About Ebony
Ebony McCray-Holmes is a licensed marriage and family therapist practicing in Florida. She brings 14 years of experience helping people navigate relationship strain, major life changes, and emotional pain.
Background and approach
Her work focuses on clear goals and practical steps that fit each person's day-to-day life. She uses a collaborative style in sessions and listens for what matters most to the client.
Conversations often include communication skills, setting boundaries, and ways to manage stress and anxiety. Sessions move at a steady, problem-solving pace when clients need concrete tools, and slow down to process emotions when healing from past hurts.
Ebony has a strong emphasis on trauma-related concerns and on issues that affect self-worth. She helps people who feel isolated, ashamed, or stuck because of abandonment, family conflict, or past abuse.
She also supports those facing workplace strain, career doubts, and transitions into new life stages. Parents and young adults can expect practical guidance about parenting challenges and life direction, along with techniques for managing anger and grief.
Her approach blends short-term problem solving with attention to deeper patterns that keep problems recurring. Sessions may include talking through recent events, practicing new ways to communicate, and setting small experiments to try between meetings.
Ebony aims to help clients build steady coping skills and clearer plans for change. If someone wants a straightforward, compassionate therapist who focuses on real-world progress, her style may be a good fit.
How Solution-Focused Work Fits into Online Therapy
Solution-Focused Therapy focuses on concrete steps you can try right away. It spotlights your strengths and what already works, then builds small, achievable goals to move forward. This approach is helpful for relationship problems, stress, and life transitions where clear next steps are useful.Ebony also blends trauma-informed attention into sessions by allowing space to process difficult memories while keeping an eye on practical coping skills. That mix helps when people need both emotional processing and doable changes in daily life. Choosing the right approach is collaborative - the therapist will talk with the client about goals and tailor methods to match their needs and preferences.
Online formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction for skill practice and emotional work. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging offer brief check-ins, quick problem-solving, or support between longer sessions. Together these options provide flexibility and make it possible to keep therapy consistent during life changes.
