More about Ebony
- 7 years' experience
- Female
- LCSW, LICSW
As a licensed therapist in Minnesota, I specialize in supporting individuals navigating complex emotional landscapes. My practice centers on helping clients develop self-love, improve communication, and overcome challenges like social anxiety, trauma, and isolation. I bring a compassionate, culturally responsive approach to addressing mood disorders, relationship dynamics, and personal growth.
My therapeutic work focuses on empowering young adults and mature adults through evidence-based strategies that promote healing and self-discovery. I understand the intricate ways stress, anxiety, and past experiences can impact one's sense of purpose and well-being. By creating a supportive, affirming environment, I help clients build resilience, develop healthier coping mechanisms, and reconnect with their inner strength.
Drawing from extensive experience in mental health support, I'm committed to walking alongside my clients as they explore their unique journeys of healing and transformation. My approach is rooted in empathy, respect, and a deep belief in each individual's capacity for growth and positive change.

About online counseling
- Affordable.
- Pay a low flat fee.
- Convenient.
- Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
- Available now.
- There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.
Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

The best!
Ebony has been very supportive. She's easy to talk to and offers guidance to help me find my own answers.
I love my therapist
Ebony is such an amazing therapist. She's a great listener, and great at giving feedback and things to think about. Wish I would of started therapy earlier.
Ebony is wonderful! She is always spot on with determining the appropriate perspective/“understanding” of what I’m trying to convey (even if it’s hard for me to articulate at times.) Ebony also displays a lot of empathy and compassion. I enjoy each session!
Ebony has great experience in all age ranges. She is easy to talk to and listens. She can restate what you are saying to clarify and help you communicate. I highly recommend Ebony.
Only been working with Ebony for a few weeks now, but she makes me feel, safe, heard, offers new perspectives, and has encouraged me to be my best self.
She is so joyful and empathetic and best of all she listens she’s great so far and she makes me feels very confident sharing my emotions
I truly feel like she understands what I’m trying to get out of this process. It is extremely easy to have a relationship with her and I feel so comfortable talking to her. I was nervous about this process, but she makes me feel much more at ease.
