About Ebony
Dr. Ebony Waller is a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) practicing in Illinois with seven years of experience. She blends practical talk therapy with creativity to help people manage stress, anxiety, and trauma.
Her style is warm and respectful, and she aims to tailor sessions to each person's needs. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Trauma-Focused Therapy to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and develop safer coping skills after difficult experiences.
How Ebony works
Mindfulness Therapy appears in her work to help slow down strong emotions and build steady attention during hard moments. Narrative Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy are also part of her approach when working on life goals and personal stories. Sessions focus on clear, doable steps.
Clients can expect conversations that break problems into manageable parts, short-term goals, and practical tools to use between meetings. The therapist adapts language and exercises so they feel relevant to daily life and responsibilities. Dr.
Waller has a background in creative methods that combine rhythmic expression with mindfulness practices. She brings that creativity into therapy when it fits someone’s goals, such as exploring identity, communication problems, or self-worth. She also helps with career questions and compassion fatigue.
People who reach out will complete a brief questionnaire to match with care and then schedule sessions. Therapy uses a subscription model that can be canceled at any time, and sessions are offered in English to clients in Illinois and internationally.

Online support options
How therapy approaches translate to online care
Online sessions use evidence-based methods in simple, practical ways. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors; it is useful for anxiety, stress, and specific problem patterns. Mindfulness Therapy teaches attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and build steadier focus during stressful moments. Narrative Therapy focuses on the stories people tell about themselves and helps rewrite those stories to support clearer goals and stronger self-belief.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will listen to your goals and preferences, explain options, and try different techniques to see what fits best. That collaboration shapes a plan that can change over time as needs evolve.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different days and routines. Video works well for in-depth conversations and exercises that use visual cues. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or when you prefer not to use video. Live chat and text messaging allow shorter check-ins, quick problem solving, and in-the-moment support between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or travel schedules and to keep progress moving forward.
