About Ajani

Ajani Mcmullen-Williams is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strains, intimacy concerns, and LGBT-related issues. She also supports people coping with divorce and separation, men's issues, sexual dysfunction, sexuality questions, and women's issues.

Background and approach

Ajani practices in Delaware and offers services in English. Ajani uses a blend of approaches to match each person's needs.

Her tools include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Client-Centered Therapy, and the Gottman Method. She focuses on clear, practical steps and open conversation to help people identify what matters most to them.

Her style centers on meeting people where they are. Sessions are nonjudgmental and culturally aware, with attention paid to background, identity, and life experiences.

Ajani aims to create a space where people feel respected while they work through their goals. She began her clinical work in community mental health in New York City after graduating from New York University Silver School of Social Work.

That background shaped a practical approach to care for people with limited access to services and complex life stressors. Ajani has five years of clinical experience and holds PA LCSW and DE LCSW credentials.

She works with individuals and people in committed romantic relationships, using techniques tailored to each person’s history and preferences. People who want to try online therapy can connect by choosing the Start Therapy button, completing a short matching questionnaire, and scheduling based on availability.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Ajani draws from the Gottman Method, Client-Centered Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people with relationship and personal concerns. The Gottman Method looks at patterns between partners and teaches practical skills for better communication and conflict management. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, empathy, and helping people find their own solutions based on their values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors to reduce anxiety and low mood.

Finding the right approach is collaborative. Ajani will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't helped before. Together they decide which methods to use and adjust the plan as needed so work stays practical and relevant.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video lets people practice communication skills face to face. Phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging make it easier to fit short check-ins into busy days or to follow up between sessions. These options let people access licensed professionals from different locations and fit care into their schedules.
