About Ebony
Ebony Shoemo is a Licensed Professional Counselor who focuses on helping people manage anxiety and related concerns. She speaks plainly and works to create a space where clients can name what feels hard and take small steps toward relief. Her style aims to be practical and rooted in everyday life.
She works with common struggles like stress, panic attacks, worry, and low self-esteem. She also helps people facing trauma, post-traumatic stress, anger, and the strain of life changes.
Background and approach
Parenting challenges, blended family issues, and communication problems are included in her focus areas. Ebony uses approaches that encourage action and new skills. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people spot unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy supports living with difficult feelings while moving toward personal goals. Client-Centered Therapy makes sure the client's priorities guide each session. Her background includes five years of clinical work in community mental health and schools.
Those roles involved supporting people from varied backgrounds and ages. She has professional experience with first responders, veterans, and those affected by natural or human-caused disasters. Outside of work she is a wife, mother, and a veteran.
She enjoys hiking, exercise, and quiet movie time with family. That mix of lived and clinical experience shapes a practical, down-to-earth approach to therapy.
Using ACT, CBT, and Client-Centered Work Online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choosing actions that match personal values; it can help with anxiety, stress, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors link together and teaches practical skills to reduce panic, worry, and low mood. Client-Centered Therapy centers the person in the room so sessions follow what matters most to the client and build at their pace.Deciding which approach fits best is part of the process. The therapist will work together with the client to identify goals, try methods, and adjust based on what helps. That collaborative effort makes it easier to find an approach that fits the client’s needs and preferences.
Online therapy offers several practical benefits. Video calls let people meet face-to-face when travel is difficult. Phone sessions can be easier when internet bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging support brief updates, ongoing coaching, or a way to stay connected between sessions. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy schedule and to keep building skills over time.
