About Ebony
Ebony Shoemo is a Licensed Professional Counselor who focuses on practical support for parents and people coping with trauma, anxiety, stress, and changes in life. She writes simply and listens closely to what matters most. Her goal is to help clients find the steps they need to move forward and feel more in control.
She earned a Master’s in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Troy University. Over five years she worked in community mental health and in public schools, helping people from varied backgrounds.
Background and approach
That experience shaped a straightforward, person-centered way of working where the client guides the session. Ebony uses a mix of approaches to match each person’s needs. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot unhelpful thinking and build new habits.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people clarify values and take meaningful action. Client-centered methods keep sessions focused on the client’s priorities and pace. Practical skills appear often in sessions.
Clients may practice relaxation, mindfulness, and communication techniques. She also addresses parenting concerns, anger, ADHD-related struggles, and the effects of trauma and grief. The emphasis is on small, usable changes rather than long lectures.
Outside of work Ebony is a wife, mother, and veteran. She enjoys hiking, exercise, and quiet movie nights with her family. That personal perspective informs a down-to-earth approach to care and an interest in supporting veterans and first responders.

Therapeutic approaches and online options
Ebony commonly draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in online work. ACT helps clients notice difficult thoughts and feelings while choosing actions that match their values, which can help with parenting stress and life changes. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and trying new behaviors to reduce anxiety, manage anger, and address mood difficulties. Finding the right approach is a shared process. She works collaboratively with clients to pick or adapt methods based on individual goals, concerns, and what feels workable. That means trying practical exercises together and adjusting plans as needed until something fits. Online sessions use video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy flexible. Video works well for face-to-face conversation and skill practice. Phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in fits a break at work. Live chat or text works for quick updates, problem-solving in between sessions, or when typing feels easier than talking. These options help clients fit therapy into busy family schedules and varied routines.Questions people ask about Ebony
