About Heather

Heather Goodman-D'Anna is a licensed professional counselor in Louisiana who draws on eleven years of clinical experience to help people manage stress, anxiety, relationship challenges, and parenting concerns.

Background and approach

She blends cognitive behavioral techniques with client-centered and mindfulness-informed strategies to help clients identify unhelpful thinking patterns, build practical coping skills, and increase present-moment awareness. Her work also addresses self-esteem, confidence, grief, mood disorders, and a range of intimacy and sexuality matters including BDSM and alternative sex culture.

She aims to foster an open, nonjudgmental space where clients can explore emotions and thoughts honestly. Heather incorporates motivational interviewing and solution-focused interventions when clients seek concrete goals or behavior change, and she adapts her approach to each person’s needs.

Her practice also covers substance-related concerns, trauma and abuse, attachment and family-of-origin issues, and multicultural considerations. The profile emphasizes a supportive, collaborative stance that respects individual experience while teaching skills for coping with life transitions and sustained mental health challenges.

Approach-Focused Online Care That Fits Your Life

Heather combines Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Client-Centered Therapy with mindfulness-informed practices to support change in an online setting. CBT helps clients examine and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors through practical exercises, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathic listening and collaboration, creating space for clients to explore feelings and build insight at their own pace. Mindfulness elements are woven in to enhance present-moment awareness and stress regulation when appropriate.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Heather works with clients to identify goals, preferences, and what methods feel most comfortable, adjusting interventions as progress is made. This means treatment plans evolve to reflect each person’s needs rather than following a fixed script.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and levels of comfort. These formats allow clients in Louisiana to access licensed professionals without traveling, making it easier to attend sessions consistently and to integrate therapeutic work into daily life.
