About Yumi
Yumi Lemaster is a licensed clinical social worker who combines practical therapy methods with a warm, down-to-earth presence. She focuses on helping people regain confidence, manage stress, and build healthier relationships. Her style centers on listening first and following the pace each person prefers.
Yumi uses approaches grounded in evidence, including cognitive behavioral work and attachment-based ideas. She often teaches coping skills, offers clear psychoeducation, and practices techniques that people can try between sessions. Sessions tend to be collaborative - clients set goals and guide the priorities.
Her background includes 13 years of clinical experience and past work as an Army social worker. That work included supporting people through depression, anxiety, grief, substance concerns, relationship challenges, and adjustment after life changes. This history informs how she helps people navigate strong emotions and practical problems.
In the room she blends client-centered listening with structured skills when helpful. She may introduce DBT-informed strategies for emotion regulation, CBT strategies for changing unhelpful thinking, or attachment-focused conversations about patterns in close relationships. The aim is to give tools that fit each person's life and goals.
People seeking help for self esteem, body image, grief, career stress, or parenting strain can expect direct skill teaching and reflective conversation. Yumi emphasizes practice and steady progress rather than quick fixes. Her approach is straightforward and focused on real-life change.
