About Danielle
Danielle Cummings brings eight years of clinical experience to her work as a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. She focuses on building a genuine connection and listening to each person's story with curiosity and respect.
Background and approach
Danielle aims to sit alongside people as they navigate painful moments and life changes. Her approach is warm and straightforward.
She uses clear conversation, practical skills, and short exercises to help people cope with anxiety, depression, addictions, and relationship strain. Sessions often include goal-setting and step-by-step plans that feel manageable between appointments.
Danielle draws on several evidence-based methods. She blends cognitive behavioral ideas with mindfulness and acceptance strategies to help people change unhelpful patterns.
Attachment-focused work is used when early relationships shape current struggles with trust, intimacy, or communication. She has experience supporting people through trauma, grief, parenting stress, mood disorders, and issues around identity and sexuality.
Danielle also addresses co-occurring concerns such as ADHD, anger, and substance use by helping clients identify triggers and develop coping routines. Danielle values cultural awareness and seeks to understand backgrounds and beliefs that shape each person’s life.
Her style is collaborative - she invites clients to steer the work while offering guidance, feedback, and practical tools to move forward.
Evidence-informed approaches available online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice unhelpful thoughts without getting stuck in them and clarifies values to guide action. It can help with anxiety, depression, and life transitions by focusing on what matters most and taking small steps toward those priorities.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify and change thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. It is useful for mood disorders, anxiety, and coping with stress through practical exercises and behavioral experiments.
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns affect current connections. This approach can be helpful for improving communication, intimacy, and trust in relationships by exploring interaction patterns and practicing new ways of relating.
Danielle approaches the choice of method as a team effort. She will talk with each person about their goals and trial different strategies to find what feels most helpful. The plan is adjusted over time based on what works and what the client prefers.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy fit into busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited, chat supports shorter check-ins, and messaging is useful for ongoing support between scheduled appointments.
