Daffney Tchassem
Hello, I’m Daffney a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. Taking the first step toward therapy can feel overwhelming, and finding the right therapist is an important part of the journey. My goal is to create a space where you feel seen, heard, valued, and supported from our very first conversation. As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with more than 20 years of clinical experience, I provide counseling services for individuals, couples, and families across the lifespan—from children and adolescents to adults and older adults. I believe that every person’s story is unique, which is why I use an individualized approach to therapy that is tailored to your specific needs, strengths, and goals. Drawing from evidence-based modalities such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused Therapy, Narrative Therapy, and other therapeutic approaches, I work collaboratively with clients to help them gain insight, develop coping skills, strengthen relationships, and move toward meaningful change. Throughout my career, I have supported individuals facing a wide range of challenges, including anxiety, depression, trauma, grief and loss, life transitions, relationship concerns, stress management, addiction, behavioral issues, ADHD, autism spectrum support, bipolar disorder, PTSD, perinatal mental health, anger management, OCD, eating disorders, chronic medical conditions, and more. I am passionate about meeting people where they are and helping them discover their resilience, even during life’s most difficult seasons. My approach is warm, compassionate, and nonjudgmental. I believe healing happens within a trusting therapeutic relationship where clients feel safe enough to explore challenges, celebrate progress, and embrace growth. Together, we will work toward helping you build the tools and confidence needed to navigate life's obstacles and create a more balanced, fulfilling life. Beyond my professional experience, I understand the complexities of life through my own roles as a wife, mother, sibling, and friend. These experiences allow me to bring not only clinical expertise but also genuine empathy and understanding to the counseling process. Whether you are seeking support for a specific challenge or simply looking for guidance during a difficult time, I would be honored to walk alongside you on your journey toward healing and wellness. You do not have to face life's challenges alone. When you're ready, I'm here to help.

Carla McGehee
I graduated from Dallas Baptist University May of 2014. I did my Internship at Texoma Community Center (formerly the MHMR of Grayson County) in Sherman, TX as an Intake Specialist. I became a Texas Licensed Professional Counselor 11/2017 No. 71823. I continued at Texoma Community Center for an additional four and a half years as a mental health counselor. I started at Tidemark Therapy as a counselor in May 2020. Now I am looking to transition into my own practice and am looking for clients on BetterHelp to feel empty slots. I have worked with a wide variety of clients. My counseling experience dealt with people struggling with depression, anxiety, loss, trauma, chronic pain, and emotional control. I have had success with clients that have anything from a diagnosed disorder to short-term adjustment issues. I believe that attempts at real change create losses that need to be mourned. I have helped clients to let go of old habits that have been a comfort. In the case of situational loss, I can help with reimagining life after loss, be it the death of a loved one to a loss of a job. I have helped others to redefine their future so they can move on. I have had success with those who have emotional control issues by applying a program designed to help emotional issues surrounding addiction/negative coping. Negative coping can be anything one uses to avoid fear or emotional pain. These can be behaviors and responses that can interfere with healthy functioning. I use concepts of Dialectical Behavior Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. I break down the concepts that help provide a way of talking about thinking, without which can get very abstract. I am also very aware of how spiritual beliefs can help with the counseling process. With the client’s permission I am willing to use a client’s belief system to provide support and encouragement to help navigate the counseling process. Sessions are usually 45 minutes long and go at the client’s pace. The sessions are flexible to allow time to deal with any new issues that may come up. The client is allowed to give feedback should they experience discomfort or become emotional. I do not believe in going into all the client’s sensitive experiences in order to counsel them. I strive to never probe areas that are not necessary to work on the client’s identified treatment goals. (These goals are defined collaboratively with the client and therapist’s input.) My goal is to never send a client out the door feeling emotionally torn up, but rather have them leave feeling hopeful. I believe, even if the subject matter is hard, it does not have to negatively affect one’s hope.

Find a therapist near you in Red Lick, Texas
Finding a therapist near you in Red Lick, Texas starts with matching to a licensed professional who fits your needs, schedule, and goals. Texas is home to people with diverse mental health needs across urban, suburban, and rural communities, which can make it challenging to find care. BetterHelp connects you with a licensed therapist through tailored matching, so you can begin care from home or wherever works for you.
The network includes over 30,000 licensed therapists globally, and over 4 million people have used BetterHelp to find support through online therapy. During matching, 93% of user preferences are met, which helps you connect with a therapist suited to what you are looking for. Whether you are searching for help with anxiety, trauma, affordable or insurance covered therapy, weekend or flexible scheduling, or virtual sessions, you can find a therapist and get started when you are ready.
Why work with a licensed therapist near you?
Working with a licensed therapist near you gives you access to professional mental health support from someone trained to help you understand and manage what you are going through. A licensed therapist can offer evidence-based approaches, a steady space to talk, and guidance tailored to your situation. In Texas, online therapy can make that care more accessible, since sessions happen from home or wherever you are, without the need to travel to an office. This can help if your schedule is full, if travel is difficult, or if you simply prefer a more discreet setting. You can learn more about what a therapist does on the therapist role page.
Online therapy can be especially helpful for people living across Texas, where access to in-person mental health care may vary by location.
What concerns can therapists help with?
Therapists can help with a wide range of concerns, including anxiety and stress, depression, trauma and PTSD, self-esteem and identity, people-pleasing and fear of rejection, insomnia and racing thoughts, workplace stress and burnout, substance use, parenting and co-parenting stress, grief and loss, and relationship and family challenges. Therapists on BetterHelp may draw on approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), depending on your needs and goals. You can explore support for specific concerns on pages such as generalized anxiety disorder, major depressive disorder, posttraumatic stress disorder, attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder, and eating disorders.
Please note that therapists on BetterHelp do not provide psychiatric medication management or formal diagnoses.

In-person therapy takes place at an office and may involve travel and set appointment windows.

Both formats can support meaningful progress, so the right choice often comes down to what fits your life.
