About Ebony

Ebony Brushbreaker is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who centers her practice on helping people build stronger self esteem and cope with life changes. She draws on brief, practical strategies and a belief that healing includes mind, body, and spirit. Her tone is grounded and direct, aimed at people who want usable tools for everyday struggles.

She uses methods from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, and Client-Centered Therapy to shape sessions. That means sessions often include examining unhelpful thoughts, learning skills for emotion regulation, and clarifying values to guide decisions. She blends these tools with attention to relationships and personal meaning.

Ebony has seven years of clinical experience as an LCSW and additional background in medical social work and long term care settings. Her work history includes supporting people through grief, trauma, chronic illness, and mood struggles. This experience informs practical approaches for coping and day-to-day functioning.

She offers care informed by culture and lived experience, and brings an awareness of spiritual and cultural identity into conversations when clients want that focus. Clients can expect straightforward talk about goals, strengths, and steps to move forward.

Based in Nevada, she works in English and accepts international clients. People who want to explore self worth, manage depression, or process loss will find a mix of skills training, values work, and supportive listening in her sessions.

Therapeutic approaches for online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters most and take small steps toward those values while learning to tolerate difficult thoughts and feelings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking patterns and building practical skills to improve mood and behavior. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early and current relationships shape emotional responses and helps people develop healthier ways of relating and regulating feelings.

Finding the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as needed so sessions match the person’s needs.

The biography does not specify which online session formats are offered, so confirm current options before booking. In general, online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, shorten travel time, and allow for check-ins from different locations. It also supports continuing work on skills, values, and relationship patterns between in-person visits when that suits a person’s schedule and needs.
