Dr. Daphney Rene, LCSW, LICSW

Dr. Daphney Rene is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with credentials as LCSW and LICSW and 30 years of professional experience. She practices in New Jersey and has worked across grief, parenting concerns, anger, depression, and ADHD. Her work focuses on practical ways to manage strong feelings and everyday stresses.

She treats anger as one of several life challenges people bring. Sessions address what happens before, during, and after an angry episode. She helps people notice triggers, try new responses, and track what works over time. Conversations are straightforward and goal-oriented rather than vague or theoretical.

Daphney uses approaches that include Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and Client-Centered Therapy. Those methods are used to help shift unhelpful thoughts, build moment-to-moment coping skills, and clarify values that matter to the client. She blends these approaches to fit the problem being worked on rather than sticking to a single method.

People often come wanting relief from snapping at loved ones, ongoing resentment, or frustration that affects work. She also addresses related concerns such as grief, parenting stress, attachment issues, chronic illness, or body image struggles. The work can include skill practice, behavior experiments, and reflecting on patterns that keep problems going.

Practical steps are emphasized. Clients complete a brief matching questionnaire to begin and then schedule a first session. Cost varies with location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.
