Ebony is the best therapist I've ever had? She knows how to guide you to the root of a problem, and really listens!

Reviewed February 2024

Ebony has been my therapist for years and I cannot express how beneficial it has been to have her in my corner. She has guided me through so many downs and ups over the years. She is attentive and really listens but she also challenges you to be the best version of you while teaching you the tools you need to succeed.

More about Ebony

Hello and Welcome! My name is Ebony Clayton, LCSW and I’m thrilled about the opportunity to work with you. If you’re reading this, you have taken the first step towards healing and personal growth. I have training and experience in working with: depression, anxiety, relationship problems/marital difficulties, God-image issues, interaction with the foster care system, infertility, adoption and post adoptive support, and working with adolescents.

I bring a well-rounded perspective into my therapy practice that integrates a wholistic (whole person centered) and eclectic approach, utilizing strategies that consider the interconnectedness of physical, spiritual, and mental/emotional health. Finding balance between these three is an important key to overall well-being.

I use several evidenced based therapies in my practice such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Person Centered Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Solution Focused Therapy.

Every person is unique in themselves and in their set of circumstances therefore I emphasize the key role of the minds cognitions in determining behaviors, and the interconnectedness between a person’s thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. I structure my sessions based on client need while using unconditional positive regard and a nonjudgmental stance.

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, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.

Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

She always thinks of different way for me to think about on how to get through something and helps me realize what is best for me.

Ebony has helped me tremendously. Her knowledge of Scripture is great - whenever we’re discussing an issue, she always knows what Bible verses apply. She is also a great psychological counselor. She is an active listener, capturing the main points when I talk - and sometimes I am not even aware of the main point! She always gives me homework (i.e. “action plan”) and when I do it I feel better. Plus she sends email between appointments to find out how I’m doing. Ebony is great, I would recommend her to anyone!

Ebony is very positive and a great listener who gives you insightful feedback.

I mostly wanted a Christian therapist that would bring me back to the Word and Ebony does that without being overbearing, weird, or self-righteous. We share a love of God and that helps me trust her guidance more. She listens and helps me refocus on God and balance focusing on myself to heal my heart. I absolutely recommend Ebony as a therapist!

I especially appreciate how Ebony asked for specific concerns before our first session. That provided a great starting point. She was helpful in suggesting resources such as The Five Stages of Grief. I had not thought of that! She affirmed that all my feelings are normal. I am grateful for BetterHelp.com and that I was assigned to work with Ebony Clayton. Thank you!

I find my sessions with Ebony as refreshing. She is an attentive listener and able to give insight on my problem. She always makes sure that before ending our session she gives me tools and assignments to work on during the week before the next session. She checks in on me during the week if I haven't gotten around to it. Ebony has a pleasant and calming voice and demeanor that helps soothe the savage beast in me. I have learned so much about the importance of communication with my husband and our relationship has grown toward a more positive outlook during my sessions with Ebony. I would recommend Ebony to others.

Ebony does a great job listening to and understanding not only what I write and say, but what I don't say and her ability to subtly point out what is between the lines of my own dialogue is exactly what I was hoping for (but didn't know it) when deciding to seek therapy.

Ebony is the best counselor I've ever had the pleasure of working with. She is able to pin-point my issues in an objective manner, then follows that assessment up with constructive advice. Boasting a certain air of confidence, it is clear simply by speaking with her that she is a thoroughly experienced professional, and is someone you can trust to work on your problems alongside you.

I've only been on BetterHelp for a two weeks now and my experience so far has been pretty great. I was half expecting this service to be a sham, however I was surprised by the professionalism of my counselor, Ebony Clayton. The service you'd expect from going to an actual Counselor's Office, you can expect from this service provider or from this counselor. I'd give her, 10 out of 10 stars.

Reviewed July 2018

Ebony is amazing! She jumped right in from Day 1 and has been helping me stay focused and solve problems. I love that she keeps me on track, and that she responds every day - even if only to say she acknowledges what I've said and we'll talk about it in a live session. I like that she gives me real, concrete suggestions and gentle pushback even while being my biggest emotional support. I've already recommended BetterHelp to friends and co-workers. The platform is very professional and confidential, and everything just *works*, giving me a lot of confidence in the service.
