Danett Simmons, LMFT

Danett Simmons is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) in Texas with 20 years of clinical experience. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, addiction concerns, grief, and relationship struggles. Parents and caregivers often come for help managing parenting strain, blended family issues, or the demands of caregiving. Danett also supports people coping with trauma, intimacy-related problems, body image concerns, and mood conditions such as bipolar disorder.

Her style is practical and down-to-earth. Sessions focus on what is happening now and on building skills that make daily life easier. She draws on cognitive behavioral tools to change unhelpful thinking and on attachment-based ways to improve how people connect with others. Danett uses client-centered listening to let people set the pace and priorities of therapy.

Over two decades she has worked with a wide range of life challenges, including chronic illness, grief after loss, caregiver stress, and recovery from abuse. She also attends to issues like abandonment, codependency, control and commitment worries, and communication breakdowns. Her work includes support for coping with disasters and other sudden life changes.

Clients can expect straightforward conversation and concrete strategies. Danett helps people practice skills between sessions so progress carries into everyday routines. She aims to build resilience, self-compassion, and clearer ways to handle conflict.

Therapy is offered in English and is available to people both inside and outside the United States. Sessions are scheduled to fit individual needs and may use different formats according to what works best for each person.

Online approaches that focus on thinking, connection, and goals

Danett uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot unhelpful thinking and try new behaviors that reduce anxiety or depression. CBT is goal-oriented and often includes simple exercises to practice between sessions.

She also draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how past relationships shape current connection patterns and to help people build safer, more satisfying bonds. Client-Centered Therapy informs her approach by keeping the client in charge of pace and priorities while she listens and reflects what matters most.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Danett will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and together decide which methods to use. That collaborative process helps shape a plan that feels useful and realistic for everyday life.

Online therapy is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video works well for in-depth conversations and visual cues, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and chat or messaging can fit short check-ins or busy schedules. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent and to use support in moments when a brief check-in helps the most.
