About Daniella
Dr. Daniella Jackson is a Florida-licensed mental health counselor (FL LMHC) with 20 years of experience. She works with adults on issues like addiction, anxiety, stress, relationships, depression, and family of origin concerns. She speaks English and Portuguese and draws on multiple therapy styles to address practical problems.
She has spent much of her career helping adults cope with substance and behavioral addictions and the ways those problems affect relationships. She also supports people who feel stuck by anxiety, low self-esteem, grief, sleep or eating difficulties, and the ripple effects of another person’s struggles. Parenting stress, career strain, and changes in life circumstances are common topics she addresses.
Her approach blends cognitive behavioral techniques with attachment-based ideas and client-centered listening. She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and dialectical behavior strategies where those tools fit the situation. Sessions focus on clear skills, understanding patterns from the family someone grew up in, and small steps clients can try between meetings.
Dr. Jackson emphasizes practical work in sessions. She helps clients notice habits that started in childhood and test new behaviors in current relationships. She also offers coaching-style support for people who want structure around goals such as recovery, anger management, or better communication.
Originally from Brazil, she has lived in the U.S. for three decades and brings bilingual ability to therapy. People who prefer working in English or Portuguese can say so when they complete the intake questionnaire. To begin, users follow the site process to match and schedule a first session.
How therapeutic approaches guide online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying values and taking action toward them while learning to notice painful thoughts without letting them drive behavior. It can help with anxiety, low mood, and patterns tied to family expectations. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns shape current closeness and conflict. It helps people recognize old roles from their family of origin and try different ways of relating. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets unhelpful thoughts and routines with practical exercises and small behavioral experiments to reduce anxiety, improve sleep, or change addictive behaviors.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before. Together they will try methods that fit the problem and adjust as needed based on how the work progresses.
The therapist's biography did not list specific session formats, so confirm available online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow for shorter check-ins when schedules demand, and remove travel time so people can use a break at work or home more easily. Licensed professionals often combine skill teaching, behavior experiments, and values-based planning in remote sessions to help clients change patterns rooted in family history.
