About Daniella
Dr. Daniella Jackson is a Florida-licensed mental health counselor with two decades of experience. She holds the LMHC credential and brings a long history of working with adults affected by addiction and related challenges. She speaks English and Portuguese and draws on both clinical and life experience in her work.
Her background spans work with individuals, adolescents, and families who have faced addiction, anger, and self-management difficulties. Much of her career has centered on supporting adults with substance and behavioral addictions and the people close to them. She knows how addiction can ripple outward, causing grief, anxiety, and feelings of powerlessness.
In sessions she uses a mix of practical techniques from cognitive behavioral methods, acceptance-oriented work, attachment-focused ideas, and client-centered listening. She keeps sessions focused on clear, manageable goals so people can regain a sense of control. Expect conversations that balance skills practice with space to process feelings.
Dr. Jackson also helps with a broad range of life concerns beyond addiction, including stress, anxiety, relationships, parenting strain, career questions, and coping with change. She offers guidance on eating, sleeping, and intimacy-related struggles as well as support for people with ADHD and mood challenges.
Originally from Brazil, she has lived in the United States for 30 years and brings a warm, human approach to clinical work. Outside of therapy she enjoys meditation, walking, and time with animals, and she emphasizes hope and practical steps when helping people move forward.
How therapeutic approaches guide online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It emphasizes values-based choices and small committed actions to move life in a chosen direction. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety or depressive thinking. It often uses practical exercises and homework to build new habits. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at relationship patterns and how early connections shape current responses; it can help with intimacy, communication, and trust struggles.Finding the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or has not helped before, and then try methods that fit those needs. Over time the plan may be adjusted based on what makes the most progress and feels most comfortable.
If you are considering online work, confirm the session formats available before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - for example, shorter check-ins may be used when schedules are tight, and audio-only options can be preferable when video is not practical. Online work can reduce commute time and help maintain continuity during life changes, while still allowing the therapist to teach skills, practice conversation patterns, and set concrete goals that transfer into everyday routines.
