About Heather

Heather Goodman-D'Anna is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Louisiana with 11 years of clinical experience. She works with adults on common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and parenting issues, self-esteem, and anger.

Her approach centers on clear, practical work in sessions. Heather uses client-centered methods to listen and help people name what matters most. She draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thoughts and try alternative behaviors. Mindfulness skills are introduced to reduce reactivity and improve moment-to-moment awareness.

Sessions focus on short-term goals and concrete steps. Solution-focused strategies help identify what’s already working and build on it. Motivational interviewing supports people who feel stuck or unsure about change.

Heather also brings attention to relationship patterns and attachment concerns that influence anger and communication. She will talk through family of origin issues, codependency, and trust or intimacy problems when these are part of the picture.

Her style is straightforward and practical. Clients can expect clear tools for coping, skills to manage strong emotions, and work on communication habits that reduce conflict. Heather asks for collaboration on goals and checks progress regularly.

Sessions are conducted in English and are intended for adults. The profile notes experience with LGBT topics, mood disorders, addictions, grief, and multicultural concerns among other focus areas.

How Heather uses evidence-based approaches online

Heather commonly draws on cognitive behavioral therapy to spot unhelpful thought patterns and test new behaviors. CBT helps with anxiety, depression, anger, and problems that repeat in relationships.

She also uses client-centered work to focus on what matters to the individual. This approach prioritizes listening and collaboration and helps set goals that feel meaningful. Mindfulness techniques are introduced to slow reactivity and increase awareness of emotions and bodily signals.

Choosing the right mix of approaches is part of the process. Heather will work with each person to decide whether CBT, client-centered dialogue, mindfulness, or a combination fits best based on goals and preferences. That decision is made collaboratively and reviewed as progress is tracked.
