About Daniella

Dr. Daniella Jackson is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in Florida with 20 years of clinical experience.

Background and approach

She brings a long history of helping adults who face addiction, anger, and self-management challenges, and she also supports people affected by a loved one’s addiction. Dr.

Jackson speaks English and Portuguese, and she draws on a broad toolbox to meet different needs. Her work focuses on practical change.

She uses approaches that encourage clear thinking and new habits. Sessions are collaborative and aimed at restoring hope and a sense of control.

People come for help with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, grief, and many other concerns. Dr.

Jackson blends methods such as cognitive behavioral work, acceptance and commitment ideas, attachment-based thinking, and client-centered listening. That mix helps with coping skills, mood management, and handling painful memories or relationship patterns.

She also includes elements from emotion-focused and strength-oriented practices when useful. Her background includes long-term work with adults who have addiction and dual disorders, and experience supporting family members affected by those problems.

She understands how addiction can produce grief, helplessness, anger, and ongoing stress, and she helps people take steps forward. Sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging.

To start, a short matching questionnaire and scheduling step are used. Fees vary by location and are delivered through a subscription that can be canceled at any time.

Dr. Jackson combines steady clinical experience with a straightforward, compassionate style.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people accept difficult feelings while taking steps that match their values; it is useful for anxiety, stress, and coping with life changes. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how past and current relationships shape expectations and reactions, helping people improve closeness and reduce repeating painful patterns. The Gottman Method offers practical strategies for improving communication and managing conflict in relationships, with concrete exercises to rebuild trust and connection.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to a client's goals, needs, and preferences and then suggest a mix of methods that fit. Sessions often blend skill practice, emotion work, and real-life exercises chosen together with the client.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week. Video sessions let people work face to face, phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is an issue, live chat suits shorter check-ins, and text messaging supports ongoing reflections between sessions. These options provide flexibility while keeping the focus on making steady progress.
