About Ebony

Ebony Clayton, LCSW, blends practical, person-centered therapy with goal-focused tools. She welcomes parents who are juggling stress and relationship strain. Sessions focus on real-life changes you can use at home.

Ebony speaks plainly and works to make therapy fit each family's daily life. She has ten years of experience and uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, Narrative Therapy, and Solution-Focused Therapy. That means she pays attention to how thoughts, stories, and small steps affect mood and behavior.

Background and approach

She helps people notice unhelpful thinking, try different actions, and build new routines. Ebony often addresses parenting concerns, family tensions, grief, and issues like anxiety, depression, sleep troubles, and anger. She also brings experience with adoption and foster care, codependency, divorce and separation, forgiveness work, veteran and armed forces issues, infertility, and women’s concerns.

These areas inform how she structures sessions. Her style is warm and nonjudgmental. She listens for each person’s perspective and then helps set concrete, manageable goals.

Sessions typically include talking through patterns, practicing new responses, and planning small experiments to try between meetings. Ebony practices in Nevada and holds an LCSW - Licensed Clinical Social Worker. Sessions are conducted in English and offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging.

The format aims to make support easier to fit into busy family schedules.

How her approaches translate to online family support

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building trust. The therapist offers a respectful, nonjudgmental space and follows the client's pace to address parenting stress, relationship worries, or grief. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns; it is useful for anxiety, sleep problems, mood concerns, and everyday parenting challenges.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with you about goals and preferences, then try strategies that fit your needs. That might mean using CBT skills one week and narrative or solution-focused steps the next, with adjustments based on what helps most.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options offer flexibility for busy families, letting parents fit sessions around school, work, and caregiving. They also make it easier to maintain continuity when schedules change or travel is needed, while still focusing on practical tools and steps to carry into daily life.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.

Narrative Therapy

Looking at the story you have come to tell about yourself, and where it came from. The work is in separating the problem from your identity and finding accounts that fit you better.
