengths. These approaches can be useful when someone is wrestling with substance use, codependency, or motivation to change.
She tailors techniques to the issue at hand rather than following a one-size-fits-all plan. Parents who are feeling overwhelmed or unsure about discipline, boundaries, or balancing responsibilities will find concrete strategies and steady support. Heather also works with people on intimacy issues, grief, mood concerns, ADHD, and identity-related struggles such as gender dysphoria and LGBT matters.
Her practice is conversational and goal-driven. Sessions are meant to be a place to talk through urgent problems and try practical steps between meetings. Heather encourages honest talk and small, measurable changes that fit each person's life.

Bringing goal-focused therapy online
Heather combines client-centered care with cognitive behavioral therapy to help people tackle specific problems in the moment. Client-centered work creates a respectful space where the person's concerns direct each session, while CBT offers clear steps to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can be useful for anxiety, mood problems, or parenting stress.Mindfulness therapy is also part of her approach, teaching simple attention and breathing practices that reduce reactivity and improve emotion regulation. Together these methods give both short-term tools and longer-term skills, and Heather works collaboratively to find the best fit for each person’s situation and goals.
Online therapy lets people use video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging depending on what fits their day. Video calls are good for in-depth conversations, phone sessions work when bandwidth is limited, live chat can be a quick way to check in, and messaging supports ongoing, flexible communication between appointments. These options make it easier to attend regularly and try new strategies consistently.
