About Ebony
Ebony Clayton is an LCSW (Licensed Clinical Social Worker) with 10 years of clinical experience in Nevada. She focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, self-esteem, depression, grief, parenting, and related issues that affect daily life. She also addresses adoption and foster care matters, codependency, divorce and separation, forgiveness, veteran and armed forces issues, intimacy concerns, sleep problems, anger, and career stress.
Her approach centers on practical changes in thinking and behavior. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and test new responses. She also draws on client-centered and narrative ideas to listen to each person’s story and clarify values. Solution-Focused techniques are used to identify small, concrete steps toward change.
Sessions are organized around what a person needs that week. That can include setting short-term goals, practicing a new skill, or reviewing what worked between sessions. Ebony highlights how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect and helps people try different ways of responding to stressful situations.
She brings experience with adoption, foster care interaction, infertility, post-adoptive support, and adolescent concerns into her work. That background informs questions and goal-setting during sessions without defining the whole process.
Ebony emphasizes a nonjudgmental stance and unconditional positive regard while keeping sessions practical. People can expect structured conversation, collaborative goal-setting, and homework that focuses on small, achievable changes.
How she uses CBT, client-centered, and solution-focused methods online
Ebony uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice patterns in thinking that keep problems going, and then to try different responses in everyday situations. CBT sessions often include clear goals, short practice tasks between meetings, and review of what changed. She pairs that with client-centered work that focuses on listening and understanding a person's story. Narrative elements help people separate problems from their identity and reconsider which stories they want to carry forward. Solution-Focused techniques keep conversations practical by identifying small, concrete next steps that can be tried right away. Choosing the best approach is part of the work. Ebony will discuss goals, preferences, and what has helped or not helped before, and then propose a way to proceed. That decision is collaborative and can shift as needs change. Confirm the platform and session formats before booking since specific formats were not listed in the biography. Online options can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life - for example, shorter check-ins during a lunch break, not needing travel time, or picking a quieter time of day. Discussing preferred session lengths and pacing is part of the first appointment so therapy can fit practical routines.Areas of expertise
