About Danielle

Danielle Cummings draws on eight years of clinical experience to support people facing a wide range of life challenges. She is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) based in Indiana who has worked in community mental health and with clients across the lifespan.

Background and approach

Danielle emphasizes connection and presence, inviting clients to share their stories while she offers empathy, intuition, and practical therapeutic skills. Her work blends evidence-informed methods such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Attachment-Based work, Client-Centered approaches, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT).

Danielle describes therapy as a collaborative journey where the client’s goals lead the way; she helps people explore both deep-rooted patterns from family and childhood as well as immediate concerns like stress, anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, addiction, and grief.

Outside of practice she values family life, time in nature, and cross-cultural understanding learned from living in varied places around the world. Danielle seeks to meet people where they are, honoring differences in socioeconomic, cultural, racial, ethnic, and spiritual backgrounds, and aims to support those questioning life purpose, relationships, or coping through major changes.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Danielle commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) in her work. CBT helps people identify and shift unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, or mood disorders through structured exercises and practical skills. ACT focuses on values-driven action and cultivating psychological flexibility so clients can pursue meaningful goals despite difficult feelings and painful memories.

Finding the right approach is part of the process, and Danielle approaches that decision collaboratively. She listens to each person’s goals, preferences, and life context, then integrates techniques that fit those needs while adjusting pace and focus as the relationship unfolds.

Online therapy with Danielle is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, which supports flexible scheduling and consistent engagement even when life is busy or travel is limited. These formats make it possible to work on skills, track progress, and maintain momentum between sessions while preserving the collaborative, client-centered orientation of her practice.
