Dr. Daniella Jackson, LMHC

Dr. Daniella Jackson is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) based in Florida with 20 years of clinical experience. She brings a long history of working with adults facing addiction, anger, and self-management challenges. She also supports people affected by a loved one’s addiction and helps them cope with the resulting grief, anxiety, and feelings of powerlessness.

Jackson uses straightforward talk and practical skills in sessions. She leans on cognitive behavioral methods and client-centered work to help people change patterns that cause distress. She also integrates acceptance-based and attachment-focused ideas when those fit a person's needs.

Sessions often focus on clear goals such as reducing substance use, improving communication, managing strong emotions, or rebuilding trust after loss. She helps people develop coping strategies for stress, anxiety, sleep and eating concerns, and difficult life transitions. The work includes skill practice, problem solving, and checking what works in day-to-day life.

Born in Brazil, she speaks English and Portuguese and has worked across many care settings over two decades. Her background includes helping people with trauma, grief, relationship difficulties, ADHD, and caregiving stress. She frames therapy as collaborative and practical, aiming to restore hope and a sense of control.

Outside of work she enjoys meditation, walking, and time with animals. She invites people who are ready to change to begin with a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions that fit their needs.

Approaches that guide online relationship and addiction work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages people to notice their thoughts and feelings without getting stuck by them, then take actions that match their values. It can help when anxiety, avoidance, or substance use get in the way of what matters most. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early and current relationship patterns affect trust and closeness. It helps people understand triggers in relationships and practice new ways of connecting.

Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals and try methods that fit their situation. Together they assess what is helping and adjust the plan over time so the work stays relevant and practical.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet.

Online therapy arrangements vary. Ask about the session options and scheduling details before booking, and explain what you need to participate comfortably. Agreeing on practical details can help you decide whether the proposed way of working fits your routine and preferences.
