Danielle Simmons

Danielle Simmons is a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) based in New York. She offers calm, practical support for people facing anxiety, depression, anger, and major life changes. Danielle aims to make sessions straightforward and focused on real-life coping skills.

She draws on several evidence-informed approaches to meet clients where they are. Sessions often look at thoughts and behaviors that feed anxiety and mood problems, and practice new ways of responding when strong feelings arise. Danielle also helps people untangle communication patterns that cause ongoing conflict or stress.

Work with her includes setting clear goals and trying small, doable changes between sessions. She pays attention to family of origin patterns, caregiver strain, and relationship dynamics when those areas matter to a client’s goals. Therapy can include building emotion regulation skills, improving problem-solving, and strengthening self-worth.

Danielle’s background includes six years of clinical experience in community and outpatient settings. She uses that experience to offer practical strategies for parenting stress, career transitions, and forgiveness work. Her services are informed by the clinical approaches she practices and by a focus on each client’s personal values.

Sessions are offered in English and conducted under her New York LMFT credential. People interested in starting are invited to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial appointment according to the available times.

Approaches that guide online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on a respectful, listening stance where the client’s goals guide the work; it helps people feel heard and clearer about what they want. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches concrete strategies to reduce anxiety, panic, and low mood. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) brings skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and better interpersonal boundaries when feelings run high.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. The therapist will work collaboratively to match methods to a client’s needs, goals, and personal preferences. Sometimes this means trying different techniques and adjusting the focus as progress or challenges emerge.

Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make sessions easier to fit into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time around work or childcare. Licensed professionals can use online sessions to practice skills, run brief problem-solving visits, and support long-term behavior change while keeping therapy integrated into everyday life.
