About Danielle
Danielle Simmons is a licensed marriage and family therapist, LMFT, practicing in New York with six years of experience. She works with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and family concerns, and major life changes.
Danielle focuses on clear, practical work in sessions. She listens for patterns in relationships and emotion, then helps people name what is happening and try different ways of responding. She uses talks and in-session exercises rather than jargon, so clients leave with concrete steps to try between meetings.
Her approach draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy to look at attachment and the emotions that drive relationship patterns. She also uses client-centered methods to follow each person’s goals and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques to notice unhelpful thoughts and habits. Dialectical Behavior Therapy and Narrative Therapy inform her work when skills building or re-authoring life stories are useful.
Danielle often supports people facing parenting strain, caregiver stress, communication breakdowns, grief from separation, and the aftermath of trauma and abuse. She also works with issues like panic attacks, social anxiety, low self-esteem, and questions about life purpose and career direction.
In sessions she combines listening with practical tools. Clients can expect a focus on emotion, clearer communication skills, and specific strategies to manage difficult feelings between appointments.
How Danielle integrates EFT and skill-based approaches online
Emotionally-Focused Therapy focuses on identifying and working with the emotions that underlie relationship and attachment patterns. It helps people name hard-to-identify feelings and try new ways of responding in close relationships. Client-Centered Therapy centers on the client’s own goals and experience, following the person’s lead to shape sessions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions, and teaches practical steps to change unhelpful patterns.Finding the approach that fits is part of the work. Danielle will collaborate with each person to decide whether EFT, CBT, client-centered work, or a mix makes the most sense for their goals. That choice evolves as therapy progresses and is revisited together. Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm the current online session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and avoid travel time. It also makes it simpler to involve homework, skills practice, and real-time problem solving between appointments.
