Ebony Brushbreaker is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (NV LCSW 10879-C) licensed to practice in Arizona and Nevada with six years of professional experience in the social work field. She holds a PhD in Health Administration and Health Care Leadership with honors (Summa Cum Laude), a Master of Social Work earned with Summa Cum Laude honors, and a Bachelor of Social Work from Colorado State University, also graduated Summa Cum Laude.
Before beginning her career in social services, she served eight years in the United States Army and received an Honorable Discharge as a Staff Sergeant stationed at Fort Bragg, North Carolina, in the 1st of the 159th Aviation Brigade. After completing her MSW, she entered the medical social work field, supporting geriatric clients and adults with complex medical conditions across long term care, hospice, and home health settings.
She has held leadership responsibilities as a Regional Director of Social Services in the long term care discipline and remains committed to expanding access to medically necessary services. An enrolled member of the Sicangu (Rosebud) Lakota Sioux Tribe of South Dakota, she advocates for improved mental health services within Native American and Indigenous communities.
Her clinical style is eclectic, integrating cognitive behavioral therapy, expressive arts, structural approaches, and solution-focused techniques. She describes her work as wholistic, empowering, and attentive to the BIPOC experience, with an emphasis on cultivating the whole person - mind, body, and spirit.
Ebony works with individuals aged 13 and older and with families on a broad range of concerns including depression, anxiety, substance abuse, histories of sexual trauma, grief and loss, adjustment to aging, adjustment to chronic illness, and end-of-life issues. She also provides support for LGBTQ+ related matters, trauma and abuse, motivation, self-esteem, and confidence, drawing on her cultural background and traditional practices to inform treatment.
Many people wonder whether online therapy can truly help. For common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, or major life transitions, online therapy has been shown to be comparably effective to traditional in-person care for most situations.
One major benefit is convenience - clients can connect in the way that best suits them, whether by video call, phone session, live chat, or in-app messaging. This flexibility makes it easier to fit regular therapy into a busy life.
All participating therapists are licensed professionals, and clients have the option to change therapists if they need a different fit. For many people, online therapy offers an accessible, practical route to consistent support and progress.
