Danielle Cummings , LMFT

Danielle Cummings is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) practicing in Indiana with eight years of clinical experience working with individuals, couples, families, and groups. She holds a Master of Arts in Marriage and Family Therapy and Professional Counseling from Johnson University in Knoxville, TN. As an LMFT, she is trained to address relationship dynamics, family systems, and individual mental health concerns through a therapeutic lens that considers interpersonal patterns and context.

Drawing on a background in community mental health, she has supported clients across the lifespan, from children to older adults, using a range of approaches including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, mindfulness practices, solution-focused techniques, and systemic interventions. Her clinical work spans issues such as addictions, trauma and abuse, mood and anxiety disorders, parenting and family conflict, grief, identity concerns, and intimacy-related challenges.

Danielle emphasizes genuine connection, empathy, and presence in her work. She seeks to understand each person within their cultural, socioeconomic, and spiritual context and aims to advocate for and collaborate with marginalized populations. Outside of practice she values family life with a long-term partner and two children, enjoys nature and travel, and finds companionship with three dogs. She invites clients to explore their stories and goals at a pace that feels right for them, offering guidance without pressure and tailoring interventions to meet individual needs.

Approaches That Shape Online Care and Connection

Danielle often integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Attachment-Based Therapy, and Client-Centered Therapy into her online practice. ACT emphasizes building psychological flexibility through values-driven action and mindfulness skills - it can be useful for anxiety, depression, and motivation challenges. Attachment-Based Therapy explores patterns formed in early relationships to improve connection, trust, and emotional regulation in current relationships. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on empathy, unconditional positive regard, and collaborative goal-setting so clients feel heard and supported while they clarify their own solutions.

Finding the right combination of approaches is part of the therapeutic process. Danielle works collaboratively with clients to identify which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting strategies as insight grows and circumstances change. This collaborative stance helps tailor care to each person rather than imposing a single model.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility for people with busy schedules, limited local options, or mobility constraints. Video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging allow clients to connect with licensed professionals from home, work, or while traveling, making it easier to maintain continuity of care and to access support when it is most needed.
