About Daniella
Dr. Daniella Jackson is a Florida-licensed mental health counselor with two decades of experience. She holds the LMHC credential and brings long-term clinical work with adults who have struggled with addiction, anger, and self-management concerns. She also has a record of supporting family members affected by someone else’s substance or behavioral problems.
Her background spans work with adolescents, families, and adults over 23 years in clinical settings. Much of that time focused on adults with addictions to alcohol, illicit substances, medications, gambling, and technology. She has helped people navigate the emotional fallout of another's addiction, including grief, anxiety, and feelings of powerlessness.
Dr. Jackson uses practical, evidence-informed methods in sessions. She draws on cognitive behavioral strategies to identify unhelpful thinking and build new coping skills. She combines those tools with humanistic, client-centered techniques that emphasize the person’s own goals and values.
Sessions often include skills for managing cravings, mood, anger, and relationship stress. She also works on sleep, eating, and career-related strain when these affect daily functioning. People who want direct skills practice and a collaborative conversation tend to fit her style well.
Born in Brazil and now a U.S. citizen, she offers therapy in English and Portuguese. Readers should confirm the current session options before booking to make sure they match their needs.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters most to them and take small steps toward those values while learning to accept difficult thoughts and feelings. It can be useful for stress, anxiety, and coping with major life changes.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thought patterns and practicing different behaviors to change how someone feels. It is often used for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and habits tied to addiction.
Finding the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and try different methods to see what fits best. That process aims to match tools to your needs rather than forcing one way of working.
Please confirm current session options before booking, as the original biography did not list session formats. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Talk with the therapist about what scheduling rhythm and session length work best for your routine and goals.
