About Danett
Danett Simmons is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) in Texas with 20 years of clinical experience. She works with adults dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship strain, trauma and abuse, parenting pressures, addiction, grief, and codependency. Danett also supports people facing mood disorders, challenges with intimacy, and struggles with self-esteem.
Her style is direct and person-centered. Sessions focus on clear goals and practical steps. Conversations look at how past attachment patterns show up now. Clients learn to notice how they respond to others and practice different choices.
Danett uses approaches that include attachment-based work, client-centered listening, cognitive behavioral techniques, emotionally-focused methods, and elements of the Gottman method. She blends these to address communication problems, boundary-setting, and repeated relationship patterns. Expect talk, reflective exercises, and skills practice you can try between sessions.
She also works with issues tied to caregiving, chronic illness, body image, and abandonment fears. In sessions she helps people identify control struggles, dependent or avoidant behaviors, and ways codependent patterns affect daily life. The aim is clearer thinking, steadier emotions, and more deliberate choices in relationships.
Danett sees therapy as collaborative. She helps set practical steps for change, tracks progress, and adjusts methods when needed. Sessions are straightforward and focused on what will make day-to-day life feel more manageable.
How sessions work
How therapeutic approaches translate to online sessions
Attachment-based work looks at how early relationship patterns affect current reactions. In online sessions this can mean mapping relationship triggers and practicing new ways of relating during conversation. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflection, helping clients name feelings and priorities so they can make clearer decisions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches concrete tools to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, such as tracking thought patterns, testing assumptions, and practicing small behavioral experiments.Finding the best approach is a collaborative process. The therapist and client discuss goals, try different techniques, and adjust the plan based on what helps most. That means the first weeks often include assessment, skill practice, and checking what feels useful.
Confirm the specific online session formats before you book, as they are not listed here. Many people find virtual appointments easier to fit into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, or work well when camera-free sessions are preferred. Talk with the therapist about which practical arrangement would fit your schedule and daily life.
