Dr. Daniella Jackson, LMHC

Dr. Daniella Jackson is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) based in Florida with 20 years of clinical experience. She holds a Ph.D. in Psychology and brings long-term experience addressing addiction, anger, and self-management concerns. She speaks English and Portuguese and draws on a range of practical methods in sessions.

Her style is straightforward and person-focused. She uses clear, goal-oriented conversations to help people regain a sense of control. Sessions aim to identify unhelpful patterns and build small, doable skills people can use between meetings.

Dr. Jackson often blends cognitive behavioral work with acceptance and attachment-informed ideas. That mix helps when coping with anxiety, depression, stress, relationship struggles, grief, and issues tied to addiction. She also works with concerns such as body image, sleep, parenting strain, career transitions, and compassion fatigue.

People meet her expecting practical tools and steady support. She can help when life changes feel overwhelming, or when repetitive problems keep showing up. Her approach is collaborative - she works with each person to set clear goals and steps to reach them.

Originally from Brazil, she has lived in the U.S. for three decades and finds value in meditation and walks. Outside the office she enjoys spending time with animals and staying active, and she brings that calm, steady presence into sessions.

How these approaches translate to online therapy

Dr. Jackson uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and change behaviors that keep problems active. CBT is practical and task-oriented, which often works well through video or messaging when people need clear exercises and homework.

She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people accept difficult feelings while committing to actions that match their values. ACT can be useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with chronic challenges because it emphasizes flexible responses over symptom control.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. She collaborates with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences. Sessions can shift over time as different tools become more or less helpful, and she will check in about fit during treatment.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video works well for face-to-face conversation and skill demonstrations. Phone sessions can be a good short-form check-in when people are on the go or have limited bandwidth. Live chat and messaging make it possible to exchange brief updates or work through exercises between longer appointments. These options offer flexibility so people can fit therapy into busy schedules.
