About Daniella

Dr. Daniella Jackson is a Florida licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) with two decades of experience in behavioral health. She brings steady, practical support for people who are stressed, anxious, grieving, or coping with addiction and life changes. She speaks English and Portuguese and draws on years of work with adults affected by substance use and related problems.

Her background includes long-term work with addiction, anger management, and self-management challenges. Much of her practice has focused on helping people regain a sense of control after difficult events. She also offers support to those who have been impacted by a loved one’s substance use and the distress that can follow.

In sessions she uses straightforward methods from cognitive behavioral work, acceptance-based ideas, and a client-centered stance. That means she helps people notice what matters, test habits that no longer serve them, and practice new ways of coping. She emphasizes practical steps you can try between meetings.

Dr. Jackson’s style is warm and goal-oriented. She pays attention to relationships and attachment patterns, and she helps people rebuild trust with themselves and others. Expect short, clear explanations and tools you can use right away.

Outside of clinical work she enjoys meditation, walking, and animals. Those interests inform a calm, grounded approach in sessions and a focus on small, sustainable changes.

How therapy approaches translate to online work

Dr. Jackson commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her practice. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying personal values and learning small, actionable ways to move toward them even when hard thoughts or feelings are present. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, and then practices concrete skills to change them.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust those methods as progress is made.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the session formats available before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It can also let people use audio-only options when video would be difficult, or schedule sessions around work or caregiving responsibilities. Ask about current session options when you start the matching process so you can pick what fits your routine.
