Dr. Daniella Jackson , LMHC

Dr. Daniella Jackson is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) and holds a Ph.D. in Psychology. With two decades of clinical experience, she has focused her work on adolescents, adults, and families affected by addiction and co-occurring disorders, helping people navigate the complex emotional, relational, and practical impacts of substance use, gambling, technology reliance, and medication misuse.

Her practice centers on supporting individuals and couples who are coping with addiction as well as family members who are affected by a loved one’s struggles. She addresses the ripple effects of addiction, including grief, feelings of powerlessness, depression, anxiety, and relationship strain, and she brings sustained experience in anger management and self-regulation work. Her goal is to restore hope and help clients regain a sense of control over their lives.

Therapeutically, she integrates evidence-based and humanistic methods - drawing from cognitive-behavioral techniques, client-centered (Rogerian) principles, positive psychology, and acceptance-oriented strategies - to tailor treatment to each person’s needs. Originally from Brazil, she has lived in the United States for many years, enjoys meditation, walking, and animals, and is committed to helping others move forward with compassion and practical skills.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Dr. Jackson uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help clients clarify their values, accept difficult thoughts and feelings, and commit to actions that create a more meaningful life. ACT can be useful for anxiety, depression, and struggles with motivation or avoidance.

She also draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to explore relationship patterns formed in early life and how those patterns affect current partnerships, family dynamics, and intimacy. This approach can be helpful for people working through relationship stress, abandonment concerns, and attachment issues.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is another cornerstone of her work, focusing on identifying and shifting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and substance-related problems.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Dr. Jackson works with each person to assess needs, goals, and preferences, blending methods as appropriate so that treatment fits the individual rather than forcing a single model.

Online therapy with Dr. Jackson offers flexibility and accessibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to maintain consistency in care around work, family, and daily life, while allowing licensed professionals to deliver structured, goal-oriented support across a range of concerns.
