About Ebony

Ebony Shoemo is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Georgia who focuses on helping people navigate trauma, anxiety, mood challenges, parenting concerns, and life transitions. She approaches therapy as a collaborative process, guiding clients to uncover strengths and practical tools that support change.

Background and approach

With five years of experience in community mental health and school-based settings, she has worked with children, adolescents, and adults from varied backgrounds. Her practice emphasizes person-centered care, inviting clients to lead sessions while she offers evidence-informed techniques such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT).

Sessions can include skill-building strategies for stress, anger, ADHD, panic, and relationship or family concerns, along with attention to multicultural and veteran-related issues when relevant. Outside of work she is a wife, mother, and veteran who enjoys hiking, exercise, and family time, and she brings that commitment to service into her clinical work.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Ebony uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify and shift unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors, often through practical exercises and skill practice that can be adapted to an online format for issues like anxiety, depression, and panic. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy is another approach she uses to help people clarify values and build psychological flexibility, using mindfulness and action-oriented steps that suit remote sessions and self-guided work.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. She works with each person to determine which methods align with their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting techniques over time as progress and priorities evolve. Clients are invited to participate actively in shaping the plan for therapy rather than following a one-size-fits-all model.

Online therapy with her is available by video call, phone session, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, access support during life transitions, and practice skills between meetings while fitting therapy into everyday routines.
