Danielle Cummings , LMFT

Danielle Cummings is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) practicing in Indiana who brings a warm, relational approach to counseling. She holds a Master of Arts in Marriage and Family Therapy and Professional Counseling from Johnson University in Knoxville, Tennessee, and has eight years of professional experience working with individuals, couples, families, and groups across the lifespan. Her clinical background includes work with clients aged 4 to 85, and she integrates techniques from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, solution-focused strategies, mindfulness practices, and systemic methods to tailor treatment to each person’s needs.

Danielle focuses on a broad range of concerns including addictions, trauma and abuse, family and relationship issues, depression, anxiety, self-esteem, parenting challenges, grief, intimacy-related concerns, and concerns affecting LGBT clients. She also addresses attachment issues, body image, codependency, communication problems, and mood and personality-related difficulties. Danielle seeks to understand people from diverse socioeconomic, cultural, racial, ethnic, and spiritual backgrounds and is committed to supporting marginalized populations.

Outside of her clinical work she values deep personal connection - she has been married to her partner for over 18 years and is a parent to two children, ages 11 and 13. She finds restorative energy in nature, travel, and the companionship of three dogs. Danielle describes the therapeutic relationship as a collaborative journey in which the client guides the direction and she sits alongside as a supportive, empathic partner.

Therapeutic Approaches for Online Connection and Growth

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify their values and take small, meaningful steps toward a life that matters to them while learning skills to notice difficult thoughts and feelings without being driven by them. This approach is useful for anxiety, stress, depression, and patterns that get in the way of living on purpose.

Attachment-Based Therapy centers on understanding relational patterns that began in early life and how those patterns affect current relationships and emotional responses. It can help with trust, intimacy-related issues, codependency, and repairing family or couple dynamics.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing new ways of responding through practical exercises and skill-building. CBT is commonly used for anxiety, mood disorders, and managing symptoms in day-to-day life.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Danielle works with each person to identify goals, preferences, and the strategies that fit their situation, combining elements from different modalities when that best supports progress.

Online therapy offers flexible options such as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, making it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, maintain continuity during life transitions, and access licensed professionals from different locations. These formats support steady therapeutic work while allowing clients to choose what feels most comfortable and practical for them.
