Yumi Lemaster, LCSW

Yumi Lemaster is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) in Texas with 13 years of experience. She takes a straightforward, down-to-earth approach and focuses on building a trusting relationship so people can work through the problems that matter most to them. She meets people where they are and lets their goals guide the session.

Her clinical work emphasizes practical skills and real tools. She draws on cognitive behavioral ideas to help people notice patterns of thought and change unhelpful habits. She also uses attachment-based and client-centered ideas to focus on relationships and to create a respectful, accepting space.

Yumi has experience supporting people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma and abuse, and substance concerns. She also helps with relationship and intimacy issues, self-esteem, eating and sleep difficulties, and coping with life changes like divorce or caregiving strain.

Her background includes work as an Army social worker, where she supported service members through PTSD, adjustment issues, grief, parenting concerns, and domestic violence intervention. That time shaped her direct, skills-focused style and her emphasis on practical coping strategies.

In sessions she offers psychoeducation, coping skills practice, and reflective tools people can use between meetings. She sees therapy as a two-way process and welcomes feedback so sessions stay aligned with each person’s goals. The aim is to help people build strength and find a life that feels more alive to them.
