About Daniella
Dr. Daniella Jackson is a Florida LMHC with 20 years of clinical experience. She holds a Ph.D. in Psychology and has concentrated much of her work on addiction, anger management, and self-management issues. She speaks English and Portuguese and practices in Florida.
Dr. Jackson spent many years supporting adults who struggle with substance use, gambling, technology dependence, and medication misuse. She has also worked with people affected by a loved one’s addiction, helping them sort grief, anxiety, and feelings of powerlessness. Her background includes work with adults across a wide range of concerns from mood disorders to relationship and intimacy-related issues.
Her style blends cognitive behavioral methods with client-centered and attachment-informed ideas. She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy tools when they fit the problem. Sessions are focused and practical, with steps people can try between meetings.
Dr. Jackson emphasizes learning clear strategies for managing urges, shifting unhelpful thinking, and improving communication. She also helps people reckon with loyalty conflicts and changes that come with blended family situations. The work is aimed at steady, manageable progress rather than quick fixes.
Originally from Brazil, she has lived in the U.S. for three decades. Outside of work she practices meditation, walks regularly, and enjoys spending time with animals. To begin, clients use the site matching process to schedule a first session.
Therapeutic approaches she uses and working online
Dr. Jackson uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. ACT focuses on values and gradual action even when things feel hard, which can help with anxiety, addiction, and coping with life changes.She also draws on Attachment-Based Therapy ideas to look at how early and current relationship patterns affect trust and closeness. This can be useful for intimacy-related issues, communication problems, and loyalty conflicts that arise in blended families.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. She discusses goals and preferences with each person and then picks tools that fit those needs. That collaboration helps decide whether ACT, CBT techniques, DBT skills, or attachment-informed exercises will be most helpful.
Confirm which online session formats are available before booking because the profile does not list specific options. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - for example shorter check-ins around work breaks or sessions that avoid travel time. It also allows consistent appointments during major life changes and when coordinating across schedules in blended households.
