About Ebony
Ebony Shoemo is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Georgia who helps people manage stress, anxiety, ADHD concerns, and the fallout from trauma. She speaks plainly and works alongside clients to find practical steps that fit everyday life. Her style is direct but warm, aimed at steady progress rather than quick fixes.
Ebony uses a person-centered stance that lets the client lead their sessions. She blends this with cognitive behavioral techniques to identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns.
Background and approach
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy ideas are part of her toolbox to help people clarify values and take small committed actions. Her background includes work in community mental health and as a school-based mental health therapist. That mix gave her experience with children, adolescents, and adults from varied backgrounds.
She draws on those settings when treating anxiety, mood concerns, attention challenges, panic, and post-traumatic stress. Ebony also pays attention to life roles and stressors such as parenting, first responder issues, veteran and armed forces experiences, and multicultural concerns. She offers concrete skills like relaxation training, social skills practice, and solution-focused strategies to handle day-to-day problems.
Outside of work she is a wife, a mother, and a veteran who enjoys hiking and family time. Her approach aims to help people uncover the pieces they need to change and then put them into action. She frames therapy as a shared process toward clearer goals and workable steps.
Therapeutic approaches and online care
Ebony commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice difficult thoughts and feelings, clarify what matters to them, and take small actions in line with their values. This approach can be useful for anxiety, stress, and life transitions.She also uses Client-Centered Therapy, which focuses on listening without judgment and following the client's lead. That helps build trust and lets the person decide which goals feel most important. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is another tool she draws on to teach concrete skills for changing thought patterns and behaviors that feed problems like panic, low mood, and attention difficulties.
Choosing the right method is part of the work she does with each person. She discusses options, tries techniques, and adjusts the plan based on progress, goals, and personal preference. The process is collaborative rather than prescribed from the start.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video sessions allow for face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat and messaging work well for brief check-ins or when typing feels easier, and different formats help fit care around work, school, or parenting duties.
