Danielle Cummings, LMFT - Therapist in Indiana

About Danielle

Danielle Cummings is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with eight years of clinical experience. She connects directly with families and individuals and aims to be present and curious in sessions. Parents and caregivers will find a calm, steady presence who values practical steps and honest conversation.

She draws on a mix of therapies to meet real-life needs. Danielle uses cognitive behavioral techniques to change unhelpful thinking and acceptance and commitment ideas to build values-driven action.

Background and approach

She also uses attachment-focused work to look at family patterns and improve connection. Her background includes community mental health where she worked with people ages 4 to 85. That range gave her experience with parenting, mood disorders, trauma, addictions, and relationship problems.

She names compassion, intuition, and direct listening as central to her style. Danielle keeps things collaborative. She asks where a client wants to go and sits beside them as they figure out the next steps.

Sessions can focus on immediate relief for stress and anxiety or on deeper roots like childhood hurt and family of origin issues. Outside of work she values family life, long-term partnership, and time in nature. Those priorities inform a practical, down-to-earth approach to therapy.

She works from Indiana and offers services geared toward family and parenting concerns among other issues.

Therapeutic approaches adapted for online family work

Danielle commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which focuses on helping people clarify their values and take committed action even when difficult thoughts and feelings are present. ACT can help clients who want to rebuild meaning after loss, manage anxiety, or set clearer parenting goals.

She also draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early relationships shape current family patterns. This work helps parents and couples understand triggers, improve communication, and strengthen emotional connection.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Danielle collaborates with each person or family to figure out which methods fit their needs and goals. She adjusts techniques over time based on what is helpful and what feels doable for the client.

Online therapy offers several practical benefits for busy families. Video calls let therapists and parents meet face to face without travel, while phone sessions provide a simpler option when schedules are tight. Live chat and text-based messaging can support check-ins, skill practice, and brief coaching between sessions. These formats provide flexibility so therapy can fit around family life and changing routines.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

Less about arguing with difficult thoughts, more about loosening their grip and acting on what matters to you anyway. Values and committed action carry the work, which suits conversation at a distance.

Attachment-Based Therapy

Looks at how early bonds shaped what you expect from closeness, and how that plays out now with a partner, a parent, or your own children.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.
