About Daniella

Dr. Daniella Jackson is a Florida-licensed mental health counselor with 20 years of clinical experience. She combines practical skills with a down-to-earth style to help people facing addiction, relationship strain, anxiety, and codependency. Dr. Jackson speaks English and Portuguese and brings direct experience supporting adults affected by substance use and its ripple effects.

She focuses on clear steps people can take to feel steadier day to day. Sessions often include tools from cognitive behavioral work to spot unhelpful thoughts, and client-centered techniques that follow the person’s pace. She also draws on acceptance and commitment ideas to help people decide what matters most and act on it.

Many years of work with addiction and related concerns have made her attentive to the strains on family and partners. She helps individuals process grief, anger, and the loss of control that can come with a loved one’s substance use. She also supports people dealing with sleep, eating, and intimacy-related difficulties linked to these stresses.

Her background includes long-term work with adults who have dual disorders and with people navigating life transitions. Dr. Jackson’s style is practical and compassionate; she aims to build small, manageable habits that add up to real change. She welcomes conversations in English or Portuguese for people in Florida.

How her approaches guide online therapy choices

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people clarify what matters to them and take small, values-driven steps amid difficult thoughts or urges. It can be useful when someone struggles with anxiety, cravings, or repeated unhelpful patterns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on spotting and changing the thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going, which often helps with anxiety, depression, sleep, and some addiction-related struggles. Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to how early and current relationship patterns shape trust and closeness, and can be helpful for intimacy or codependency concerns.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with the person to match methods to their goals, preferences, and day-to-day needs rather than insisting on one fixed model. Sessions can shift over time as issues evolve and new tools are needed.

Specific session formats were not listed in the original biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow quick check-ins when life is hectic. Some people prefer shorter visits for focused skill practice, while others use longer sessions for deeper processing; Dr. Jackson will discuss what fits each person’s routine and goals.
