About Demire
Demire Coffin-Williams is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor who focuses on family and parenting concerns among other relationship issues. He offers straightforward, practical help for people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, substance concerns, and problems with intimacy or communication. Sessions emphasize clear goals and usable steps that a worried parent can try between meetings.
He trained for a master’s degree in clinical counseling and holds an NY LMHC license, number NY LMHC 008305.
Background and approach
Over nine years he practiced in nonprofit programs, agencies, and hospitals before moving into personal work. That range gives him experience with short-term and longer-term challenges. Therapy blends several approaches.
He uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people accept difficult feelings while moving toward valued goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps spot and change unhelpful thinking patterns. He also draws from attachment ideas to address how close relationships affect emotions and behavior.
He has additional background in sexual orientation and relationship diversity, and mentions working with a range of intimacy and sexual concerns. He also lists focus areas such as blended family issues, caregiver stress, chronic illness, and substance use concerns. Sessions are available in English and can include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging.
International clients may be able to connect. New clients start by using the site’s matching flow to schedule according to the therapist’s availability.
Approaches that translate well to online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice and accept difficult thoughts and feelings while choosing actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with new behaviors; it often helps with anxiety, depression, and mood swings. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns affect current connections and helps people build healthier ways of relating to others.Finding the right approach is part of therapy. The therapist will work collaboratively to match techniques to each person's goals, needs, and preferences. That means trying methods, checking what helps, and adjusting the plan together so sessions stay practical and focused on change that matters to the client.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These formats make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules and to continue work between meetings. For many people, remote options increase consistency and allow work on skills in real-life contexts while keeping the same clinical approaches used in face-to-face care.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
Less about arguing with difficult thoughts, more about loosening their grip and acting on what matters to you anyway. Values and committed action carry the work, which suits conversation at a distance.
Attachment-Based Therapy
Looks at how early bonds shaped what you expect from closeness, and how that plays out now with a partner, a parent, or your own children.
Client-Centered Therapy
The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.
