Ebony Shoemo, LPC

Ebony Shoemo is a Licensed Professional Counselor who focuses on helping people take the first steps toward change. She talks plainly and meets clients where they are. Parents reading on a phone will find short, direct explanations and a steady presence in sessions.

She offers a practical mix of tools and listening. Sessions often include goal-focused work, strategies to manage anxiety or anger, and ways to handle life changes and stress. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and client-centered methods to help people notice patterns and try new choices.

Ebony earned a master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Troy University and holds an LPC in Georgia. She has worked in community mental health and in public schools over the last five years, supporting people from varied backgrounds. That experience shapes a straightforward, respectful approach in her work.

She pays attention to everyday pressures that wear people down, like caregiving strain, work stress, and parenting challenges. Practical skills such as relaxation, mindfulness, and problem-solving are commonly used in sessions to reduce overwhelm and improve daily functioning.

Outside of work she is a wife, mother, and veteran who values time with family and being active outdoors. That perspective informs a collaborative style that treats each client as the expert on their life while offering concrete help to move forward.

How her approaches work online

Ebony uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different actions to change feelings and behavior. CBT can be useful for anxiety, panic, stress, and many everyday problems. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy focuses on values and taking meaningful steps even when feelings are hard, which can help with PTSD, grief, and ongoing stress. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and support so the person leads the work and finds their own solutions.

Choosing the right approach is part of therapy. She works together with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, values, and comfort level. That collaborative process often blends elements from more than one approach so tools match real-life needs.

Online sessions include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is good for face-to-face conversations and skills practice. Phone works when bandwidth is low or a session needs to fit into a work break. Live chat and text allow shorter check-ins and ongoing support between sessions. These options make it easier to schedule care and keep using skills between meetings.
