About Ebony

Ebony Clayton, LCSW, brings a cognitive-behavioral orientation to her clinical work while drawing on client-centered, narrative, and solution-focused ideas. She emphasizes how thoughts, emotions, and behaviors interact and uses that understanding to help clients reduce symptoms and pursue meaningful change.

Background and approach

With ten years of experience, she blends practical strategies with a compassionate stance to create sessions that reflect each person’s circumstances and values. Her practice addresses a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and intimacy-related issues, self-esteem, family and parenting challenges, grief, anger, sleep problems, and career questions.

Additional focuses include adoption and foster care matters, codependency, divorce and separation, forgiveness work, veteran and armed forces issues, and women's issues. Based in Nevada, she offers services in English and structures treatment around client goals using techniques drawn from evidence-informed therapies.

Ebony frames therapy as a collaborative process, meeting clients where they are and tailoring interventions to fit their needs. Sessions can incorporate practical skill building, narrative exploration of life stories, and solution-focused steps to help move forward, all guided by a nonjudgmental, empathetic approach.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Ebony often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify and change unhelpful thought patterns and develop practical skills for managing anxiety, depression, stress, and behavior-related concerns. She also integrates client-centered principles, offering a nonjudgmental, empathic stance that prioritizes each person’s experience and supports self-directed growth.

Choosing the right approach is collaborative; the therapist works with clients to assess needs, goals, and preferences and then adapts methods accordingly. Some people respond well to skills-focused CBT exercises, while others benefit from narrative work that reframes life stories or solution-focused steps that target immediate changes. Ebony tailors the combination of strategies to fit the individual’s situation and evolving priorities.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which can make it easier to schedule sessions around work, family, and geographic constraints. These formats support continuity of care and allow licensed professionals to deliver structured interventions, reflective conversations, and brief coaching-like contacts in ways that suit different lifestyles and therapeutic goals.
