Ebony Shoemo , LPC

Ebony Shoemo is a Licensed Professional Counselor who helps clients explore the parts of themselves that lead to lasting change. A graduate of Troy University with a Master of Science in Clinical Mental Health Counseling, she holds LPC credentialing - Licensed Professional Counselor, which indicates formal licensure to provide mental health counseling in clinical settings - and is a member of the National Board for Certified Counselors.

Her clinical background spans community mental health and public school settings, where she has worked with children, adolescents, and adults from a range of backgrounds. She favors a person-centered stance that treats the whole person and positions the client as the expert guiding each session. That collaborative foundation is combined with practical methods such as cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness practices, solution-focused brief therapy, social skills training, relaxation techniques, and acceptance and commitment therapy.

Her areas of focus include anxiety, ADHD, post-traumatic stress disorder, mood disorders, trauma, and crisis intervention. As a wife, mother, and veteran, she brings a personal commitment to serving people who have served and to supporting families through challenge and change. She enjoys hiking, exercising, and quiet movie nights with her family, and she approaches therapy with energy and a readiness to begin the work she describes as the "dig" toward healing.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, encourages clients to notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that align with personal values; it is often helpful for anxiety, stress, and living with painful memories. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a supportive, nonjudgmental environment where the client leads the conversation and the therapist offers empathy and reflection - this approach supports growth, self-awareness, and stronger relationships. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, examines how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact and teaches practical skills to shift unhelpful patterns, which is useful for depression, anxiety, and coping with life changes.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Ebony collaborates with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She works with clients to try techniques, evaluate what helps, and adjust the plan together so the care remains aligned with what matters most to the client.

Online therapy offers flexible access to licensed professionals through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, maintain continuity during life transitions, and receive support from home or another convenient location, while still engaging in meaningful, skills-based work with a therapist.
