Ebony Shoemo, LPC

Ebony Shoemo is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Georgia who helps people facing trauma, anxiety, parenting stress, and related concerns. She speaks plainly and works with each person to find the next practical step. Her approach centers on the person in front of her and their goals.

Ebony holds a Master’s in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Troy University and has five years of clinical experience. That work includes roles in community mental health and as a school-based mental health therapist. She has worked with children, adolescents, and adults from varied backgrounds and often sees trauma, PTSD, and mood concerns.

In sessions she leans on client-centered methods that let the client lead the pace and focus. She also uses cognitive behavioral techniques to identify thinking patterns and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify values and take small steps toward them. Expect practical tools such as relaxation exercises and mindfulness practice when useful.

Ebony describes therapy as a collaborative process of digging into what matters and what gets in the way. She emphasizes treating the whole person and addressing life stressors like parenting challenges, anger, and adjustment after loss or change. First responder and veteran issues are among her additional focus areas.

Outside of work she is a wife, mother, and veteran who enjoys hiking, exercise, and quiet movie nights with family. She invites clients to start by identifying one small, meaningful change they want to try.

Using ACT, CBT, and Client-Centered Methods Online

Ebony works from a mix of approaches that fit different needs. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck, then identify personal values and take small actions toward them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps spot unhelpful thinking and test new behaviors to reduce anxiety and improve mood. Client-Centered Therapy puts the person leading the session so the therapist follows the client’s pace and priorities.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Ebony collaborates with each person to decide which methods feel most useful. She adjusts techniques over time based on the client’s goals, feedback, and what is or isn’t helping.
