About Ebony

Ebony Brushbreaker is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Nevada. She brings seven years of direct clinical experience and a practical, down-to-earth style to sessions.

Background and approach

She emphasizes methods that help people build clearer values, manage difficult feelings, and make small changes that matter. In session she draws on approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based work, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to match what a person needs in the moment.

She also lists the Gottman Method among her approaches. Clients often come for help with depression, grief, trauma and abuse, and concerns related to LGBT identity.

She also addresses self-esteem, isolation, and mood challenges, and can support people dealing with chronic illness, caregiver stress, or changes from divorce and separation. Ebony uses straightforward talk, practical exercises, and focused skills practice.

She aims to help people notice unhelpful patterns and try new ways of coping between sessions. Sessions are paced to fit a person’s goals and energy.

She offers therapy in English and accepts international clients. Sessions are available by video, phone, live chat, or text messaging, and use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.

Therapeutic approaches and online care that fit your life

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters most and take small steps toward those values even when feelings are hard. It focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck and committing to actions that match personal goals. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns. It helps people recognize repeating dynamics in relationships and practice new ways of relating that feel safer and more connected. A brief note: the profile also lists the Gottman Method as an approach she uses for relational work.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels helpful. Together they choose methods to try and adjust them as progress is made, so therapy stays practical and relevant.

Online therapy formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions let people use visual cues and longer conversation, phone can work when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits focused check-ins, and messaging supports brief updates or ongoing skill practice. These options make it easier to fit sessions around work, caregiving, or health needs while keeping the focus on clear goals and usable skills.
