Congratulations! You've now taken one of many steps toward improving your mental and emotional health! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Illinois, with a personal mission to support the mental and emotional wellness of the clients I serve. I provide genuine support, unconditional validation, as well as authentic empathy. With this, I seek to create a balance by using productive challenges to achieve personal progress toward client-centered goals. I have 5 years of experience in working with people who've experienced complex trauma, abandonment/attachment issues, depression, anxiety, substance abuse, and interpersonal (domestic) violence. I use various evidenced based modalities to create an individualized plan for each of my clients. I believe that every individual deserves the right to thrive, rather than to simply survive!
I look forward to working with you!

About online counseling
- Affordable.
- Pay a low flat fee.
- Convenient.
- Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
- Available now.
- There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.
Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

The best!
Ebony has been very supportive. She's easy to talk to and offers guidance to help me find my own answers.
I love my therapist
Ebony is such an amazing therapist. She's a great listener, and great at giving feedback and things to think about. Wish I would of started therapy earlier.
Ebony is wonderful! She is always spot on with determining the appropriate perspective/“understanding” of what I’m trying to convey (even if it’s hard for me to articulate at times.) Ebony also displays a lot of empathy and compassion. I enjoy each session!
Ebony has great experience in all age ranges. She is easy to talk to and listens. She can restate what you are saying to clarify and help you communicate. I highly recommend Ebony.
Only been working with Ebony for a few weeks now, but she makes me feel, safe, heard, offers new perspectives, and has encouraged me to be my best self.
She is so joyful and empathetic and best of all she listens she’s great so far and she makes me feels very confident sharing my emotions
I truly feel like she understands what I’m trying to get out of this process. It is extremely easy to have a relationship with her and I feel so comfortable talking to her. I was nervous about this process, but she makes me feel much more at ease.
