About Danett

Danett Simmons is a Texas-based licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) with 20 years of clinical experience helping people navigate stress, anxiety, relationship challenges, trauma and abuse, parenting concerns, addictions, grief, and mood disorders such as bipolar and depression.

Background and approach

She draws on a range of approaches to support healing and growth, guiding clients toward practical coping strategies and greater self-understanding while attending to underlying patterns like attachment difficulties, abandonment concerns, or codependency.

Her style emphasizes collaboration and emotional attunement, creating space for clients to examine life transitions, intimacy-related struggles, body image and eating concerns, and the impact of chronic illness or caregiving stress. Danett incorporates cognitive behavioral techniques alongside attachment-based and emotionally focused methods to help people shift unhelpful thoughts, improve relational patterns, and build resilience.

She works with issues that include communication and commitment difficulties, anger and control problems, ADHD, compassion fatigue, and other complex presentations. Clients can expect an individualized plan that combines practical tools and reflective exploration, aimed at producing meaningful short- and long-term changes.

Danett brings clinical experience and a client-centered orientation to each therapeutic relationship, helping people move toward healthier functioning and stronger interpersonal connection.

Therapeutic approaches and online access that fit your life

Danett commonly uses cognitive behavioral methods, attachment-based work, and client-centered strategies in her practice. Cognitive behavioral techniques focus on identifying and shifting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and mood instability. Attachment-based work explores relational patterns and early bonding experiences to improve intimacy, trust, and emotion regulation. A client-centered approach emphasizes empathic listening and collaboration so the therapy plan aligns with each person’s values and goals.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapy process, and Danett partners with clients to determine what will be most useful based on individual needs, goals, and preferences. She combines methods as appropriate, adapting interventions over time as progress unfolds to make sure the work stays relevant and practical.

Online therapy sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to maintain regular care during life transitions, manage ongoing symptoms between in-person options, and access licensed professionals from wherever you are located.
