About Daniella
Dr. Daniella Jackson is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) practicing in Florida with 20 years of clinical experience. She brings a long history of work addressing addiction, anger management, and related stressors. She speaks English and Portuguese and draws on her background to support people facing major life shifts and emotional strain.
She uses straightforward, practical methods in sessions. Conversations focus on what is happening now and on steps a person can try between meetings. That may include skills to manage strong emotions, new ways to think about problems, or practicing small behavior changes that make daily life more manageable.
Her work often centers on addiction and the ripple effects it creates for people close to someone struggling. She also helps with anxiety, depression, relationship strain, grief, and coping with life changes. Parents and individuals worried about sleep, eating, or attention challenges can expect clear, concrete ideas to try.
Dr. Jackson integrates techniques from cognitive behavioral approaches, acceptance-based work, attachment-focused ideas, and client-centered listening. Sessions tend to combine practical exercises with time to talk through difficult feelings. The goal is to help people regain routine and hope while learning manageable skills.
Originally from Brazil, she has lived in the United States for many years. Outside of work she enjoys meditation, walking, and being around animals. Her approach is collaborative and focused on small, achievable changes that fit each person’s life.

How these approaches guide online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then commit to small actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and adjusting to life changes. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early and current relationships shape emotions and reactions, offering ways to understand patterns that affect current relationships and closeness.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will listen to goals and preferences and then recommend strategies that fit the person's needs. Sessions are collaborative, with the client and therapist checking in about what helps and what to try next.
Confirm the specific online session formats before booking, since the profile does not list them. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. It also lets people use tools and worksheets between sessions so new skills can be practiced in real life. Licensed professionals can adapt ACT and attachment-focused techniques to remote sessions to focus on coping, routines, and relationship patterns.
