About Ebony
Ebony Brushbreaker is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who combines practical therapy methods with a calm, direct style. She uses approaches that help people notice what matters, change unhelpful habits, and rebuild safer connections with themselves and others. Her work focuses on issues such as LGBT concerns, trauma and abuse, grief, low self-esteem, and depression.
Ebony has seven years of clinical experience in behavioral health settings in Nevada. She brings a straightforward way of talking that aims to make sessions useful from the start.
Background and approach
Sessions often involve setting small goals, practicing new skills, and checking what is or isn’t working. Her approach draws on acceptance and commitment ideas to help people clarify values and take meaningful action. She also uses attachment-based methods to look at how relationships and early patterns affect current trust and closeness.
Cognitive behavioral techniques can help change upsetting thoughts and habits that keep mood problems going. Ebony also includes elements from dialectical behavior strategies when emotion regulation or impulsivity are concerns. She works with people managing chronic health issues, caregiver stress, loneliness, and life transitions like divorce or midlife changes.
Practical tools and short exercises are often part of sessions to support everyday coping. Sessions are offered in English and can happen online by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. Ebony holds an active LCSW license in Nevada (NV LCSW 10879-C) and aims to make therapy clear and achievable for people taking the first step.
Therapeutic approaches in online sessions
Ebony commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy in online work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts without getting stuck and commit to actions that match their values. It can help with depression, grief, and motivation by shifting focus from avoiding discomfort to taking meaningful steps.Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns shape current connections and trust. This approach can be useful for people struggling with isolation, communication problems, and relationship wounds caused by trauma or loss. It focuses on identifying patterns and trying new ways of relating that feel safer.
Finding the right mix of methods is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences, then try approaches that fit those needs. Sessions may shift over time as problems change or specific skills are needed.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is good for longer work and skills practice, phone can be a lower-bandwidth option, live chat suits brief check-ins, and text messaging works well for short updates or ongoing support. These options make it easier to schedule therapy around work, caregiving, or health needs while keeping the focus on practical progress.
