About Daphney
Dr. Daphney Rene is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) practicing in New Jersey. She brings 30 years of professional experience and focuses on grief, parenting concerns, anger, depression, and ADHD. She speaks English and works with adults seeking practical ways to manage these issues.
Her approach starts with listening to each person's history and priorities. She treats the client as the expert on their life and looks for strengths to build on. Sessions focus on clear steps people can try between meetings, not only talk about problems.
Dr. Rene uses techniques drawn from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Client-Centered Therapy, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). She picks tools that match a person's goals, whether that means tracking thought patterns, practicing new behaviors, or learning skills for handling strong emotions.
In practical work with parenting and anger, she helps people notice unhelpful thinking and change reactive habits. For grief and depression, she helps identify small actions that reduce isolation and increase daily functioning. For ADHD-related concerns she focuses on structure, routines, and realistic problem solving.
Her style is straightforward and task-oriented. People can expect clear goals, concrete homework, and ongoing review of what works. To begin, readers are asked to use the site's process to match and schedule a first session.
How CBT and ACT translate to online sessions
Dr. Rene commonly draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy in her work. CBT focuses on noticing patterns of thought and behavior, then testing small changes to see what helps. This approach can be useful for depression, anger, and parenting challenges by breaking problems into concrete steps. ACT emphasizes noticing difficult feelings and committing to value-driven action, which can help with grief, stress, and chronic concerns.Deciding which approach to use is part of the therapy process. She will work with each person to choose methods that fit their goals, preferences, and daily life. That collaboration means trying techniques, reviewing what worked, and adjusting the plan over time.

They also let people practice skills in the settings where problems happen and then discuss what did or did not work at the next meeting.
