About Demire
Demire Coffin-Williams is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor based in New York who helps people manage anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, and addiction. He brings nine years of clinical experience and a practical, straightforward style to sessions. People come to him for help with stress, grief, self-esteem, and problems tied to intimacy and sexual identity.
He uses several evidence-informed methods to guide conversations and set achievable goals. Sessions focus on what matters most to the client - values, day-to-day coping, and skills that make life feel more manageable.
Background and approach
Demire emphasizes working with individual strengths rather than labels. His background includes time in nonprofit, agency, and hospital settings before moving into independent practice. That variety shaped his approach to both emotional and behavioral concerns.
He also completed graduate training in clinical counseling and added a specialty in sexual orientation. In the therapy room he addresses a broad range of issues such as trauma and abuse, relationship and intimacy-related challenges, mood differences including bipolar mood concerns, and substance use. He also assists people facing family of origin problems, blended family stress, caregiver strain, and chronic illness-related challenges.
Demire is comfortable discussing alternative sex cultures including BDSM and kink, and supports conversations about body image, sexual functioning, and recovery after infidelity. He offers flexible session formats to fit different schedules and needs.
Approaches that guide online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy focuses on helping people name what matters to them and take small actions toward those values while learning to live with unwanted thoughts or feelings. It can be helpful for anxiety, depression, and problems tied to avoidance.Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns and emotional needs. This approach can help with relationship struggles, intimacy concerns, and rebuilding trust after betrayal.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist collaborates with each person to pick methods that match their goals, preferences, and life context. Plans are adjusted as progress and needs change.
Online formats offer practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual cues matter. Phone sessions can be a simpler option when bandwidth or being on camera is difficult. Live chat and text messaging make brief check-ins or ongoing skill practice easier between longer sessions.
