About Daffney
Daffney Tchassem is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Texas with 16 years of experience. She works with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship strain, family conflict, grief, depression, addictions, and parenting concerns. Sessions focus on helping people manage everyday pressures and difficult emotions so they can get through the day and make clearer choices.
She uses a mix of approaches depending on the problem and the person. That can include Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice difficult thoughts without getting stuck, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking patterns, and attachment-informed work to look at how past relationships shape current reactions. These methods are applied in straightforward ways rather than academic language.
In a session she listens, asks direct questions, and suggests exercises people can try between meetings. She aims to make therapy practical - for example, planning short skills practice for managing anxiety or steps for repairing strained family connections. Sessions move at a pace the client can handle.
Her background includes sixteen years of clinical work in Texas and ongoing use of client-centered practices to guide treatment choices. The focus is on what helps in daily life: reducing overwhelm, improving communication, and restoring a sense of control. She asks clients to be active partners in choosing goals and tools.
People who want to start are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. Costs vary by location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without being driven by them. It supports living according to personal values even when emotions are difficult, which can help with anxiety, grief, and parenting stress.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches ways to spot unhelpful thoughts and change behaviors that keep problems going. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes through practical exercises and short behavioral experiments.
Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape current reactions. It can help people understand recurring patterns in relationship stress and make different choices in close contacts.
Deciding which approach to use is collaborative. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, try different tools, and adjust plans based on what helps. That process is part of early sessions rather than a one-time choice.
The original profile does not list specific online session formats. Please confirm available formats before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, shorten travel time, and allow brief check-ins when schedules are tight. It also lets people try skills in everyday settings and report back the next session so strategies can be refined.
