Daffney Tchassem, LCSW

Daffney Tchassem is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) in Texas with 16 years of professional experience. She helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress or anxiety and those coping with relationship strain, grief, or life changes. Her approach is respectful and compassionate, and she aims to create a space where clients can speak honestly about what matters to them.

She adapts conversation and plans to each person’s situation. Sessions focus on practical steps people can use between meetings. She listens for patterns that feed worry and helps people experiment with new ways of responding to hard moments.

Daffney uses several evidence-informed approaches to guide her work, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Attachment-Based Therapy. These methods are blended to match a client’s goals rather than follow a single rigid method. Clients often leave with clear practices to reduce tension and improve daily functioning.

She has supported people through grief and loss, addiction concerns, parenting stress, career transitions, and challenges around identity and intimacy. Daffney also works with issues such as ADHD, caregiver stress, chronic illness, and body image struggles. Her practice emphasizes steady progress and realistic skills.

If you are ready to start, she asks that you complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to her availability. The initial steps are explained when you select the Start Therapy button on the site.

How therapy approaches shape online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without getting swallowed by them. It helps people commit to actions that match their values even when stress or anxiety is present. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical strategies to shift unhelpful patterns. These tools are useful for worry, low mood, and habit change. Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to how early relationships influence current reactions and helps people try new ways of connecting and managing close relationships.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Daffney will talk with each person about goals and preferences and then recommend techniques that fit. That collaborative process makes it easier to try different strategies and keep what helps most.

Specific session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm the available options before booking. Many people find online therapy helpful because it can fit around work, reduce travel time, and make regular check-ins easier to maintain. It can also allow shorter check-ins when time is tight or let someone avoid being on camera if they prefer. Licensed professionals can adapt ACT, CBT, and attachment-based tools to work in virtual settings while focusing on skills that translate to everyday life.
