Demire Coffin-Williams , LMHC

Demire Coffin-Williams is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor practicing in New York. He holds a master’s degree in Clinical Counseling and completed an additional specialty in Sexual Orientation, and he brings that formal training to work with individuals and couples from diverse relationship structures and identities. He practices from models such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy - ACT, Solution Focused Therapy, and Rational-Emotive Behavior Therapy - REBT, applying those tools to help clients clarify values, shift unhelpful thinking patterns, and set practical goals for change.

Now in private practice after extensive work in non-profit, agency, and hospital settings, he works with both LGBTQ and straight clients, and with people in monogamous and ethically poly-formed relationships. He endorses holism and recovery as guiding philosophies, approaching care with the belief that a diagnosis does not define a person and that individuals can find the freedom to build the life they want.

His clinical experience includes supporting people with depression, anxiety and phobias, addiction and substance use concerns, bipolar disorder, psychotic disorders, trauma and personality disorders, recovery from infidelity, and sexual functioning concerns across gender identities. He also assists those exploring gender reassignment surgery and addresses relationship, family, and intimacy-related issues as part of a broad practice focused on healing and meaningful change.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care with Demire Coffin-Williams

Demire Coffin-Williams integrates evidence-informed approaches to help clients tackle emotional and relational challenges. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy - ACT encourages people to clarify what matters to them and take committed action toward those values while learning to relate differently to difficult thoughts and feelings. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early and current relationship patterns influence emotional responses and connection, and it can be especially helpful for intimacy, abandonment, and relationship repair work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy - CBT helps clients identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, making it useful for anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Demire will work with each person to assess needs, goals, and preferences, and will tailor methods over time so therapy feels like a good fit for the individual or couple.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to engage - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging - so clients can choose formats that match their schedule and comfort. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, access support from different locations, and fit therapy into a busy life while working with licensed professionals committed to practical, client-centered progress.
