Danielle Cummings

Danielle Cummings is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) based in Indiana with eight years of clinical experience. She approaches sessions with curiosity and warmth, asking clients to lead while offering steady guidance. Her style is grounded, direct, and compassionate so people feel heard and understood.

Danielle draws on many therapeutic methods to meet practical needs. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to address unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify values and take meaningful steps. She also weaves attachment-focused ideas into conversations about relationships and belonging.

Clients may come with a wide range of concerns, including stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship struggles, parenting strain, ADHD, addictions, anger, and trauma-related issues. Danielle names everyday problems plainly and helps people break them into manageable steps. She invites reflection on family history and the ways early experiences shape current patterns.

Sessions are collaborative. Danielle describes the work as riding in the passenger seat with her clients guiding the direction. She leans on empathy and intuition, while inviting practical skills and changes that fit a person’s life.

Outside of practice she values family time, nature, and the steady company of her dogs. She has lived and traveled in several places, which informs her effort to understand diverse cultural and spiritual backgrounds. Her training includes a Master of Arts in Marriage and Family Therapy and Professional Counseling from Johnson University.

How different approaches shape online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It can be useful when someone feels stuck or wants clearer direction in life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on spotting thought patterns and trying different behaviors to reduce distress and improve daily functioning. This approach often helps with anxiety, depression, and stress. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships affect current connections and helps people build safer ways of relating to others.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Danielle will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasnt helped before. Together they decide which ideas and techniques to try and adjust the plan as progress is made.

Because session formats are not detailed here, confirm current online options before booking. Many people find that remote sessions make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. Online work can support skill practice between meetings, make it simpler to involve notes or worksheets during a session, and help a person maintain continuity of care while juggling family or work demands.
