About Daniella

Dr. Daniella Jackson is a licensed mental health counselor in Florida with 20 years of experience. She focuses on family and parenting concerns alongside a broad range of issues such as addiction, anxiety, depression, and relationship challenges.

She speaks English and Portuguese and brings practical, steady support to people feeling overwhelmed by life changes or by a loved one’s struggles. Her work has centered on helping adults facing addiction and the family members affected by it.

Background and approach

She draws on two decades of direct experience with substance use, gambling, technology-related problems, and co-occurring issues like anger and self-management. She understands how grief, helplessness, and stress can follow when someone close is struggling. In sessions she uses clear, evidence-informed methods.

Cognitive behavioral techniques help people spot patterns and try new actions. Client-centered methods create a respectful, nonjudgmental space for people to talk about hard things. Dr.

Jackson also incorporates elements from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-Based ideas when helpful. That means she helps people notice what matters to them and improves how they connect with others. She adapts tools to fit each person’s situation and goals.

Outside of work she draws on her life experience as someone who emigrated from Brazil and now lives in Florida. She enjoys meditation, walking, and animals. Her style is practical and empathetic; she aims to restore hope and help families find clearer ways forward.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Dr. Jackson often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy in her work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety or depression. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how relationships shape feelings and patterns, and it can help improve connection and communication within families.

She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy ideas when helpful, which emphasizes noticing difficult thoughts and choosing actions that match personal values. Deciding which approaches to use is collaborative; she works with each person to match methods to their goals and life situation rather than offering a one-size-fits-all plan.

Online therapy allows similar work by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options offer flexibility for busy families and people who need different ways to connect. Video or phone can recreate a face-to-face conversation, while live chat and messaging can be useful for brief check-ins, coaching, or support between longer sessions. The variety helps people get consistent care in the way that fits their schedule and comfort.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

Less about arguing with difficult thoughts, more about loosening their grip and acting on what matters to you anyway. Values and committed action carry the work, which suits conversation at a distance.

Attachment-Based Therapy

Looks at how early bonds shaped what you expect from closeness, and how that plays out now with a partner, a parent, or your own children.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.
