About Ebony
Ebony Benjamin is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 28 years of experience who helps people navigate painful and confusing life moments. She frames therapy as a partnership where practical steps and honest conversation help people regain balance. Ebony speaks plainly and aims to make sessions feel manageable, not overwhelming, for busy lives.
Her work focuses on common life stresses such as relationship strain, caregiving burdens, job pressure, mood disorders, and the fallout from trauma and abuse.
Background and approach
She also addresses more specific concerns like body image, abandonment, guilt and shame, and feelings of isolation. Clients can expect a direct, caring approach that centers their goals and values. Ebony draws on several counseling methods to tailor each conversation to the person in the room.
She uses Narrative Therapy to help people reframe their life stories and find different meanings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy provide tools for managing thoughts, emotions, and actions day to day. Sessions emphasize clear goals and real-world strategies that fit into everyday life.
She talks through communication skills, boundaries, self-care routines, and ways to handle workplace stress. The aim is steady, practical change rather than quick fixes. As a single parent, Ebony understands the demands of juggling roles and self-care.
That perspective informs a warm, nonjudgmental manner in session. To begin, a prospective client will follow the platform process to match and schedule with her based on availability.
