Ajani Mcmullen-Williams , LCSW

Ajani Mcmullen-Williams is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Delaware who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship or intimacy concerns. She also supports clients facing issues related to sexuality, LGBT identity, divorce and separation, men's issues, sexual dysfunction, and women's issues. Her approach aims to be practical and down-to-earth.

Ajani uses several talk-therapy methods to meet each person's needs. She blends Client-Centered Therapy with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, Gottman Method tools, and Motivational Interviewing. Sessions focus on clear goals and doable steps rather than abstract theory.

Her work began after graduating from New York University Silver School of Social Work. Early experience came in community mental health in New York City, helping people who had high needs and limited access to care. That background shaped a straightforward, resource-focused style.

Ajani emphasizes cultural awareness in sessions. She pays attention to a person’s background, social position, and personal history when planning work together. The aim is to create a respectful, nonjudgmental environment where people can talk frankly about their concerns.

She welcomes people from a range of communities, including LGBTQ+ and BIPOC individuals, as well as those who identify as differently abled or who explore kink and polyamory. Ajani offers practical strategies, collaborative goal-setting, and tools people can use between sessions.

Using Talk Therapy Approaches Online

Ajani often draws on Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in online work. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building understanding so people feel heard and can identify their own next steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at patterns of thought and behavior and teaches practical techniques to change unhelpful habits and reduce symptoms.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. She will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and recommend methods that fit their situation. That collaboration helps shape a plan that can be adjusted as needed.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video calls let people use visual cues and longer conversations. Phone sessions work when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging can be useful for quick updates, between-session check-ins, or when typing feels easier than speaking. These options make it easier to schedule therapy around work, family, and daily life.
