About Daniella
Dr. Daniella Jackson is a Florida-based licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) with 20 years of clinical experience. She combines practical therapy with a down-to-earth approach to help people manage stress, anxiety, addiction, relationship strain, and career concerns. She speaks English and Portuguese and draws on long experience supporting adults facing life transitions and addictive behaviors.
She has spent much of her career focused on addiction and related challenges. That work included helping people with alcohol, substance, medication, gambling, and technology issues, and supporting family members who feel overwhelmed by a loved one’s struggles. She describes those ripple effects as grief, helplessness, depression, and anxiety, and attends to those impacts in sessions.
Her methods mix cognitive behavioral techniques with client-centered and attachment-informed ideas. She also brings elements of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy when they fit the situation. In session she aims to teach practical skills, clarify values, and rebuild coping strategies.
Dr. Jackson prefers a collaborative style. She works with each person to set realistic goals, practice new skills between sessions, and track small changes over time. She balances direct skill-building with space to talk about feelings and relationships.
Outside of work she is originally from Brazil and has lived in the United States for three decades. She enjoys walking, meditation, and time with animals, and says helping others remains one of her greatest passions.

How therapeutic approaches guide online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying personal values and taking small committed steps toward those values while learning to live with difficult thoughts and feelings. It can help with anxiety, depression, and working through life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches practical tools to spot unhelpful thinking patterns and change behaviors that keep problems going. CBT is often useful for anxiety, low mood, and coping with stress. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns affect current bonds and helps people change how they relate to others and feel safer in relationships.Finding the best approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose or blend methods that fit their goals, needs, and preferences. That means trying techniques in sessions and adjusting them over time rather than committing to a single method up front.
Session format details are not specified here, so confirm available online options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when a full session is not needed. It also lets people work with a licensed professional who shares language or background, such as English or Portuguese, without changing their daily routine. The therapist will discuss which session rhythm and format best match a person's schedule and needs during the initial steps of working together.
