Ebony Clayton, LCSW

Ebony Clayton, LCSW (Licensed Clinical Social Worker), offers compassionate, individualized care for people coping with depression, anxiety, relationship and marital difficulties, and questions about their God-image. She brings training and experience in work with the foster care system, infertility, adoption and post-adoptive support, and adolescents.

Her practice takes a whole-person centered and eclectic approach, acknowledging the connections among physical, spiritual, and emotional health and helping clients seek greater balance across those areas. Ebony draws on evidence-based methods such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Person-Centered Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Solution-Focused Therapy to build practical strategies tailored to each person.

Sessions are organized around the individual needs and circumstances of the person in therapy, with attention to how thoughts shape feelings and behaviors. She emphasizes an attitude of unconditional positive regard and a nonjudgmental stance while collaborating with clients to promote growth, coping skills, and meaningful change.

Approaches That Guide Online Work

Ebony often uses Client-Centered Therapy to create a trusting environment where the person s own goals and values drive the pace of work. This approach focuses on empathy, listening, and supporting the individual as they explore their priorities and make choices that fit their life.

She also applies Cognitive Behavioral Therapy - a practical method that helps identify unhelpful thoughts and habits and replace them with strategies that reduce stress and improve daily functioning. CBT is commonly used for anxiety, depression, sleep difficulties, and stress-related concerns.

Finding the right approach is part of the process and is worked out collaboratively. Ebony will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels most useful, then adjust methods over time so the therapy fits the person rather than forcing a single model.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, making it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules and to access care from different locations. These options support continuity of care and make it simpler to maintain regular contact with a licensed professional as therapeutic work progresses.
