Dr. Daniella Jackson , LMHC

Dr. Daniella Jackson is a licensed mental health counselor in Florida who also holds a Ph.D. in Psychology, a doctoral degree that reflects advanced training in psychological assessment and treatment. She has spent decades working with adolescents, their families, and adults facing addiction and co-occurring disorders, building extensive experience in both individual and family care.

Over much of her career she has focused on adults coping with addiction, anger management, and difficulties with self-regulation, including work with alcohol, illicit substances, medication misuse, gambling, and technology-related problems. Nineteen of the twenty-three years she describes have involved direct work with adults struggling with these issues, and supporting partners and family members affected by addiction has been a central professional interest. She recognizes the wide-ranging impacts that addiction can have on loved ones - from grief and loss to feelings of powerlessness, depression, and anxiety - and brings that understanding into family-focused interventions.

Her clinical work integrates cognitive-behavioral techniques, humanistic and Rogerian principles, and ideas from positive psychology to help people build practical skills and restore a sense of hope and agency. Originally from Brazil, she has lived in the United States for thirty years and is a U.S. citizen. Outside of practice she enjoys meditation, walking, and time with animals, and she remains committed to helping others move toward healthier, more fulfilling lives.

Evidence-Informed Approaches and Online Care

Dr. Daniella Jackson integrates several well-established therapeutic approaches into her online work to address a range of concerns. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, while promoting actions that align with personal values - this can be useful for stress, anxiety, and habit-related struggles. Attachment-Based Therapy explores patterns in close relationships and how early bonds shape current connections, which can help with intimacy, family dynamics, and attachment issues. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors through practical strategies, often used for depression, anxiety, and coping with addiction.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Dr. Jackson works collaboratively to tailor methods to each person’s needs, goals, and preferences. She will discuss options and adjust the plan as treatment progresses to support meaningful change.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for varying schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to connect from home or other convenient locations, support consistent attendance, and allow therapy to fit into busy lives while preserving the collaborative, skills-based focus of her practice.
