About Heather
Heather Goodman-D'Anna is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Louisiana with 11 years of experience. She works with adults on problems like anxiety, stress, relationship concerns, parenting struggles, low self-esteem, and issues tied to addiction and mood disorders. Heather lists codependency among her focus areas and often helps people who find themselves putting others first or losing their sense of self in relationships.
Her style emphasizes clear, practical conversations. She helps people notice patterns that cause pain and tries out small changes that make daily life easier. Sessions are conversational and goal-oriented, with space to talk about feelings and real-life choices.
Heather uses several evidence-based approaches to guide sessions. She draws on client-centered methods to prioritize the client's experience, cognitive behavioral techniques to address unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, and mindfulness exercises to reduce stress and increase moment-to-moment awareness. Motivational interviewing and solution-focused work help when someone wants clear steps toward change.
Her background includes supporting people with trauma, grief, intimacy concerns, ADHD, and diverse gender and sexual identities. Heather also lists work with attachment issues, family of origin concerns, and kink-affirming topics such as BDSM and alternative sex culture. This means conversations can include relationship patterns, boundaries, and how past family dynamics affect current life.
She encourages practical homework between sessions and focuses on small, manageable shifts. To get started clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the online options button.
How sessions work
How Heather’s approaches translate to online work
Heather commonly uses client-centered methods and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) in sessions. Client-centered work means the therapist focuses on the client's experiences and priorities, letting the conversation steer what matters most. CBT addresses unhelpful thoughts and behaviors with practical exercises and tests of new ways of thinking.She also uses mindfulness techniques to help reduce stress and bring attention back to the present moment. Mindfulness exercises are short practices that can help with anxiety, stress, and impulsive reactions. Together these approaches target emotional regulation, communication, and everyday coping skills.
Finding the right approach is part of the process and happens collaboratively. Heather will help clients pick methods that fit their goals, preferences, and the problems they want to change. That might mean starting with a few CBT tools, adding mindfulness practices, or using motivational interviewing to build readiness for change.
