Danielle Cummings , LMFT

Danielle Cummings is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) based in Indiana with eight years of clinical experience supporting individuals, couples, families, and groups. She holds a Master of Arts in Marriage and Family Therapy and Professional Counseling from Johnson University in Knoxville, Tennessee, and brings a blend of clinical training and lived experience to her work.

Danielle approaches therapy as a collaborative journey in which the client sets the direction and she accompanies them. She often invites people to imagine the client behind the wheel and the therapist riding in the passenger seat - ready to offer guidance, intuition, empathy, and practical strategies without taking control. Her work draws on a range of evidence-informed methods, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), solution-focused approaches, mindfulness techniques, systemic ideas, and trauma-focused strategies, tailored to each personâs needs.

In community mental health settings Danielle has worked with a broad age range, from young children through older adults, and has supported people facing diverse mental health struggles. She has experience addressing issues such as trauma and abuse, addiction, relationship and family concerns, mood disorders, anxiety and stress, grief, self-esteem, parenting challenges, and intimacy-related difficulties. Danielle also attends to related areas like attachment issues, body image, codependency, communication problems, and multicultural concerns.

Outside of clinical work she values connection and belonging. She has been married to her partner for more than 18 years and is a parent to two children, ages 11 and 13. Three dogs are a meaningful source of companionship and comfort in her life. Danielle enjoys being in nature and has lived and traveled in several places, with Shanghai, China named among her favorites. She seeks to understand people from varied socio-economic, cultural, racial and spiritual backgrounds and is committed to supporting marginalized communities in ways that honor each personâs story and strengths.

Could Online Therapy Fit Your Life?

Many people ask whether meeting with a therapist online can make a meaningful difference. For many common concerns - such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, or navigating life transitions - online therapy has been shown to be just as effective as traditional in-person sessions.

One major benefit is flexibility. Clients can connect with licensed professionals in the format that suits them best - by video call, phone session, live chat, or in-app messaging - which can make it easier to fit mental health support into a busy schedule.

Licensed professionals offer a range of therapeutic approaches and, if a different fit is needed, clients typically have the option to switch therapists. Online therapy can be a practical way to access consistent care from trained therapists while balancing other life responsibilities.
