Ebony Shoemo, LPC - Therapist in Georgia

About Ebony

Ebony Shoemo is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Georgia who focuses on family and parenting concerns among a range of related issues. She speaks plainly and meets people where they are, helping parents and caregivers who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or worn down. Sessions aim to find practical steps so families can move forward one change at a time.

Ebony takes a person-centered approach that keeps the client's priorities at the center of each session.

Background and approach

She draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to bring simple tools into everyday life. Those tools often include coping strategies for anxiety, stress, and anger, and ways to improve communication and routine at home. Her background includes work in community mental health and as a school-based mental health therapist.

Over five years she has supported children, adolescents, and adults from diverse backgrounds. This experience informs her work with trauma, ADHD, mood concerns, PTSD, and parenting challenges. Ebony also brings life experience as a wife, mother, and veteran.

She understands how caregiving, work, and past service can affect daily life and parenting. In sessions she uses grounded, straightforward language and practical exercises you can try between meetings. Parents can expect a collaborative process that honors their goals.

The work is paced to fit family life and focuses on clear, doable changes that help reduce stress and improve connections at home.

Therapeutic approaches and online options for families

Ebony commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which helps people clarify their values and take small, meaningful actions even when emotions are difficult. ACT is often useful for stress, anxiety, and coping with life changes. Client-Centered Therapy is another core approach she uses; it focuses on listening, empathy, and following the client's lead so parents feel heard and understood. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to identify unhelpful thoughts and try practical behavior changes that reduce anxiety, improve mood, or change patterns at home.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist collaborates with each client to pick methods that match goals, parenting needs, and daily routines. Adjustments are made over time so the techniques fit real family life rather than a rigid plan.

Online therapy in this practice offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions around childcare, school schedules, and work. Online formats also allow parents to try tools in the moment between sessions and bring questions back to therapy for problem solving and follow up.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

Less about arguing with difficult thoughts, more about loosening their grip and acting on what matters to you anyway. Values and committed action carry the work, which suits conversation at a distance.

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.
