I really like Dr. McCray-Holmes approach. I feel like I am speaking to someone who have known me for a while....very relaxed approach and I like someone who doesn't just go into the past-the past I have already worked through- but helps me with my coping with the future.

As a licensed therapist in Florida, I specialize in supporting individuals navigating complex life transitions, relationship dynamics, and personal growth. My practice centers on empowering clients to develop deeper self-understanding, heal from past experiences, and cultivate meaningful connections.

With extensive experience in trauma-informed care, I help clients address challenges related to self-esteem, family dynamics, workplace stress, and young adult transitions. My approach is compassionate and collaborative, focusing on communication skills, emotional resilience, and personal empowerment.

I am particularly passionate about supporting women through transformative life stages, helping individuals overcome feelings of isolation, shame, and abandonment. By creating a safe, affirming space, I guide clients toward self-love, purpose, and healing from past wounds.

My therapeutic work honors each person's unique journey, recognizing the strength and wisdom inherent in every individual's story. Together, we'll explore your experiences, build coping strategies, and create pathways toward meaningful, sustainable personal growth.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.

Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

Ebony McCray-Holmes is a consummate professional who clearly possesses a high degree of sagacity and perspicacity. Her sessions have helped me immeasurably.

Ebony is an awesome, caring, even funny, smart, and caring therapist. She makes you think, has a way with redirecting you gently, but gives you ah-ha moments that can make you get that great break-through feeling. Ebony has become like an objective friend that not only listens, but you can feel she cares and wants to help. She has the book and street smarts to help you feel comfortable but taken care of, protected. Therefore, I trust her. She's non-judgmental, she treats you as an equal. Ebony is a no-sugar coated, straight forward person, with a big heart.

Ebony is very personable and easy to talk to. Her family-oriented manner and emphasis on self care has helped me with my growth significantly. Strongly recommend!

Reviewed June 2024

I've only had three sessions so far I have been moved each time, from the very first session and each one since... Ebony has come into our relationship in every way I could hope for. Non judgemental, a partner and teammate on your journey to your goals, an honest voice to help guide you to true growth- she challenges me to take small steps... My sessions with Ebony are like putting on a pair of glasses that allow me to see the big picture of my situation, assess my logical and emotional sides and make a wise conclusion. If you are afraid to be open with someone, or maybe just yourself, Ebony is a trustworthy shoulder to lean on to figure out the small steps necessary for your journey to your best self.
