About Daffney

Daffney Tchassem is a Texas-licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) with 16 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and a wide range of life transitions.

Background and approach

She works with clients facing relationship and family challenges, intimacy and parenting concerns, addictions, compassion fatigue, and ADHD among other focus areas. Her background includes addressing attachment issues, blended family dynamics, caregiver stress, chronic illness and pain, and identity-related concerns such as LGBT issues.

Her practice emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and a collaborative stance. Daffney tailors conversations and treatment plans to each person's circumstances, drawing from evidence-based methods such as acceptance and commitment therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, attachment-based work, and client-centered approaches.

She aims to create practical strategies for coping with career pressures, self-esteem struggles, anger, and commitment challenges while also supporting deeper processing around trauma, abandonment, and adoption-related concerns. Located in Texas, she offers a compassionate, person-focused style that balances short-term skill building with exploration of underlying patterns.

Daffney encourages clients to recognize their strengths and take steps toward meaningful change while honoring the courage it takes to begin therapy.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Access

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify their values and build psychological flexibility by learning to accept difficult thoughts and focus on committed action; it can be useful for anxiety, stress, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns to reduce symptoms of depression, anxiety, and anger while teaching practical coping skills. Attachment-Based Therapy explores relational patterns and early attachment experiences to improve closeness, trust, and emotional regulation in relationships and family dynamics.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic work and will be collaborative. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and responses to different techniques and adjust the plan as progress and needs evolve, blending short-term skills with deeper relational or trauma-informed work when appropriate.

Online therapy with this clinician is available via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for clients with busy schedules or mobility constraints. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity of care, practice skills between sessions, and access support from wherever the client is located within the therapist's service area.
