About Daffney

Daffney Tchassem is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Texas with 16 years of professional experience. She works with people managing stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, grief and loss, depression, and addiction-related struggles. Her practice also addresses intimacy issues, parenting strains, anger, low self-esteem, career stress, ADHD, and compassion fatigue.

She uses clear, practical conversation to help clients sort immediate problems. Sessions focus on what is happening now and on small changes that make daily life easier. She draws from cognitive behavioral work to identify patterns of thought and behavior that keep problems active.

Attachment-based ideas guide how she looks at relationship patterns and closeness concerns. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice difficult feelings without getting ruled by them and to make choices based on their values. Dialectical behavior tools are used when stronger emotion regulation skills are needed.

Her approach is client-centered in that she listens to what people say matters most and adjusts the session accordingly. She sets straightforward goals and works step-by-step toward them. Practical strategies and short skills practice are common parts of sessions.

She works in English and is not set up to accept international clients. Cost varies by location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time. To begin, a prospective client completes a short matching questionnaire and schedules a first session through the online options button.

BHow sessions work

Therapeutic approaches and how online sessions can help

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without getting driven by them, and on choosing actions that match a person’s values. It is useful for anxiety, stress, and life changes where avoidance has become a pattern.

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early and current relationship patterns affect trust, closeness, and conflict. It helps people who notice repeating relationship problems or difficulty with intimacy to recognize those patterns and try different ways of relating.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a practical method for identifying unhelpful thinking and testing new behaviors. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and coping with daily stressors.

Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. Daffney will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and choose approaches together. The choice of techniques can shift as needs change over time.

Confirm the exact session formats and scheduling options before booking, since formats are not listed in the biography. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when that helps, and reduce travel time. These practical benefits help people keep therapy consistent while working on change.
