About Daphney
Dr. Daphney Rene, LCSW, LICSW, is licensed in New York and Alabama and has 30 years of clinical experience. She works with grief, parenting concerns, anger, depression, and ADHD. Her approach uses methods the client can learn and practice in daily life.
Dr. Rene frames clients as the experts on their own stories and builds on existing strengths. She uses practical strategies drawn from cognitive behavioral approaches and acceptance-based work. Conversations focus on clear goals and small steps that fit into a person’s routine.
Her background spans long-term clinical practice across outpatient and community settings. That experience informs how she structures sessions and manages common challenges like mood and anger. She also brings clinical perspective to issues related to adoption and foster care, attachment, and caregiver stress.
She uses a mix of client-centered listening and skills training to address problems such as body image, chronic illness, and communication difficulties. When ADHD or depressive symptoms are present, sessions include tools for organizing, planning, and managing strong emotions. DBT-informed strategies appear where emotion regulation and distress tolerance are needed.
Sessions emphasize clear steps, homework when useful, and regular review of progress. Dr. Rene encourages clients to test small changes between sessions and report back on what worked. The overall aim is improved daily functioning and clearer coping options for recurring problems.

How her therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on helping people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck. It combines values clarification with practical actions that fit a person’s life and is often used for mood, grief, and chronic stress. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, targets unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and teaches concrete skills for managing depression, anxiety, and anger.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss options and select methods based on the client's goals, needs, and preferences. This collaborative process can change over time as goals shift or new challenges appear.
Confirm the current online session formats before booking because the biography does not list specific options. Online sessions can help fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and make it easier to continue care across life changes. Licensed professionals can adapt ACT and CBT exercises to remote sessions, including behavioral experiments, thought records, and values-based action planning. Ask about session length and format when scheduling to match therapy to daily routines.
