Danielle Cummings , LMFT

Danielle Cummings brings a warm, relational approach to therapy, believing that every person carries a story worth hearing. As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with a Master of Arts in Marriage and Family Therapy and Professional Counseling from Johnson University in Knoxville, TN, she has counseled individuals, couples, families, and groups across a wide range of life challenges. Her work in community mental health exposed her to clients aged 4 to 85 and informed a flexible, skill-based approach to treatment that blends techniques such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Solution-Focused strategies, mindfulness practices, and systemic perspectives.

Danielle values deep connection and presence, offering intuitive empathy, compassion, and practical wisdom to guide clients toward more fulfilling lives. She has lived and traveled in many places, with Shanghai, China named as a particular favorite, and she seeks to understand people from diverse socio-economic, cultural, racial, ethnic, and spiritual backgrounds. That commitment extends to making an impact alongside marginalized populations.

Outside of her clinical work she is grounded by a long-term partnership of more than 18 years, two children ages 11 and 13, and three dogs who provide everyday affection. Nature, travel, and family inform her perspective and influence her steady, collaborative stance in helping others explore roots of pain, present difficulties, and pathways to growth. LMFT indicates that she is trained and licensed to work with individuals, couples, and families in therapeutic settings.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care with Danielle Cummings

Danielle Cummings draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy along with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to support clients in online sessions. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them, build psychological flexibility, and take value-driven action even in the presence of difficult thoughts and feelings. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current patterns of connection and trust, helping people heal relational wounds and improve intimacy. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) offers practical tools to identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors that contribute to anxiety, depression, and other mood concerns.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Danielle collaborates with each person to determine which methods best align with their goals, values, and preferences, adapting strategies as needs evolve so therapy feels personalized and practical.

Online sessions by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging allow for flexibility and consistent access to care. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, maintain continuity during life transitions, and engage in treatment from familiar environments while working with licensed professionals and therapists who tailor their approach to each client.
