Ebony Shoemo, LPC

Ebony Shoemo is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Georgia who focuses on relationship and family-related concerns alongside individual struggles. She meets people where they are and helps them take practical steps toward change. Her style centers on listening first and shaping sessions around each person's goals and pace.

Ebony draws on five years of clinical work in community mental health and school-based settings. She has supported children, adolescents, and adults from diverse backgrounds and brings that experience into sessions. Her background as a veteran and a parent informs how she thinks about stress, roles, and family life.

In sessions she uses client-centered methods that let people lead the conversation while offering structure when it helps. She often combines Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, mindfulness, and solution-focused techniques to address specific problems like anxiety, ADHD, or anger. Sessions can include practical skills practice and small experiments to try between meetings.

Ebony also helps people facing trauma, post-traumatic stress, and crisis recovery. She pays attention to cultural and multicultural concerns, prejudice and discrimination, and issues common to first responders and veterans. The aim is to strengthen coping, reduce distress, and clarify next steps.

Outside of work she is a wife, mother, and veteran who enjoys hiking, exercise, and quiet movie nights. To begin, she asks people to share their goals so sessions can be tailored to real-life needs and schedules.

How her approaches fit with online therapy

Ebony commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in ways that translate well to online work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and values-driven action; it can help with anxiety, stress, and making values-based choices. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. She will work collaboratively to choose methods that match a person's goals, needs, and preferences. That conversation can include testing a technique and adjusting based on what feels useful in day-to-day life.

The original biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow practice of skills in real-life settings. Some formats also allow shorter check-ins or audio-only sessions when that better suits a person's schedule or bandwidth. Talk with the therapist about what will work best for practical needs and goals.
