About Ebony
Dr. Ebony Waller is a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) practicing in Illinois with seven years of clinical experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, self-esteem, career concerns, and compassion fatigue.
She listens with respect and works to create a plan that fits each person's situation. Her approach blends practical strategies with creative, person-centered work. She often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to address unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and Mindfulness Therapy to teach calming attention skills.
Background and approach
Narrative Therapy is used to help people reframe their stories and find new meaning in their experiences. Sessions are shaped around what the individual needs. She adapts conversations and tools so they feel relevant and doable in everyday life.
That might mean short skills practice, reviewing a thought record, or talking through moments that trigger anxiety. Dr. Waller also brings therapy techniques that connect with clients through rhythm and voice alongside more common methods.
The emphasis is on building confidence, improving communication, and restoring energy drained by stress or caregiving roles. She offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different schedules. International clients may be served in English.
To begin, a short matching questionnaire and scheduling step connects people to her work.
Approaches that translate well to online therapy
CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and testing new behaviors. Online sessions can include short homework, thought records, and step-by-step plans to reduce anxiety and stress.Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and increase calm. These skills are easy to practice between sessions and work well with video or brief text check-ins to reinforce progress.
Narrative Therapy helps people rewrite how they talk about difficult events and see new possibilities. Talking through moments and reviewing written reflections can be done effectively in video or messaging formats.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match goals, needs, and preferences. That might mean starting with CBT tools, adding mindfulness practice, or shaping sessions around personal stories and strengths.
Online formats offer practical benefits. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and shared materials, phone sessions work when bandwidth is limited, live chat supports brief check-ins, and text messaging can be used for ongoing encouragement or quick skill practice. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy days and different schedules.
