About Ebony

Dr. Ebony Waller uses an integrative, skills-focused approach rooted in cognitive behavioral principles to help clients address stress, anxiety, trauma, and related concerns.

Background and approach

She combines evidence-informed practices with creative methods to tailor treatment to each persons experiences and goals. Her work emphasizes practical strategies for managing symptoms while exploring personal values, career concerns, communication patterns, and building self-esteem.

With seven years of clinical practice as an LMFT licensed in Illinois, she draws on several therapeutic lenses including mindfulness, narrative, solution-focused, and trauma-focused work. She also incorporates novel techniques she developed, blending mindfulness with vocal hip hop elements to support engagement and expression.

Dr. Waller approaches care with sensitivity and compassion, shaping conversations and treatment plans to reflect each clients strengths and needs.

She accepts international clients and offers multiple online session formats for ongoing support.

Integrating therapeutic approaches for online care

Dr. Waller often draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which helps identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors through practical skill-building and structured techniques to reduce symptoms like anxiety and stress. She also uses Mindfulness Therapy to cultivate present-moment awareness, breathing practices, and acceptance skills that support emotion regulation and resilience.

Navigating the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist works with each client to explore goals, preferences, and responses to different methods, adjusting the plan over time so treatment aligns with what feels most helpful and relevant.

Online sessions are offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different schedules and communication styles. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives, support continuity when travel or relocation occurs, and allow clients to choose the interaction style that best supports their progress.
