About Daniella
Dr. Daniella Jackson is a Florida LMHC with 20 years of clinical experience. She has worked extensively with addiction, anger management, and adults facing mood and stress problems. She speaks English and Portuguese and has long experience supporting people dealing with grief, relationship strain, parenting pressure, and the emotional fallout of a loved one’s substance or behavioral addiction.
She takes a practical, talk-and-skill approach in sessions. That can include looking at thoughts and behaviors, improving emotional awareness, and building skills for handling intense feelings. She also draws on attachment-focused ideas to help people understand how past relationships shape current patterns. Sessions often look at what is happening now, how it connects to earlier experiences, and small changes that reduce stress day to day.
Many years of work with addictions mean she is familiar with gambling, alcohol, substance, medication, and technology-related problems. She has helped people who carry guilt, shame, or anger after a loved one’s addiction. That includes talking through grief, boundary setting, and practical coping strategies for family members affected by addiction.
Her clinical methods include cognitive behavioral techniques, acceptance and commitment ideas, client-centered listening, and dialectical strategies for emotion regulation. Those tools are used flexibly to address depression, anxiety, sleep and eating concerns, ADHD challenges, and intimacy-related difficulties.
Outside clinical work she practices meditation, walks regularly, and enjoys time with animals. She brings a steady, experienced approach to sessions and helps people sort through parenting stress, relationship conflict, career strain, and life transitions.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice and accept difficult thoughts while taking action toward meaningful goals. It can help with anxiety, depression, and the distress that follows a loved one’s addiction. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thought and behavior patterns and practicing alternatives. That approach is often useful for stress, sleep problems, low mood, and managing cravings.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will review needs, goals, and preferences together and adjust methods as work progresses. That means sessions can shift between skills practice, reflective conversation, and behavior-focused homework depending on what is most useful for the client.
Please confirm current session formats before booking because this profile does not list specific options. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, reduce travel time, and let people attend from different locations. Licensed professionals routinely use these practical benefits to help clients manage parenting stress, relationship conflict, recovery from addiction, and coping with life changes.
