Dr. Daniella Jackson

Dr. Daniella Jackson is a Florida-licensed mental health counselor with two decades of experience. She holds the LMHC credential and has spent many years helping people navigate addiction, anger, and self-management concerns. She speaks English and Portuguese and brings a calm, practical approach to difficult situations.

Her background includes long-term work with adults with addiction and dual diagnoses. She has also supported family members affected by someone else's substance use and behavioral addictions. That work often involved grief, feelings of powerlessness, depression, and anxiety, and she aims to address those impacts alongside the core problem.

In sessions she uses a mix of approaches rooted in cognitive-behavioral and humanistic ideas. She also integrates attachment-focused thinking and emotion-focused techniques to help people understand patterns in relationships and reactions. The focus is on clear skills, honest conversation, and small steps forward.

Dr. Jackson invites people who want to regain more control over their lives to start with achievable goals. She values meditation, walking, and animals, and brings that grounded sensibility into her therapeutic style. Her work centers on helping people rebuild hope and practical coping strategies.

She has a long history of helping adults with addiction-related concerns and those affected by another person's addictive behaviors. Her practice is aimed at reducing harmful behaviors, improving communication, and restoring a sense of agency in daily life.

How her approaches transfer to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying values and taking small committed actions even when feelings are difficult; it can help with anger, anxiety, and life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) centers on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors; it is useful for stress, depression, and coping with addictions. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationship patterns affect present reactions and connections, which can help with intimacy and communication problems.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with each person to pick techniques that match their goals, preferences, and daily life. That may mean trying different tools over a few sessions and adjusting based on what helps most.

Confirm the therapist's current session options before booking since formats are not specified here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, shorten travel time, and allow for brief check-ins when needed. They also let people use skills in the settings where problems occur, and therapists can assign simple at-home exercises to practice between meetings.
