About Yumi
Yumi Lemaster is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) with 13 years of experience. She draws on an attachment-informed way of working to help people feel heard and safer in relationships. Her style is warm and direct, and she focuses on practical steps that clients can use right away.
She centers sessions on the client’s goals and follows the pace set by the person seeking support. Yumi emphasizes a respectful, two-way working relationship where feedback shapes each session.
Background and approach
She uses a mix of therapy styles to match what a client needs in the moment. Her background includes work as an Army social worker supporting people through depression, anxiety, grief, trauma-related concerns, substance use, and life transitions. That experience gave her a broad view of how stress shows up and what helps people get back on track.
Yumi often teaches coping skills and practical strategies to manage strong emotions and daily demands. In sessions she may draw from attachment-based ideas to look at how early connections influence current relationships. She also uses client-centered methods to follow a person’s lead and cognitive behavioral tools to identify unhelpful thinking and change patterns.
Dialectical and existential ideas sometimes shape discussions about meaning, values, and coping. Yumi works with many concerns including relationship and intimacy issues, anger, sleep and eating problems, grief, and caregiver stress. She helps people address family of origin issues, abandonment and attachment struggles, and the overwhelm that comes with major life changes.

Online support
How attachment and practical therapies work online
Attachment-based work looks at how early connections shape current relationships and emotions, and it helps people notice patterns that show up when they feel stressed or disconnected. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening closely and following the person’s lead, which makes it easier to set goals that feel meaningful. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors to reduce distress and improve daily functioning.Finding the right approach is part of the process. A therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels most useful, and then try methods together. The process is collaborative - feedback and adjustments guide which techniques are used over time.
Online sessions can take place by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules. Video works well when visual cues help the conversation. Phone sessions can fit a shorter break or when lower bandwidth is needed. Live chat and messaging allow quick check-ins, written reflection, or ongoing support between longer sessions. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent while balancing work, family, and daily life.
