About Daniella

Dr. Daniella Jackson is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) based in Florida with two decades of professional experience. She blends practical skills and compassionate listening to help people facing stress, addiction, relationship problems, and life transitions.

She uses straightforward, evidence-informed methods so clients can see concrete changes. Sessions focus on skills people can use between meetings, such as managing strong emotions, improving communication, and reducing unhelpful thoughts. She also supports people dealing with grief, caregiver strain, aging and geriatric issues, and chronic health concerns.

Dr. Jackson draws on several therapeutic approaches to match each person's needs. She leans on cognitive-behavioral techniques for patterns of thinking and behavior. She uses client-centered principles to create a respectful, nonjudgmental space. Attachment-based ideas help when relationship patterns and closeness are the concern.

Her background includes long experience with addiction and related family impact, and she has worked with adults facing anger and self-management challenges. She also offers help around parenting stress, career strain, eating and sleeping problems, and ADHD-related challenges.

Born in Brazil, she speaks English and Portuguese and brings a multicultural outlook to her work. Dr. Jackson encourages people to take small, practical steps toward change, such as building routines, learning coping skills, and strengthening supportive relationships. If you want a steady, collaborative approach, she can help you plan the next steps.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people clarify what matters most and take small, values-based steps. It focuses on noticing thoughts without getting stuck and building actions that match personal goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches concrete strategies to change unhelpful patterns. Attachment-Based Therapy examines how early and current relationships shape how people connect, and it can help when trust, closeness, or repeating relationship patterns cause pain.

Finding the right approach is part of therapy. The therapist will work together with each person to decide which methods fit best based on goals, strengths, and preferences. That collaborative process can involve trying different strategies and adjusting the plan as needed.

Confirm the current session options before booking since the biography does not list formats. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into busy days, allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, and reduce travel time. It can also let someone join from another city when in-person visits are difficult. Licensed professionals, including therapists using these approaches, aim to help clients build skills that transfer into everyday life.
