About Daphney

Dr. Daphney Rene brings three decades of clinical experience to her practice. She is a licensed clinical social worker with credentials as LCSW and LICSW.

She focuses on helping people facing grief, parenting struggles, anger, depression, and attention concerns. Dr. Rene speaks plainly and aims to make the first step feel manageable for a worried parent.

Her approach begins by listening to each person's story and identifying strengths already in place.

Background and approach

She treats clients as the expert on their own life and works together with them to set practical goals. Sessions emphasize straightforward strategies that can be used between meetings to reduce distress and improve daily functioning. Dr.

Rene draws on several well-established approaches to guide her work. She uses techniques that help people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck on them, and she teaches concrete skills for changing unhelpful behavior patterns. She also centers the conversation on the client's concerns and priorities rather than a fixed agenda.

Clients who prefer a calm, steady clinician often find this style useful. Her long experience includes supporting people through major life changes, long-term mood concerns, and caregiving stress. She adapts interventions to fit what a person can realistically try between sessions.

Practical matters are discussed up front so sessions focus on problem solving and progress. People who want clear tools, steady support, and a collaborative clinician may find this approach a good match.

Online support

Approaches that translate well to online therapy

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building a respectful relationship. It helps people feel heard and shapes therapy around their priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, teaches practical skills to change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and can help with depression, anger, and attention challenges.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work and will be decided together. The therapist will discuss goals, try different strategies, and adjust based on what helps most. That collaborative process aims to match methods to the client's needs and preferences.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules. Video calls work well for in-depth conversations and skills practice. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat or text-based messaging can be useful for brief check-ins, progress updates, or when someone prefers written communication. These formats make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy day and keep momentum between sessions.
