About Daniella
Dr. Daniella Jackson is a licensed mental health counselor in Florida with 20 years of clinical experience. She holds a Ph.D. in Psychology and communicates in English and Portuguese.

Sessions often include problem-solving, skills practice, and attention to life values and relationships.
Background and approach
She adapts techniques to a person’s daily life so changes feel manageable. Her background includes long-term work with adults affected by addiction as well as supporting people impacted by a loved one’s substance use. That experience shaped her attention to grief, loss, and the range of emotions family members face when addiction is present.
Her approach blends cognitive-behavioral skills, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, attachment-focused ideas, client-centered support, and techniques from dialectical behavior therapy. Expect a mix of skills training, values-focused work, and empathetic listening. Clients describe sessions that balance practical steps with personal reflection.
Dr. Jackson encourages steady progress and helps set realistic, short-term goals alongside broader life aims. She welcomes conversations about relationship stress, parenting strain, career transitions, and mood concerns such as depression or bipolar-related difficulties.
Her work also covers issues like body image, ADHD, trauma, grief, caregiver stress, and communication problems. Dr. Jackson combines academic training with long-term clinical practice.
Outside of work she enjoys meditation, walking, and time with animals.
Approaches that fit online work and everyday life
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on identifying personal values and taking small meaningful steps toward them while learning to accept difficult thoughts and feelings. It can help when anxiety or stress gets in the way of living the life a person wants. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns. CBT is useful for anxiety, mood concerns, and behavior changes tied to addictions or sleep problems.The therapist will work together with each person to find the best fit among these approaches. She views the choice of method as a collaborative decision based on goals, preferences, and what feels helpful in early sessions. Plans are adjusted over time so techniques match real-life needs and progress is steady.
Online therapy offers flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can fit a break at work or require less bandwidth, and live chat or text messaging can be used for shorter check-ins or when writing feels easier. These options make it simpler to keep therapy consistent while using approaches like ACT and CBT in day-to-day situations.
