Danielle Cummings, LMFT

Danielle Cummings is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with eight years of clinical experience. She works from Indiana and draws on a broad community mental health background. Danielle aims to meet people where they are and build a working relationship based on empathy and honest conversation.

She prefers a collaborative approach. Danielle listens for what matters most and helps outline practical steps toward goals. Sessions often focus on managing stress, anxiety, mood concerns, relationship strain, or problems tied to addiction and grief.

Danielle uses several evidence-informed methods in her work, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and Attachment-Based ideas. She blends these with client-centered listening and skills from dialectical behavior therapy when helpful. That mix lets her adapt to present problems or deeper roots from early life.

Her past work included community mental health settings where she supported people across the lifespan. Danielle brings that experience into short-term skill building and longer-term work on patterns that keep causing pain. She helps people clarify values, improve communication, and manage strong emotions.

Outside of therapy she values family life, time in nature, and travel. Those personal interests inform a warm, down-to-earth style in sessions. People who want a thoughtful, steady partner as they tackle change often find her approach practical and compassionate.

Evidence-informed approaches for online care

Danielle uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy as core tools in online work. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and teaching practical skills to change them, which helps with anxiety, depression, and mood problems. ACT helps people clarify what matters most to them and build actions that align with those values, useful for motivation, stress, and coping with life changes.

She also draws on Attachment-Based Therapy ideas to understand relationship patterns and improve connection and communication. Together these approaches are discussed and chosen with each person rather than imposed, so clients and therapist decide what fits the best for current needs and goals.

Online sessions are offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video is good for in-depth conversation and skill practice, phone works well when bandwidth is limited or for quick check-ins, and chat or messaging can suit brief updates or reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family, or other commitments while maintaining a steady therapeutic relationship.
