About Daffney
Daffney Tchassem is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Texas with 16 years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, grief and loss, depression, addictions, and related issues. Sessions are conducted in English.
Her approach centers on straightforward conversation and practical skills. She uses methods from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Attachment-Based Therapy to help people notice unhelpful patterns and try new ways of responding. She also draws on client-centered and Dialectical Behavior Therapy ideas when helpful.
In a typical session she listens to what is most pressing, suggests techniques to manage intense feelings, and practices small behavioral steps clients can take between meetings. She talks through relationship patterns and communication habits that often make problems worse. For grief and loss the focus is on remembering what matters while finding manageable ways to keep going.
She also addresses work-related stress, parenting strain, issues around intimacy and self-esteem, and struggles linked to ADHD and caregiving. Daffney pays attention to attachment and abandonment themes when they show up in a person's history.
People who choose her can expect clear explanations of the methods used and concrete tasks to try outside sessions. To start, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session.
How therapeutic approaches work in online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing unhelpful thoughts and choosing actions that reflect your values. It can help when fear or anxiety gets in the way of everyday activities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, then practices new responses to reduce anxiety and avoidance. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how past relationship patterns shape current fears and connection needs, which can be useful for relationship or intimacy concerns.Finding the right approach is part of therapy. The therapist will work together with the client to identify goals and decide which methods fit best. Sessions can include brief skills practice, structured exercises, or open conversation depending on what feels most useful.

Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life by reducing travel time and allowing shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people try techniques from their everyday setting and practice new behaviors between sessions.
