Dr. Daniella Jackson

(PhD, LMHC)

About Me

I have been a licensed mental health counselor in the state of Florida for the past 5 years, and I currently hold a Ph.D. in Psychology. I have worked with adolescents, their families, and adults with addiction and dual disorders for the past 17 years. Twelve out these 17 years of experience, I have worked directly with adults with addiction, anger management, and self-management problems. Helping individuals and couples who are struggling with addiction problems (i.e., alcohol, illicit substances, medication abuse, gambling, technology) has been the center of my work. I have also worked with the family members of individuals who were dealing with different addictions. I understand that the impact of a loved one's addiction problems can be very overwhelming, and at times, too much to handle. For this reason, helping the family members of individuals with addiction problems has also been one of my greatest passions. The impact that stems from various types of addiction includes, but are not limited to grief and loss, feelings of powerless, depression, anxiety, and much more.

My approach includes cognitive-behavioral, humanistic, Rogerian, and positive psychology techniques. If you are ready to regain control over your life, whether you are directly suffering from addiction problems or you have been impacted by someone else's addiction, I would like to assist you in instilling hope back into your life.

On a more personal note, I am originally from Brazil; however, I have been in the US for the past 24 years. I am currently a proud American citizen. I enjoy meditation and walking, and I love animals. Additionally, helping others has been among my greatest passions. So, I absolutely look forward to working with you.

Dr. Jackson is very caring, she asks questions based on things that are going on in your life and responds in a way that is reflective and insightful. When talking to her I feel as if she really does care and wants the best for her clients.

Written by M.E. on Nov 01, 2018 after counseling with Daniella for 2 months on issues concerning depression, stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship issues, trauma and abuse, grief, intimacy-related issues, self esteem, anger management, and career difficulties

Dr. Jackson is warm and kind. I appreciate her sense of humor and how very organized she is about scheduling. I am so grateful that her gentle guidance has already helped me to begin dismantling lifelong habits that have held me back in relationships.

Written by C.A. on Oct 16, 2018 after counseling with Daniella for 3 weeks on issues concerning depression, stress, anxiety, relationship issues, and self esteem

Dr. Jackson is absolutely amazing within the hour we talk weekly! We have just finished our third session and I almost already feel like most of my issues are being solved. She continually offers encouragement, pointing out small steps I may be taking to better my situation. She also phrases suggestions in a way that I can best pick out what might help me, not simply telling me what to do. I have already recommended this site for my friends who could benefit from having someone to tell their problems to and receive help.

She is super insightful and is constantly helping me understand and realize my true motivations for things I do. She tells me the truth even if it's not so easy to hear. She often points out something that makes me think, "Wow, she is so right! I didn't even think of that before!"

Written by J.O. on May 15, 2018 after counseling with Daniella for 3 weeks on issues concerning relationship, grief, intimacy-related, and self esteem

Dr. Jackson has been a God sent miracle. I started BetterHelp with another counselor that was just not available. Dr. Jackson's voice is soothing and I love the way she actively listens and asks the right questions for me to ponder. She responds to my written questions quickly. Her schedule is convenient. She's amazingly awesome!

Written by B.R. on Dec 12, 2017 after counseling with Daniella for 2 weeks on issues concerning depression, stress, anxiety, relationship, family, self esteem, and anger

Dr. Jackson seems to always hit the nail on the head. With just the short amount of time I’ve known her I’ve made tremendous strides in myself and my relationship and I just can’t believe how perfect the match is between me and her. She always knows what to say and how to get me back grounded when I am freaking out.

Written by P.A. on Aug 29, 2017 after counseling with Daniella for 2 weeks on issues concerning depression, stress, anxiety, family, trauma and abuse, grief, sleeping, self esteem, and career

Dr. Jackson has been helping so much. She really takes her time to talk to you, evaluate your situation, and she listens! She has great listening skills. And she provides you with lots of tools in between the sessions so you can be improving yourself and work on your issues. She recommended me very interesting books to help me cope with the issue I am having and she gives me very interesting "homework" that helps me to tackle my psychological problems and face them. I highly recommend Dr. Jackson to anyone that needs the help of a Mental Health Professional.
