About Danielle
Danielle Simmons is a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) based in New York. She focuses on anxiety, stress, and relationship concerns and helps people find clearer ways to cope and move forward. Her approach is direct and compassionate, aimed at practical change rather than only talk.
She uses client-centered techniques to build a trusting working relationship. That means sessions start with the person's goals and priorities. Cognitive behavioral tools are used to identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors.
Background and approach
Dialectical behavior strategies help when emotions feel overwhelming or out of control. Danielle also draws on emotionally-focused work to address painful patterns in close relationships. Narrative ideas are used to rewrite difficult stories people tell about themselves.
These methods are chosen to match what each person needs, not applied the same way to everyone. She has six years of clinical experience and works with adults on concerns including depression, trauma and abuse, parenting stress, anger, and life changes. She also supports people with panic attacks, social anxiety, and issues tied to family of origin.
Sessions are offered in English. Danielle offers several ways to connect, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. The work often focuses on small, steady steps that fit into a busy life.
How therapy approaches translate to online care
Client-centered therapy focuses on the person's goals and experience and creates space for them to be heard. Online sessions use that same focus to set priorities each week and guide what the work looks like between meetings.Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) helps identify patterns of thinking that increase anxiety and teaches practical techniques to test new behaviors. In online sessions CBT worksheets, thought logs, and behavior experiments can be reviewed together during video calls or sent between sessions via messaging.
Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) offers skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication. Those skills can be practiced in short phone check-ins, live chat coaching, or reviewed in video sessions to support immediate coping when panic or strong emotions arise.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to choose methods that match a person’s goals, needs, and preferences, and will adjust the plan as progress is made.
Online options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls let you work face-to-face and use worksheets together. Phone sessions can fit a commute or a break at work. Live chat and text messaging are useful for brief check-ins, skill practice, and when typing feels easier than talking. These formats make it simpler to keep therapy steady around a busy life.
