Dr. Daniella Jackson, LMHC

Dr. Daniella Jackson is a licensed mental health counselor practicing in Florida. She is an LMHC with 20 years of clinical experience and a long history working with addiction-related concerns. She speaks English and Portuguese and draws on decades of hands-on work with adults affected by substance use and related challenges.

Her background includes many years helping people who struggle with alcohol, illicit substances, medication misuse, gambling, and problematic technology use. She has also supported family members coping with the effects of a loved one’s addiction, including grief, anxiety, and feelings of powerlessness. Much of her work has focused on practical skills for self-management and anger control.

In sessions she uses a mix of cognitive-behavioral techniques, client-centered (Rogerian) approaches, and elements from attachment and acceptance-oriented work. She blends straightforward skill teaching with space for people to talk through what matters most to them. The goal is to restore a sense of agency and hope, one step at a time.

She understands how addiction can ripple through relationships and daily life. Her style is collaborative and down-to-earth, aimed at helping people set realistic goals and build useful habits. Outside of work she enjoys meditation, walking, and spending time with animals.

How her approaches translate to online work

Dr. Jackson commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her practice. ACT focuses on clarifying values and taking committed action even when uncomfortable thoughts appear, which can help with addiction triggers and life changes. CBT teaches practical skills to spot unhelpful thoughts and change behaviors, useful for cravings, anxiety, and sleep or eating problems.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. She will work together with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences. That collaborative conversation helps tailor sessions so skills and strategies feel relevant and doable.

Confirm the specific online session options before booking, as formats are set by the practice. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into everyday life because sessions can be attended from different locations, reduce commuting time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Licensed professionals can still teach behavioral exercises, guide exposure work, and coach practical coping strategies in remote sessions, helping people practice change between appointments.
