Ajani Mcmullen-Williams

Ajani Mcmullen-Williams is a licensed clinical social worker with five years of practice. She focuses on stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and intimacy concerns, and supports people navigating LGBT issues. She also addresses sexual health, men’s and women’s concerns, and challenges tied to divorce and separation.

Ajani trained at the NYU Silver School of Social Work and began her career in New York City community mental health. That start shaped a practical, down-to-earth approach to care. Sessions center on the needs and goals each person brings to the room.

Her style is collaborative and culturally aware. She aims to meet clients where they are and to factor in cultural background, social context, and personal history when planning next steps. The work is nonjudgmental and tailored rather than one-size-fits-all.

Ajani uses a mix of methods to guide conversations and decision making. She draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to address unhelpful thoughts, motivational interviewing to clarify goals, and emotionally focused practices to help with connection and closeness. She also incorporates elements of the Gottman Method for relationship concerns.

People often come to sessions wanting clearer communication, better emotional regulation, or a plan through difficult life transitions like divorce and separation. Ajani aims to create straightforward, achievable steps so progress feels manageable. She practices in Delaware and works in English.

How Ajani’s Approaches Translate to Online Work

Ajani uses client-centered methods that prioritize the person's goals and experience. This approach means conversations focus on what matters most to the individual and the therapist adjusts pace and techniques to match those needs.

She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help identify and change unhelpful thought and behavior patterns. CBT is often practical and task-oriented, which can make it easier to try tools between sessions. Emotionally-focused work is another part of her practice; it helps people understand and shift patterns in how they react and connect, which is helpful for relationship and intimacy concerns.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. She will talk with each person about goals and preferences and try methods that fit those aims. If something isn’t working, adjustments are part of the plan rather than a sign of failure.

The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm available session options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, reduce commute time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Discuss scheduling needs and preferred ways of meeting during the initial matching and scheduling process to find what works best.
