About Dr. Daniella Jackson
Dr. Daniella Jackson is a licensed mental health counselor in the state of Florida who brings deep training and long-term clinical experience to her practice. She holds a Ph.D. in Psychology, a doctoral degree that reflects advanced study in mental health, and she is credentialed as an LMHC - Licensed Mental Health Counselor, indicating formal licensure to provide psychotherapy in Florida.
Her career spans work with adolescents, their families, and adults facing addiction and co-occurring disorders for 23 years. For 19 of those years she has focused directly on adults managing addiction, anger management, and challenges with self-regulation. Treating individuals and couples affected by alcohol, illicit substances, medication misuse, gambling, and technology-related problems has been central to her clinical work, along with supporting family members who are coping with a loved one's substance or behavioral addictions.
Dr. Jackson recognizes the wide-reaching effects that addiction can create, including grief and loss, feelings of powerlessness, depression, anxiety, and other emotional impacts. She has made work with affected family members one of her professional priorities and brings compassion for the ripple effects of addictive behavior.
Her therapeutic approach integrates cognitive-behavioral methods, humanistic and Rogerian principles, and techniques from positive psychology to help clients rebuild agency and hope. Dr. Jackson invites people who are ready to regain control of their lives - whether they are personally wrestling with addiction or supporting someone who is - to engage in a collaborative process aimed at restoring balance and purpose.
Originally from Brazil, she has lived in the United States for 30 years and is a proud American citizen. Outside of clinical work she enjoys meditation and walking, is an animal lover, and considers helping others one of her greatest passions. She looks forward to the opportunity to work with new clients.

Licensed professionals can connect with clients in multiple ways so therapy can fit into busy schedules: video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or in-app messaging. That variety makes it easier to maintain continuity of care when life is hectic or when in-person visits are not convenient.
Therapists who provide remote services use established clinical methods and many clients find the format allows for consistent progress and greater accessibility. If the initial match with a therapist does not feel right, clients typically have the option to request a different therapist to find a better fit.
