Heather Goodman-D'Anna , LPC

Heather Goodman-D'Anna is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Louisiana with 11 years of clinical experience. As an LPC she holds state certification to provide professional counseling and has spent over a decade supporting people through common life challenges.

She specializes in helping clients develop healthier ways to cope with stress and anxiety, navigate relationship and parenting concerns, and strengthen self-esteem and confidence. Her approach emphasizes a collaborative, nonjudgmental atmosphere where thoughts and feelings can be voiced openly. Heather focuses on creating a respectful space that encourages exploration and practical growth.

Beginning therapy often requires courage, and Heather recognizes the importance of that first step. She aims to guide each person through the initial stages of treatment and to offer steady support as they work toward clearer coping strategies, stronger relationships, and greater emotional resilience.

Collaborative Therapeutic Approaches for Online Care

Heather uses client-centered therapy to build a trusting, empathic relationship that places the client's personal goals at the center of the work. This approach supports exploration of feelings and strengthens self-understanding, which can be helpful for relationship concerns, self-esteem, and parenting challenges.

She also draws on cognitive behavioral therapy, a practical method that helps identify unhelpful thought patterns and develop concrete skills to manage anxiety, low mood, and stress. Mindfulness therapy is used alongside these approaches to increase present-moment awareness and improve emotional regulation, which can reduce reactivity and support coping during difficult moments.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Heather will work with each person to determine which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress is made.

Online sessions can be scheduled by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different lifestyles and comfort levels. Remote care makes it easier to connect with licensed professionals from home or other settings, allowing clients to access consistent support without disrupting daily responsibilities.
