Dr. Daniella Jackson , LMHC

Dr. Daniella Jackson is a Florida-licensed mental health counselor who also holds a Ph.D. in Psychology. She has spent more than two decades working with adolescents, families, and adults affected by addiction and co-occurring disorders, and for much of her career she has focused on adults struggling with addiction, anger management, and self-regulation challenges. Her clinical work centers on supporting individuals and couples facing substance and behavioral addictions - including alcohol, illicit substances, medication misuse, gambling, and technology-related problems - while also offering support to family members coping with the ripple effects of a loved one’s addiction.

Dr. Jackson understands that addiction often brings grief, feelings of powerlessness, anxiety, and depression, and she applies a blend of cognitive-behavioral strategies, humanistic and Rogerian principles, and positive psychology techniques to help clients rebuild hope and regain control. She has long been committed to working with families affected by addiction, recognizing that their needs and healing are central to lasting change.

Originally from Brazil, Dr. Jackson has lived in the United States for three decades and is a proud American citizen. Outside of her professional life she enjoys meditation, walking, and time with animals, and she remains deeply motivated by a passion for helping others and supporting meaningful recovery and growth.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care with Dr. Jackson

Dr. Jackson integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Attachment-Based Therapy into her practice. CBT helps clients identify and shift unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors, making it useful for anxiety, depression, and addiction-related habits. Attachment-Based Therapy explores relationship patterns formed in early life and how they influence current relationships, which can be especially helpful for intimacy issues, family dynamics, and healing after trauma.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Dr. Jackson works with clients to assess needs, goals, and personal preferences, adapting methods over time so the therapy fits the individual rather than forcing a single model.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - clients can meet by video call, take sessions by phone, or use live chat and text-based messaging when that better matches their schedule or comfort level. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, attend sessions during life transitions, and engage in ongoing work with a licensed professional from a familiar setting.
