About Ebony

Ebony Brushbreaker is an LCSW who draws on mindfulness to help people calm racing thoughts and find steady ground. She uses simple, present-moment practices alongside therapy to help clients notice what matters and make changes that fit their life.

She brings seven years of clinical experience and a longer professional history in social work to her sessions. Her background includes medical social work and leadership roles in long-term care, hospice, and home health. That experience informs how she supports people facing chronic illness, grief, and major life transitions.

Ebony commonly helps people dealing with depression, low self-esteem, grief, trauma and abuse, and LGBT-related concerns. She also addresses issues like abandonment, body image, caregiver stress, money worries, and feelings of isolation. Conversations focus on practical steps, emotional processing, and building daily routines that feel sustainable.

Her approach mixes Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, attachment-based ideas, client-centered listening, and cognitive behavioral tools. Sessions are down-to-earth and paced to each person’s needs, with exercises and reflections to try between meetings.

Ebony honors her Native American heritage and brings cultural awareness into her work with BIPOC clients. She emphasizes the whole person - mind, body, and spirit - and helps people connect to values and purpose as part of healing.

How mindfulness and acceptance translate to online therapy

Mindfulness Therapy helps people learn to notice thoughts and sensations without getting swept away by them; it can reduce reactivity and improve focus during stressful moments. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) emphasizes values and small committed actions, and it can be useful for depression, anxiety, and feeling stuck. Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to relationship patterns and how early bonds shape current reactions, which can help when trust or connection are central concerns.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels useful. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust plans as progress unfolds, keeping the process collaborative and flexible.

The original biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm the available options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into daily life, shorten travel time, and allow check-ins between appointments when needed. It also lets people use shorter or more frequent meetings for skills practice, or avoid camera use when that helps them focus. Licensed professionals can adapt mindfulness, ACT, and attachment-focused work to remote settings so exercises and values-based steps translate into everyday routines.

These summaries are based on the profile information listed on BetterHelp. Listing mindfulness as an approach does not mean a therapist holds a formal mindfulness training or certificate.
