About Daffney
Daffney Tchassem is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Texas with 16 years of professional experience. She works with adults who face stress, anxiety, relationship and family struggles, grief and loss, and anger. She also supports people dealing with depression, addictions, intimacy and parenting concerns, career issues, ADHD, and related challenges.
Her approach is conversational and practical. Sessions focus on clear goals and concrete steps. Daffney adapts the pace and topics to what the person needs in the moment rather than following a fixed script.
She draws on several evidence-informed methods. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and try small behavior changes. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy supports identifying personal values and taking action that aligns with them. Dialectical Behavior Therapy and Attachment-Based ideas inform skills for emotional regulation and relationship work.
In sessions she listens for patterns that keep problems repeating. Then she and the client try manageable experiments to test new ways of responding. Work may include skill practice, values clarification, communication exercises, or pacing strategies for stress and anger.
Daffney aims to reduce the things that interrupt daily life - persistent worry, explosive reactions, or stuck grief - by teaching tools people can use outside of sessions. The focus is on steady progress rather than quick fixes. If you want to start, the usual next step is to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial session.
How sessions work
How Daffney uses therapy approaches online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps you name what matters and take small steps toward those values. It is useful when anger or avoidance keeps you from the life you want. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep reactions strong and teaches concrete techniques to change them. That approach helps with worry, impulsive responses, and low mood.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Daffney will review your concerns, goals, and preferences and recommend which methods to try first. The choice is collaborative and may shift as new issues emerge or as specific skills are practiced.
The main practical benefit of meeting with a therapist online is convenience and fitting sessions into everyday life. Online work can make it easier to keep regular appointments around job or family demands, allow a shorter check-in when needed, and support doing in-the-moment skill practice between meetings. The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm available options before booking to know how sessions will be delivered.
