About Daffney
Daffney Tchassem is a licensed clinical social worker with 16 years of experience helping people navigate stress, anxiety, grief, and relationship struggles. She supports people dealing with depression, addictions, trauma, parenting strain, career changes, and identity concerns including LGBT issues. She meets each person with respect, sensitivity, and compassion.
Her approach is practical and conversational. She listens first, then tailors the plan to what the person needs. Sessions focus on small, usable steps to manage feelings, improve relationships, and cope with life changes. She draws on methods like cognitive behavioral techniques, acceptance work, and attachment-focused ideas to guide the process.
Clients can expect a calm, respectful space to talk through problems and build impact-focused skills. She uses client-centered methods to keep the work grounded in each person’s goals and values. When stronger emotion regulation is needed, elements of dialectical behavior therapy can help break down overwhelming moments into manageable parts.
Daffney also helps people facing caregiving stress, chronic illness, body image concerns, or the complexities of adoption and blended families. She pays attention to how past patterns shape current choices and supports people in shifting those patterns.

Approaches that fit everyday life and online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It is useful for anxiety, stress, and when life changes feel overwhelming. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current bonds and communication, and it can help with intimacy, trust, and relationship patterns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, and teaches practical skills to shift unhelpful patterns for issues like depression and anxiety.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will listen to a person’s goals and preferences and then suggest methods that fit. That decision is collaborative and may change over time as needs shift.
The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit counseling into a busy day, avoid travel time, and check in during a shorter break when needed. It also allows continuing care when life circumstances or location change, while still using the same therapeutic approaches described above.
