About Daniella
Dr. Daniella Jackson is a Florida-licensed mental health counselor with two decades of clinical work behind her. She holds a Ph.D. in Psychology and speaks English and Portuguese.
She brings steady, practical care when people feel overwhelmed by anxiety, depression, addiction, or big life changes. Her background includes long experience supporting adults with substance and behavioral addictions. She has also helped people who are coping with the ripple effects of a loved one’s addiction, such as grief, helplessness, and strained relationships.
Background and approach
That experience shaped a direct, problem-solving style that focuses on what helps most in daily life. In sessions she uses clear, evidence-informed techniques from cognitive behavioral work, acceptance and commitment ideas, attachment-focused thinking, and client-centered listening. She teaches skills for managing anxiety, improving sleep, handling cravings, and repairing communication.
Meetings are collaborative and paced to each person’s needs. She offers therapy in English and Portuguese and works with people facing a wide range of concerns including stress, trauma, relationship and intimacy problems, ADHD, eating and body-image issues, and career or parenting strain. Her Florida license is listed as LMHC and she brings 20 years of practice to her work.
Outside of work she values meditation, walking, and time with animals. She aims to help people regain a sense of control and hope, and to build practical steps that fit into busy lives.
Approach and access: therapy methods and online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) asks people to notice unhelpful thoughts and values, then take small, meaningful actions toward what matters. It can help with anxiety, depression, and motivation. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and building concrete skills to change behavior, which often helps with anxiety, sleep, and mood. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns shape current connections and communication, and it can be useful for intimacy and relationship concerns.Choosing the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels workable in day-to-day life. Together they will try methods that fit the person's needs and adjust the plan as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy easier to use. Video lets people talk face to face when schedules allow. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or a quieter space is needed. Live chat and messaging work well for brief check-ins, skill practice, or when typing feels more comfortable. These formats give flexibility for people balancing work, caregiving, or travel.
