About Ebony
Ebony Brushbreaker is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Nevada. She brings seven years of clinical practice and a clear focus on helping people facing depression, grief, trauma, self-esteem struggles, and LGBT concerns. She uses Narrative approaches alongside other therapy styles to help people tell their stories and find new meanings.
Her sessions are straightforward and practical. She listens to each person's story, highlights strengths, and helps identify steps that feel doable.
Background and approach
She also addresses related issues such as abandonment, body image, caregiver stress, chronic illness, communication problems, and impulse control. Ebony blends Narrative work with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-based ideas. She also draws on client-centered and cognitive behavioral techniques to help people notice unhelpful patterns and try new ways of responding.
The emphasis is on small, achievable changes rather than jargon or one-size-fits-all plans. People come to her when they need help making sense of loss, when depression or mood swings get in the way, or when past trauma keeps repeating in daily life. She also helps with practical pressures like money stress and midlife questions about purpose.

How Narrative and ACT translate to online care
Ebony uses Narrative Therapy to help people examine and rewrite the stories they live by, which can reduce the power of painful memories or labels. Narrative work is useful for grief, trauma, and questions about identity because it focuses on meaning and personal strengths.She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings while choosing actions that match their values. ACT can be helpful for depression, anxiety, and chronic stress by emphasizing small committed steps instead of trying to force feelings away.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals and try different techniques together to see what fits. That way the plan evolves from what matters most to the client rather than a fixed method.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is good for face-to-face conversations and deeper work. Phone sessions work when bandwidth or camera use is limited. Live chat or messaging can be used for brief check-ins, processing between sessions, or when writing helps express thoughts. These options aim to make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into a busy life.
