More about Danielle

  • LMFT

Maya Angelou once said, "There is no greater agony than bearing an untold story inside you." I believe that each person has a story to tell and I am someone who genuinely wants to know yours. My name is Danielle Cummings and I have had experience counseling many individuals, couples, families, and groups. My passion is to deeply connect with each person I come in to contact with and be present with them in that moment. I love my partner of over 18 years of marriage and my two beautiful children ages 11 and 13. I have three dogs that provide me with therapeutic connection and love through their unconditional acceptance. I enjoy being in nature in all its forms and have travelled and lived in many places (Shanghai, China was my favorite). I seek to understand people from all different socio-economic, cultural, racial/ethnic, and spiritual backgrounds. I strive to make an impact on this world for and with the marginalized population.

Will you imagine with me for a moment? You are a driver in a vehicle and I am in the passenger seat. Where are we going? Only you know where that vehicle will take us if you are willing to trust me as a partner in our approach to work together towards your goals. I utilize my gifts of intuition, empathy, compassion, wisdom, and passion to authentically connect with you, help you feel safe and lead you to a healthier, more fulfilling life. You are the expert on your own life. Are you willing to take a chance and let me get to know you and help you navigate the great struggle of humanity that we call life?

Through my experience of working in the community mental health setting I have had the opportunity to work with a multitude of people from all ages (4-85) with a variety of mental health struggles. In my experience I have utilized techniques from Cognitive Behavioral therapy, Solution-Focused, mindfulness techniques, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Systemic therapy, as well as many others. I graduated from Johnson University in Knoxville, TN with a Masters of Arts in Marriage and Family Therapy/ Professional Counseling. I am currently a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in Indiana.

Over the last few years of turmoil and disruption, many people have begun to question what is the purpose of my life? Am I satisfied in my relationships, in my job, etc? There is no greater time than now to start your personal journey towards healing. I will never push you to go where you do not want to go, but I am willing to go wherever it is that you need to go. Whether that is digging up the deep roots from your childhood of abuse, neglect, pain, sorrow, or other such difficulties that created your core beliefs about yourself and how you interact with others. Or if you want to focus on the here and now, present circumstances that you need relief and support from. Then I am the therapist for you.

About online counseling

Affordable.

Convenient.
Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
Available now.
There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

I absolutely love her demeanor and appropriate our conversations! She is very open and versatile in her experience and I couldn’t be happier to have her as my therapist!

Reviewed November 2022

I am pretty new to this process, but so far, I really appreciate Danielle's willingness to message with me between scheduled appointments. She is pretty good at helping me hone in on the root of my problems, as I'm not sure I really knew when I first started chatting with her. I feel like I've been all over the place, unpacking all the thoughts bouncing around in my head, but she has been patient with me through all of it. I feel like I'm gaining a better understanding of myself by talking with her and completing her worksheets.

Danielle is incredible. I cannot say enough good things. Better Help did an amazing job of hand picking the BEST therapist I could have ever asked for. She is patient, insightful, compassionate, non judge mental and open minded. I thought I was too out there to try therapy again, but I really needed some help and she gave me exactly what I needed to get through a rough period of my life. I am so grateful!

Danielle understands why I'm here and has helped me a lot with some of the things I am going through. She listens and has great feedback.

I have only had a few sessions with Danielle, but in those few sessions I already feel supported in my decisions for therapy, I feel safe in talking to her about things I haven’t talked to other about. I have never been more confident in my therapy sessions. I appreciate all that she does for me and other patients. She also uses my correct pronouns and is well educated the on lgbtq+ Community.
