About Danielle
Danielle Simmons is a licensed marriage and family therapist who focuses on helping people manage anxiety, stress, and life transitions. She brings six years of clinical experience and a calm, straightforward style to sessions. Danielle aims to make therapy feel practical and usable, not abstract or overwhelming.
In sessions she listens first, then helps clients set small, achievable goals. She uses talk-based work alongside skills practice to address panic, social anxiety, low self-esteem, and coping with change. Her approach emphasizes clear steps people can try between meetings.
Danielle often helps people untangle patterns that come from family relationships and past hurts. She pays attention to how communication and expectations shape daily life. That can include working through divorce or separation, caregiver stress, or family of origin problems.
She draws on Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, and Narrative Therapy. Those methods are used to build emotion regulation, change unhelpful thinking, and strengthen how people relate to others.
Danielle works with adults facing depression, anger, trauma, parenting strain, and career questions. She practices in New York and conducts sessions in English. To begin, she asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first appointment.
Approaches that guide online work and skill building
Danielle commonly uses Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to guide her work. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening closely and reflecting what matters to the person, helping them feel understood and decide what changes to try. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect and teaches concrete skills to reduce anxiety and panic symptoms.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. She will talk with each person about goals and preferences, and then recommend methods that fit their situation. That process is collaborative and flexible as needs change.
The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm the available options before booking. Online sessions can make therapy easier to fit into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They also let people practice coping skills in the settings where they live and work, which can help transfer gains from sessions into daily life.
