About Demire
Demire Coffin-Williams is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in New York with nine years of clinical experience. He works with adults on issues such as anxiety, depression, addiction, relationship strain, grief, trauma, bipolar disorder, and anger. He also supports people navigating intimacy and sexual concerns and those exploring sexual orientation and gender decisions.
He sees therapy as practical problem solving. Sessions focus on clear goals, skills, and choices that make day-to-day life easier. Conversations address thoughts, behaviors, and the patterns that keep stress and resentment stuck. Demire draws on a mix of approaches to match what a person needs in the moment.
Before private practice he worked in nonprofit, agency, and hospital settings. That background informs a pragmatic approach to care and a familiarity with a wide range of behavioral health concerns. He explains options plainly and helps people decide what to try next.
In sessions he uses techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy to interrupt unhelpful thinking and manage strong emotions. He also incorporates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and attachment-based ideas to clarify values and relationship patterns. The work can include skill practice, values clarification, and talking through relationship or intimacy questions.
He welcomes people from LGBTQ and straight communities and supports a variety of relationship structures. Sessions are conducted in English and he accepts international clients. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the site's online options.
How sessions work
How his approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small actions toward those values while accepting uncomfortable feelings. It can be useful for anger that centers on regret, guilt, or feeling stuck. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets the thoughts and behaviors that maintain strong emotional reactions and provides practical exercises to change those patterns. CBT is often used for anger tied to automatic negative thinking or workplace stress. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness skills that can help when anger flares in relationships or leads to impulsive reactions.Finding the right mix of methods is part of the process. The therapist works collaboratively to identify what fits the client's goals and preferences. Together they try strategies, review what helps, and adjust the plan based on real-world results rather than a fixed formula.
The original biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current online session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a workday, reduce travel time, or use a shorter check-in when schedules are tight. They also allow practice of interpersonal skills in real time and let the therapist suggest exercises to use between meetings. Licensed professionals can guide how to make remote sessions practical and consistent with a client's daily routine.
