About Danielle

Danielle Cummings is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) practicing in Indiana with eight years of clinical experience. She helps people facing addictions, trauma, depression, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, and questions about life purpose. Sessions address a wide range of mood and behavioral issues, including ADHD, bipolar symptoms, grief, and struggles with self-esteem and intimacy.

Danielle draws on several practical approaches during sessions. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking patterns. She brings Acceptance and Commitment Therapy ideas to help people notice values and take small, meaningful steps. Attachment-based work is used when past relational patterns affect current connections.

Her background includes a Master of Arts in Marriage and Family Therapy and Professional Counseling from Johnson University in Knoxville, Tennessee. She has worked in community mental health settings and has experience supporting people across the lifespan. That experience informs how she talks about family of origin issues, communication problems, and codependency.

In the room she aims to listen and respond rather than lecture. Conversations can move between exploring early relational roots and addressing present-day stressors. Practical tools, skills practice, and clearer ways of describing a problem are common elements of her sessions.

Danielle also centers multicultural awareness and pays attention to how cultural, racial, spiritual, and socioeconomic backgrounds shape experience. She mentions work with LGBT concerns, gender dysphoria, and people affected by substance use and compassion fatigue. The focus is on working together toward goals the person names.

How her therapeutic approaches translate to online sessions

Danielle commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT often includes practical exercises and homework that can be reviewed together in a session. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is another frequent approach; it focuses on clarifying personal values and taking committed actions, which can be practiced between meetings and reviewed remotely.

Finding the right approach is part of the work she does with clients. She will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals, symptoms, and preferences rather than imposing a single style. That collaborative process can include trying different techniques and adjusting based on how helpful they feel.

The practical benefits of online work can make it easier to fit sessions into everyday life. Please confirm the current session formats before booking, since specific formats were not detailed in the biography. Online options often help people have shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, avoid travel time, or use audio-only meetings when bandwidth is limited. Danielle will discuss which approach and session rhythm best fit a person’s routine and aims.
