About Heather
Heather Goodman-D'Anna is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) practicing in Louisiana. She draws on 11 years of clinical experience to help people facing stress, anxiety, relationship struggles, and parenting challenges. Her approach aims to make the first step feel less daunting and more manageable.
She focuses on building an open, nonjudgmental space where thoughts and feelings can be talked through. Sessions center on what matters to the individual client, with attention to self-esteem, confidence, and coping skills. Many clients also bring concerns like depression, grief, mood changes, and issues connected to codependency and addiction.
Heather uses straightforward methods that people can try between sessions. She works with practical tools that address behavior and thinking patterns, as well as short-term strategies to manage immediate problems. Mindfulness and motivational techniques are folded into longer-term skill building when useful.
With attention to attachment, communication problems, and family of origin issues, Heather addresses the background that often shapes current struggles. She also supports people dealing with intimacy-related concerns, gender dysphoria, and diverse sexual cultures including BDSM and kink when those topics are part of therapy.
Her style is collaborative and focused on what the client wants to change. Heather encourages small, steady steps and checks in on progress as goals evolve. If you are weighing therapy, she invites you to begin with a simple questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How Heather’s approaches translate to online therapy
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to what each person needs in the moment. It’s about making space for a client’s concerns and letting goals emerge from their priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the connection between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns and reduce symptoms of anxiety or depression.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Heather will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit best for their goals, needs, and comfort. Goals and techniques are reviewed and adjusted over time so therapy stays useful and relevant.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm the current online options before booking. Many people find that online sessions help fit therapy into a busy schedule, make it easier to keep regular appointments, and allow focused work without long travel. Some formats also allow shorter check-ins or phone conversations when that better suits a day.
