About Heather

Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Louisiana with 11 years of experience. Heather Goodman-D'Anna focuses on stress and anxiety, relationship and parenting concerns, self-esteem, and coping with life changes. She uses Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and mindfulness-based techniques to help people manage everyday struggles.

Heather listens to what each person brings and helps name the most pressing problems. She uses clear, practical steps from CBT to change unhelpful thinking and behaviors. Mindfulness exercises are introduced to help with anxiety, mood swings, and moments of overwhelm.

Sessions emphasize what the client notices in daily life. Heather draws on Solution-Focused Therapy and Motivational Interviewing to set achievable short-term goals. This approach helps people make small changes that add up over weeks and months.

She also works with topics that touch identity and relationships, including LGBT concerns, gender dysphoria, intimacy-related issues, and nontraditional sexual cultures such as BDSM and kink. Addiction, grief, trauma and family-of-origin issues are part of her practice too. Heather addresses co-occurring concerns like mood disorders, ADHD, and substance use by focusing on practical coping skills.

Her style is direct and collaborative. Clients can expect straightforward talk, clear goals, and exercises to try between sessions. To begin, clients choose the See online therapy options button, fill a short matching questionnaire, and schedule a first session.

How Heather uses therapy approaches in online sessions

Heather commonly uses Client-Centered Therapy to focus on the client's perspective. This means the therapist listens closely and follows the client's lead to understand feelings and priorities, which helps with relationship concerns, identity issues, and self-esteem.

She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). CBT breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions, and uses practical exercises to change patterns that feed anxiety or depression. This approach suits stress management, mood disorders, and coping skills work.

Mindfulness Therapy is used to build moment-to-moment awareness. Simple breathing and attention practices are introduced to reduce reactivity and improve focus during times of high stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Heather will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals and preferences, and she regularly adjusts strategies based on what helps most.

The biography does not list specific online session formats. Please confirm current session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counseling into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time so people can use breaks or evenings more effectively.
