About Daniella
Dr. Daniella Jackson is a Florida-licensed mental health counselor with two decades of experience. She holds the LMHC credential and brings a long career helping people navigate addiction, mood struggles, and relationship tensions.
She speaks English and Portuguese and combines practical skills with a calm, direct approach. Her path began with extensive work in addiction and co-occurring conditions, focusing on adults facing substance and behavioral dependencies. Over the years she also supported people dealing with grief, anxiety, depression, and the fallout that addiction can bring to close relationships.
Background and approach
This background shapes how she listens and responds in sessions. Clinically she uses Narrative therapy alongside cognitive behavioral tools and acceptance-based ideas. Sessions often involve examining the stories people tell about themselves, identifying unhelpful patterns, and trying new behaviors in day-to-day life.
The style leans toward collaborative and straightforward problem-solving rather than abstract theory. Dr. Jackson pays attention to life transitions and practical challenges like sleep, eating, parenting stress, career strain, and caregiver burden.
She also addresses concerns such as attachment issues, body image, and managing intense emotions. The work typically blends short-term skills with longer conversation about personal meaning and values. Outside of practice she has roots in Brazil and enjoys meditation, walking, and animals.
Prospective clients can expect a warm but task-focused presence aimed at clearing space for change.

Online session options
How Narrative, ACT, and Attachment work online
Dr. Jackson often draws on Narrative therapy to help people reframe the stories they tell about themselves. This approach looks at life chapters and helps identify moments where different choices are possible. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, is used to clarify values and build small actions that align with what matters most rather than getting stuck avoiding difficult feelings. Attachment-based ideas guide conversations about how past relationships shape current patterns and help people experiment with new ways of relating.Finding the right approach is a joint process. The therapist will listen to your history, goals, and preferences and suggest methods that seem likely to fit. Together you can try different techniques and adjust based on what helps you make steady progress toward your aims.
Online therapy offers flexibility that many people need. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when a deeper exchange is helpful. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging let someone stay connected between sessions, share quick updates, and practice skills in daily life. These options make it easier to schedule work around school, caregiving, or job hours while keeping therapy consistent.
