About Danett

Danett Simmons is a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) in Texas with 20 years of clinical experience helping people navigate complex emotional and interpersonal challenges.

Background and approach

She focuses on concerns such as stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, parenting struggles, grief, mood disorders including bipolar and depression, addictions, and ADHD. Her practice also addresses attachment wounds, abandonment, body image, codependency, chronic illness and caregiver stress, and other issues that affect daily functioning and relationships.

Her style emphasizes empathy, collaboration, and individualized care. Drawing from approaches like Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, and the Gottman Method, she helps clients build insight, develop practical coping strategies, and strengthen relational skills.

Sessions aim to blend emotional processing with concrete tools for managing symptoms and improving communication. Danett creates an inclusive environment intended to support self-compassion and sustainable change.

She works with clients to identify goals, adapt interventions to their needs, and foster resilience through life's transitions and stressors.

Integrating Evidence-Based Approaches into Online Care

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early and current relationship patterns shape emotional responses and security; it helps people explore connection, repair ruptures, and build more dependable ways of relating. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) offers concrete tools to identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can reduce anxiety, improve mood, and increase practical coping skills. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) centers on identifying and reshaping emotional responses within relationships to improve bonding and communication.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and this clinician works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods fit their goals, preferences, and presenting concerns. Together they assess progress and adapt techniques so treatment stays relevant to changing needs.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which can make it easier to maintain regular appointments around work, caregiving, or health limitations. These formats support consistent access to a licensed professional and allow therapy to continue across distances and life transitions, while preserving the relational focus of the clinical approaches described above.
