About Daniella

Dr. Daniella Jackson brings two decades of clinical experience to her practice and holds the Florida LMHC credential.

Background and approach

She combines a doctoral-level background in psychology with long-term work helping people navigate addiction, emotional regulation, and relationship challenges. Her practice emphasizes building practical skills alongside exploring underlying patterns that contribute to stress, anxiety, depression, and difficulties with intimacy and self-esteem.

Her style blends Internal Family Systems ideas with cognitive and humanistic strategies to help clients develop greater self-awareness and self-compassion. She has spent much of her career addressing substance and behavioral addictions and supporting families affected by a loved one’s addictive behaviors, recognizing the grief, helplessness, and anger that often accompany those situations.

Fluent in English and Portuguese, she practices in Florida and offers several remote session formats to fit different needs. Dr.

Jackson frames work collaboratively, focusing on clear goals and stepwise change while attending to emotional safety and personal values. She welcomes inquiries from people seeking help with coping, relationship concerns, mood disorders, ADHD-related struggles, and life transitions, and she supports clients in finding practical ways to regain balance and hope.

Approaches that guide online care

Dr. Jackson draws from Internal Family Systems to help clients understand the different inner parts that influence feelings and behavior; this approach can be useful for addressing inner conflict, shame, and patterns that maintain anxiety or addictive behaviors. She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which focuses on clarifying personal values and building committed action even when uncomfortable thoughts or feelings are present; ACT is often applied to stress, mood concerns, and problems with avoidance. Attachment-Based Therapy is another influence, exploring how early relational patterns shape current relationships and emotional responses, and it can help with intimacy, communication, and healing relational wounds.

Finding the right approach is treated as a collaborative process. The therapist works with each person to identify which methods fit their goals, preferences, and current challenges, and she adapts techniques over time to reflect progress and feedback.

Online sessions offer practical flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules or to maintain continuity while traveling or between other commitments. These formats support consistent work on coping skills, behavioral changes, and relational goals with licensed professionals who tailor the pace and methods to each individual's needs.
