About Danielle
Danielle Simmons is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) practicing in New York with six years of clinical experience. She works with adults on common concerns like anxiety, depression, stress, relationship strain, parenting pressures, and anger. Sessions focus on practical skills and clearer communication rather than jargon.
Danielle uses several evidence-informed approaches to help people handle day-to-day emotions and stressful situations. She draws on client-centered work to prioritize the person’s perspective. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to identify unhelpful thoughts and try small behavior changes.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills are introduced for emotional regulation and distress tolerance when feelings feel overwhelming. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) ideas guide conversations about attachment and how patterns show up in relationships. Narrative Therapy techniques help people reframe the stories they tell about themselves and their past.
In practice, Danielle helps people break issues into manageable steps. She works on communication skills, self-esteem, and managing resentment or explosive reactions. She also supports those dealing with life changes, caregiver stress, and family-of-origin issues.
Her sessions are straightforward and practical. Clients can expect collaborative goal-setting, short-term strategies like coping tools, and attention to long-term patterns that keep problems returning.
How sessions work
How Danielle’s approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on understanding a person’s experience and priorities. Online, this means sessions begin with the client’s concerns and move at their pace, which helps when anger or relationship issues feel immediate.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks down thoughts, feelings, and actions into clear steps. In remote sessions CBT is used to spot thinking patterns, try short experiments between sessions, and track small behavior changes that reduce stress and reactivity.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers practical skills for regulating intense emotions and tolerating distress. When taught online, DBT skills can be practiced in real life between meetings and then reviewed with the therapist to make them more usable during triggers.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to choose which methods to try based on goals, what feels helpful, and how they prefer to work. That collaborative decision-making continues as progress is reviewed.
