About Demire
Demire Coffin-Williams is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in New York. He focuses on helping people who struggle with anxiety, depression, relationship problems, and issues around identity and intimacy. His style is direct and practical, aimed at helping clients make changes that fit their lives.
He uses clear, evidence-based methods like cognitive behavioral techniques and acceptance-based strategies to help people manage worry and negative thoughts. Attachment ideas guide his work with relationship patterns and emotional connection.
Background and approach
He also draws on client-centered practices to keep sessions focused on each person’s goals. Demire brings nine years of clinical experience across nonprofit, agency, and hospital settings. That background shapes how he balances practical skills with attention to life context and recovery.
He also completed graduate training in clinical counseling and added a specialty in sexual orientation. In sessions he often teaches coping skills, communication strategies, and ways to challenge unhelpful thinking. He supports people working through grief, trauma, substance concerns, and identity questions as part of broader goals.
He can talk about intimacy and alternative relationship structures without judgment. Therapy can include short-term coping plans or longer work on patterns that cause repeated stress. He offers video, phone, chat, and messaging sessions to make therapy fit into different schedules and lifestyles.
International clients may be accepted for online work.
Approaches that guide online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then take action toward a valued life. It can help with chronic anxiety, worry about decisions, and avoidance patterns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches concrete skills to change unhelpful thinking and behavior, which is often useful for panic, phobias, and persistent worry. Attachment-Based concepts look at how early relationship patterns shape current bonds and conflict, and that perspective can help when relationship trust or closeness feels difficult.Choosing a therapeutic approach is a shared process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, try methods that fit those goals, and adjust based on what helps. Clients can expect a collaborative plan that blends skill-building, emotional work, and exploration of relationship patterns when relevant.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let people use visual cues for deeper conversation. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging provide brief, on-the-go support between sessions or for people who prefer written check-ins. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or travel schedules while keeping focus on the same therapeutic tools used in person.
