About Danielle

Danielle Cummings is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) practicing in Indiana with eight years of clinical experience. She describes working with people facing addictions, trauma, anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, parenting pressures, and codependency concerns. Danielle draws on multiple therapy styles to help clients name problems and take practical steps forward.

She uses an accessible, person-focused approach rather than clinical distance. Sessions emphasize listening, clear feedback, and practical skills. Danielle often brings in mindfulness tools and behavioral techniques to manage stress, mood, and worry. She also uses work from attachment and acceptance approaches to look at how early relationships shape current patterns.

Her background includes a Master of Arts in Marriage and Family Therapy and Professional Counseling from Johnson University in Knoxville, Tennessee. Danielle has experience in community mental health settings and has worked with a wide age range. That practice shaped her comfort with a variety of life challenges and cultural backgrounds.

In sessions she invites clients to set the pace and direction. Some people focus on long-standing patterns such as codependency or family of origin issues. Others come for help with a current crisis, grief, or managing a mood disorder. She combines exploration of past wounds with tools for present coping.

Outside of work she is partnered and a parent, has lived abroad, and values nature and simple routines. Those life experiences inform her practical, down-to-earth way of supporting people who have been putting others first for too long.

How sessions work

How her approaches shape online work

Danielle draws from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy along with client-centered listening. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and choosing actions that match personal values; it can help with anxiety, avoidance, and making forward steps when feelings are intense. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships influence current patterns and helps people understand why they respond a certain way in close relationships.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Danielle will collaborate with clients to figure out which methods fit their goals and preferences. That could mean practicing behavioral skills one week, then using acceptance and values work the next. The plan is adjusted together as progress and needs become clearer.

The practical benefits of online sessions include fitting work around family, school, or job commitments and reducing travel time. Because session formats were not specified in the biography, confirm current session options before booking. Online conversations can make it easier to turn up for short check-ins, use exercises between sessions, and build skills into everyday life without rearranging your whole schedule.
