About Ebony
Ebony Brushbreaker is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with seven years of experience in direct practice. She works with people facing depression, grief, trauma, and LGBTQ concerns. Her approach pays attention to how the body and mind connect, and she brings a practical, person-centered style to sessions.
Ebony uses somatic ideas alongside acceptance and commitment tools to help people notice how feelings show up in the body. She also draws on attachment-based and cognitive strategies to address patterns in relationships and thinking.
Background and approach
Sessions aim to help clients build clearer values, steadier coping, and better daily habits. Her background includes work in medical social work and long term care settings, where she supported adults with complex health needs and end-of-life concerns. That experience shaped her focus on chronic illness, caregiver stress, and the emotional challenges of medical conditions.
She also brings experience addressing body image, shame, and isolation. Clients meet a therapist who emphasizes simple, doable steps. Conversations move between talking, body awareness, and practical homework.
The goal is more calm, more clarity, and actions that line up with what matters to each person. Ebony practices in Nevada and holds the LCSW credential. Sessions are offered in English, and she accepts international clients for online work.
The tone of her work is down-to-earth and steady, meant to help someone feel more capable in everyday life.
How somatic and values-based work translates online
Somatic-informed work pays attention to how emotions show up in the body, using gentle awareness of breath, posture, and sensations to notice patterns. This helps when feelings are stuck or show up as physical pain and complements conversational work.Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying personal values and taking small, committed steps toward them while learning to live with difficult thoughts. It is useful for mood, grief, and motivation issues. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how relationship patterns shape responses and helps people shift those patterns for healthier connection and self-understanding.
Choosing the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, try techniques, and adjust the mix of somatic awareness, ACT, or attachment work as needed. Clients are invited to give feedback so the plan fits their needs and preferences.
Online therapy with video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging offers flexibility for people with busy schedules or mobility limits. These formats let therapists share exercises, guide body-awareness practices by voice or video, and follow up with text-based check-ins. Many clients find online sessions make consistent support easier to keep up with.
