Ebony Shoemo

Ebony Shoemo is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Georgia who focuses on helping people manage anger and related concerns. She offers calm, direct support for parents and adults facing stress, anxiety, trauma, ADHD challenges, and relationship or family tensions. Her style centers on listening first and helping people find practical steps forward.

She earned a Master of Science in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Troy University. Over five years she has worked in community mental health and in public schools. That background means she is used to helping people from many different backgrounds and life situations.

In sessions she follows a person-centered stance where the client leads the work and the therapist follows. She also uses cognitive behavioral strategies to identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is part of her toolbox for building values-based action and emotional flexibility.

Clients can expect straightforward skill work such as relaxation techniques, mindfulness, and social skills practice alongside talk therapy. She often helps people sort through parenting stress, blended family concerns, and the fallout from trauma or discrimination. Her approach aims to meet daily life needs, not just symptom lists.

Outside work she identifies as a wife, mother, and veteran. She enjoys hiking, exercise, and low-key movie nights with family. That practical, down-to-earth perspective shows up in the way she helps people identify attainable next steps.

How ACT, CBT, and Person-Centered Work Online

Ebony often blends Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy with a person-centered stance to meet real-life needs. ACT helps people notice inner struggles and choose actions that match their values, which can reduce the hold of anger and avoidance. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy targets specific thoughts and behaviors, offering tools to change patterns that feed anxiety, panic, or low mood. The person-centered approach keeps the client in charge of priorities and pace, so sessions follow what matters most to the individual.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. The therapist will collaborate with each client to decide which methods fit their goals, comfort level, and daily routines. That means checking in regularly and adjusting strategies as progress unfolds.
