About Dr. Daniella Jackson

I have been a licensed mental health counselor in the state of Florida for the past 11 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 23 years. Nineteen out these 23 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 30 years. I am currently a proud American citizen. I enjoy meditation and walking, and I absolutely love animals. Additionally, helping others has been among my greatest passions. So, I really look forward to working with you.

“Dr Jackson is a great therapist she has helped me to establish mindfulness which keeps me centered and less stressed and overwhelmed Ty Dr J”

“Dr. Jackson is a considerate, helpful, thought provoking therapist who has helped me realize quite a few things about myself and understand several mechanisms I can use on a daily basis to help! I highly recommend her!”

“I truly can’t say enough amazing things about my Dr. Jackson. She is incredibly patient, understanding, and genuinely cares. I always feel heard, supported, and never judged. She creates such a safe space where I can open up freely, and that has made such a positive impact on my life. I’m so grateful to have found her.”

“Dr Jackson has been an incredible therapist; with the right balance of compassion, humor, guidance, clarity, encouragement, etc. I wish I had sought therapy years ago. But Dr Jackson has also helped to have “no regrets”, to enjoy today, to live my life to the fullest. At the end of every session she reminds me that I also “deserve to be happy”. It sounds simple, but it’s something I need to hear as I recover from decades of domestic abuse and sexual violence. If you read this and wonder if therapy is worth your time, money and effort… the answer is YES. We all need therapy because we all need to heal from something. ❤️”
