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 brings focused support for people navigating stress, anxiety, relationship and parenting challenges, self-esteem and confidence concerns, and a range of mood and behavioral issues.

Her work centers on creating an open, nonjudgmental space where thoughts and feelings can be explored honestly. Heather uses an empathetic, client-centered stance to help people identify practical coping skills and new ways of relating to themselves and others. She draws on evidence-informed methods to address both short-term difficulties and longer-standing patterns that affect relationships, attachment, and emotional well-being.

Heather recognizes that beginning therapy often takes courage and views the first step as an important milestone. She aims to partner with each person to clarify goals, build skills, and support growth at a comfortable pace, honoring individual values and cultural context throughout the process.

Approaches and Online Care to Support Change

Heather integrates client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and mindfulness therapy to tailor care to each person. Client-centered therapy focuses on building a respectful, collaborative relationship where the therapist follows the client’s lead and helps them explore values, emotions, and goals in a supportive way. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) teaches practical tools to identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can be especially helpful for anxiety, depression, and stress-related problems. Mindfulness therapy encourages present-moment awareness and gentle acceptance of thoughts and feelings, supporting emotion regulation and reducing reactivity.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the therapeutic work. Heather collaborates with clients to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting strategies as progress unfolds so care remains relevant and effective.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to engage - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging - making it easier to attend sessions from home, work, or other environments. These options increase accessibility and allow therapists and clients to focus on practical problem-solving, skill-building, and relationship work without requiring in-person visits.
