She also uses client-centered listening to make space for each person's concerns.
The goal is clearer thinking, better emotion management, and stronger relationships. Daffney practices in Texas and works in English. Her approach blends skill-building with a compassionate attitude so clients leave with concrete ways to cope and move forward.

Online support
Therapeutic approaches and online care
Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape current connections and helps people change patterns that cause pain. It can be useful for intimacy problems, attachment issues, and relationship distress. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them and then commit to actions that match their values. ACT is often used for anxiety, stress, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce symptoms like depression and anxiety.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Daffney will collaborate with each person to figure out which methods fit their goals and preferences. She combines approaches when helpful and adjusts plans as progress is made so therapy stays practical and relevant.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexible access. Video works well for face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can fit into a work break or suit people with limited bandwidth. Live chat and text messaging can be used for quick check-ins, brief coaching, or when typing feels easier than talking. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around busy schedules and life demands.
