Dr. Daniella Jackson , LMHC

Dr. Daniella Jackson is a licensed mental health counselor in Florida who holds a Ph.D. in Psychology. She is an LMHC, which stands for Licensed Mental Health Counselor, and she also holds a doctoral degree in psychology. She has been licensed in Florida for the past 11 years and brings more than two decades of clinical work with adolescents, families, and adults dealing with addiction and co-occurring disorders.

Across 23 years of practice, 19 of those years have been focused on direct work with adults facing addiction, anger management, and self-management challenges. Treating individuals and couples who struggle with substance and behavioral addictions has been central to her work, with experience addressing alcohol, illicit substances, medication misuse, gambling, and problematic technology use. She also supports family members affected by a loved one’s addiction, recognizing the wide-ranging impacts that can include grief, feelings of powerlessness, depression, and anxiety.

Dr. Jackson integrates cognitive-behavioral methods with humanistic and Rogerian principles and draws on positive psychology to help clients build skills, restore hope, and regain control. She welcomes people ready to address recovery, relationship strain, or personal growth and aims to form a collaborative, strengths-based therapeutic partnership. Originally from Brazil, she has lived in the United States for 30 years and is a proud American citizen who enjoys meditation, walking, and animals.

Therapeutic Approaches and Remote Care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people accept difficult thoughts and feelings while committing to actions that align with their values. It can be useful for stress, anxiety, and patterns that interfere with meaningful goals.

Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationships shape current patterns of connection and trust, and it can help with relationship challenges, intimacy-related issues, and healing from abandonment or adoption-related concerns.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps clients identify and change unhelpful thought and behavior patterns, making it effective for anxiety, depression, addiction-related behaviors, and self-management problems.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Dr. Jackson works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She adapts techniques from different models to create a tailored plan that evolves as progress is made.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can occur by video call or phone, and shorter check-ins are available through live chat or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to access consistent care around work, family, and daily responsibilities while maintaining continuity with a licensed professional.
