About Demire
Demire Coffin-Williams is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor who helps people facing anger, addiction, anxiety, depression, and relationship struggles. He keeps sessions practical and direct so people can use what they learn quickly. Many come with worries about intimacy, self‑esteem, grief, or family conflict and leave with clearer next steps.
He uses plain talk and tools drawn from several approaches. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people spot patterns that fuel anger and change them.
Background and approach
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy supports finding what matters most and taking values‑based actions. Dialectical Behavior Therapy offers skills for managing intense emotions and improving communication. Demire earned a master’s degree in clinical counseling and holds an NY LMHC license.
He worked in nonprofit, agency, and hospital settings before moving into independent practice. That mix informs his practical focus and familiarity with a range of concerns, including bipolar disorder and trauma. He also supports clients around sexuality, kink and alternative sex culture, and LGBT‑related issues, offering a nonjudgmental space to talk through identity and relationship questions.
He addresses substance use, codependency, and problems tied to blended families and caregiver stress. Sessions blend problem solving with skill practice. Expect clear goals, straightforward exercises, and check‑ins on progress.
Communication skills and coping techniques are taught and tried in session so people can use them between meetings. Demire sees clients in New York and with international clients by online formats. He speaks English and brings nine years of clinical experience to each appointment.

How his approaches translate to online care
Demire draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, useful for anger, depression, and anxiety. He also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help clients clarify values and take small steps toward what matters, which can be helpful with grief, identity, and motivation. Dialectical Behavior Therapy provides practical emotion‑regulation and interpersonal skills for intense reactions and relationship conflicts.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped in the past. Together they try techniques and adjust the plan based on what fits and what produces real changes in day‑to‑day life.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text‑based messaging to match different needs. Video sessions let people work face to face for skills practice and deeper conversation. Phone calls can be a simpler option when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and messaging work well for brief check‑ins, skill reminders, or when written reflection feels easier. These options add flexibility so therapy can fit work, travel, or caregiving schedules.
