Background and approach
Over five years she has worked in community mental health and in public schools, gaining experience with diverse backgrounds and age ranges. That time shaped her focus on everyday coping skills and problem solving. Ebony prefers a client-centered way of working where the person leads the conversation and sets the goals.
She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to notice and change thinking patterns, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people accept difficult feelings while taking value-driven action. Sessions usually include straightforward techniques you can use between meetings. She brings personal insight as a veteran, a spouse, and a parent, and she understands stress from life transitions, workplace strain, and caregiving.
Her areas of focus include trauma and abuse, anxiety, ADHD, depression, parenting strain, anger, and compassion fatigue. Ebony offers sessions by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. She works in Georgia and conducts therapy in English.

How her approaches translate to online care
Ebony uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting trapped by them, then take actions that match their values. That approach can be useful for anxiety, depression, and long-term stress.She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking and practice new behaviors. CBT is practical and often focuses on skills you can try between sessions to reduce panic, improve mood, or manage ADHD-related challenges.
Finding the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will work with the client to choose methods that match goals and preferences, and adjust techniques as progress is made. That collaborative process helps make online sessions feel purposeful and tailored.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video works well when visual cues matter and conversations need more depth. Phone sessions can fit a short break or lower bandwidth situations. Live chat and text allow quick check-ins and written reflection between longer meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy around family, work, school, and other commitments.
