About Daniella
Dr. Daniella Jackson is a Florida-licensed mental health counselor with 20 years of clinical experience. She holds a Ph.D. in Psychology and speaks English and Portuguese.
Her work emphasizes clear goals and steady progress rather than jargon. She focuses on practical help for stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, and parenting concerns. She also supports people facing relationship strain, grief, self-esteem struggles, and life transitions.
Sessions are straightforward and centered on what a person wants to change.
Background and approach
Her background includes long-term work with adults affected by addiction and related problems. That experience shaped her interest in how addiction touches family life and the emotional fallout that follows. She understands how grief, helplessness, and anxiety can follow a loved one’s substance or behavioral problems.
Dr. Jackson blends cognitive behavioral methods with acceptance and attachment-informed ideas. She uses client-centered principles to listen first, then offers skills for emotion regulation and clearer communication.
That mix lets her tailor strategies to each person’s situation. People who choose her often want practical tools and steady support. She helps build coping plans, sets small achievable steps, and practices skills in session.
Her approach aims to restore a sense of control and hope. Outside of work she values meditation, walking, and animals. Born in Brazil, she has lived in the U.S. for three decades and brings that life experience to sessions.

How her approaches translate to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings and choose actions that match their values. It is useful for anxiety, stress, and making lasting behavior changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and practicing different behaviors; it often helps with depression, anxiety, sleep, and coping skills. Attachment-Based ideas look at how relationships and early bonds shape current patterns, which is helpful for relationship strain, intimacy issues, and parenting challenges.Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to the client’s goals, try methods that fit those goals, and adjust based on what works. This means therapy evolves over time rather than sticking rigidly to one method.
The online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for in-depth sessions and skill practice. Phone sessions can fit a busy day or require less bandwidth. Live chat and text messaging are handy for shorter check-ins, coaching moments, or when typing feels easier than speaking. Overall, online work offers flexibility so therapy can fit into daily life while using the same therapeutic tools as in-person care.
