About Daniella

Dr. Daniella Jackson is a Florida licensed mental health counselor (FL LMHC) with 20 years of clinical experience. She combines a doctorate in psychology with long-term work helping people cope with addiction, anger, and related struggles.

Jackson has spent much of her career working directly with adults facing addiction and self-management challenges. She has also supported people affected by a loved one’s substance use, noting how that impact can show up as grief, depression, anxiety, or a sense of powerlessness.

Her day-to-day approach draws on cognitive behavioral methods and acceptance-focused strategies. She also uses attachment-informed and client-centered ways of working to help people notice patterns and make practical changes. Sessions focus on real-life skills, clearer communication, and steps that fit into daily routines.

People come to her for anger concerns, stress, relationship strain, sleep and eating issues, parenting questions, and career or life-change coaching. She also lists work around trauma, grief, ADHD, and compassion fatigue among her areas of focus. Jackson offers services in both English and Portuguese.

Originally from Brazil, she has lived in the U.S. for three decades and brings that background into her clinical perspective. Her practice balances structured skill teaching with straightforward conversation about goals and obstacles. New clients begin by completing a short matching questionnaire and then scheduling their first session.

How sessions work

How her approaches adapt to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings while moving toward values-based action. It is often used for stress, anxiety, and problems that return after short-term relief. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing new behaviors with clear steps and homework. It can be effective for anger, depression, sleep, and many coping skills. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns affect current reactions and communication, which can be useful when anger or relationship conflict keeps repeating.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to pick methods that match their goals, preferences, and life demands. That means checking how exercises, homework, and conversation fit into a client’s schedule and adjusting as progress is tracked.

Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current online options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Therapists can assign brief between-session exercises, practice communication skills in real situations, and adjust pacing to fit a client’s daily routine.
