About Ajani
Ajani Mcmullen-Williams is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with five years of experience. She practices in Delaware and focuses on stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and intimacy-related issues, and LGBTQ concerns.
She trained at NYU Silver School of Social Work and started her career in New York City community mental health. That work involved helping people who had high needs but limited access to services. Her background includes practical experience in settings with a range of social and economic challenges.
Ajani uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) among other methods to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different responses. She also draws on Motivational Interviewing to support change and Emotion-Focused Therapy to look at feelings in relationships. The Gottman Method informs her work with romantic partners when relevant.
Her approach is client-centered and culturally aware. She considers a person’s cultural background, social position, personal history, and how they understand themselves when planning sessions. She aims to work without judgment and to respect each person’s experience.
Ajani’s practice accepts people from LGBTQ+ communities, BIPOC communities, kink and polyamorous communities, and those who identify as differently abled. She offers work on divorce and separation, men’s issues, women’s issues, sexual dysfunction, and concerns about sexuality alongside her core focus areas.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Ajani uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to break down unhelpful thoughts and test small behavioral experiments. CBT sessions focus on concrete skills and short exercises that can be practiced between meetings to reduce anxiety and manage mood.She also uses Client-Centered Therapy, which prioritizes the person’s perspective and pacing. This approach involves reflective listening, clarifying goals, and adjusting the pace to what the person needs in session. Emotionally-Focused Therapy is used when relationship feelings are central; it helps name emotions and try new ways of responding in close relationships.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Ajani will collaborate with each person to decide which method or combination fits their goals and daily life. She adjusts methods based on what the person reports and how they respond to early sessions.
The original biography does not list specific online formats, so confirm the available session types before booking. Online work can make scheduling easier, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let people use video, or other formats when supported, so therapy fits around work, family, and other commitments.
