About Daniella
Dr. Daniella Jackson is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) based in Florida with two decades of clinical experience. She brings steady, practical support to people facing anxiety, addiction, depression, grief, relationship strain, and other life stresses.
Daniella speaks English and Portuguese and uses clear, down-to-earth language in sessions. She focuses on helping individuals who are coping with addictive behaviors, mood struggles, and hurt from relationship difficulties. Sessions often center on steps people can try right away to feel more in control.
Background and approach
Daniella also assists those who are affected by someone else’s addiction, addressing the related grief, anger, and helplessness that can arise. Her work blends evidence-informed tools and a warm, person-centered stance. She uses strategies from cognitive behavioral therapy to change unhelpful thinking and behavior, and draws on acceptance and commitment ideas to help people clarify values and take meaningful action.
Attachment-based perspectives guide work on relationship patterns and closeness. In the room she keeps things collaborative and practical. Clients can expect clear goals, coping skills to use between sessions, and space to process difficult emotions.
Sessions are paced to match each person’s needs and readiness. Outside of practice she enjoys meditation, walking, and time with animals. Her background living in Brazil and the United States informs her cross-cultural awareness and ability to work in Portuguese when needed.
How her approaches shape online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and making life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on changing patterns of thinking and behavior that keep problems stuck and is often used for anxiety, depression, and addictive behaviors. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how past relationship patterns influence current connections and helps people build healthier ways of relating.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and suggest which methods to try. That plan is flexible and can be adjusted together as progress unfolds.
Online therapy with her is offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video lets people see nonverbal cues and do longer sessions, phone can work when bandwidth is limited, live chat supports shorter check-ins, and messaging is useful for brief updates or between-session coaching. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to keep continuity when life gets in the way.
