About Ajani

Ajani Mcmullen-Williams is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship or intimacy-related concerns. She commonly supports clients around LGBT issues, sexuality, sexual dysfunction, divorce and separation, and men's issues. Ajani practices from a perspective that centers the person rather than a diagnosis.

She trained at the NYU Silver School of Social Work and began her career in community mental health in New York City. There she worked with people who had high needs but limited access to services. That background shaped her focus on practical, accessible care.

Ajani uses approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, and the Gottman Method to match the work to each person's goals. Sessions focus on clear, doable steps and honest conversation. She aims to help people notice patterns, try new behaviors, and make choices that fit their life.

Her style is direct, nonjudgmental, and culturally aware. She considers a client's cultural background, identity, and life story when planning treatment. The goal is to create an environment where someone can speak openly and feel seen.

People who reach out complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions based on availability. Ajani is licensed as an LCSW in Pennsylvania and Delaware and works from Delaware; sessions are offered in English. Confirm current session options before booking.

How Ajani’s approaches guide online therapy

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening closely and meeting each person where they are. It helps people feel understood and guides therapy around their own goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and teaches practical skills to change them, which can be useful for anxiety and depression. Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people understand and express emotions in relationships and can be useful for intimacy and connection issues.

Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with the client to identify priorities, try methods that match those goals, and adjust the plan as progress is made. That way the approach fits the person's needs, values, and pace.

The original biography does not specify session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Licensed professionals can use these approaches effectively over video or phone when appropriate, and the therapist will discuss which option best supports the work and the client’s daily routine.
