Daffney Tchassem, LCSW

Daffney Tchassem is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Texas with 16 years of clinical experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief, depression, and addictions. She also supports concerns like codependency, parenting strain, trauma and abuse, and challenges around intimacy and self-esteem.

Daffney keeps sessions practical and conversational. She listens for patterns that keep someone stuck - for example people-pleasing, difficulty saying no, or losing a sense of self in relationships. Then she uses therapy methods that focus on thoughts, feelings, and everyday habits so clients can try different ways of handling hard moments.

Her approach draws on several evidence-informed methods, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Attachment-Based Therapy, and Client-Centered Therapy. These tools are used to help with emotion regulation, boundary setting, and shifting unhelpful thinking. Sessions include talk, practical exercises, and skill practice between meetings when helpful.

People who come to Daffney often want clearer boundaries, relief from anxiety, or help rebuilding direction after loss or life change. She works with issues tied to family conflict, caregiving stress, addiction, and identity concerns including LGBT topics. Sessions are offered in English, and she practices from Texas.

To begin, visitors complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial session. The first meeting focuses on what matters most now and on small, doable steps forward.
