Ebony Benjamin

Ebony Benjamin is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 28 years of experience helping people manage major life stressors. She practices in Florida and focuses on practical support for people feeling overwhelmed by work, relationships, caregiving, mood concerns, or grief. Her approach centers on partnership and real-world strategies rather than judgement.

She has long experience working with adults living with mental illness and substance use challenges, as well as with caregivers and people coping with heavy stress. Sessions aim to identify what is getting in the way day to day and create manageable steps to reduce overwhelm. Therapy is presented as a collaborative effort to protect physical and mental health.

Ebony blends approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Client-Centered care to help people clarify values, change unhelpful thinking, and build skills for difficult moments. She also draws on Motivational Interviewing and Narrative Therapy to support decision making and reframe personal stories.

She understands caregiving strain and the juggling required by parenting and work. She describes self-care as practical and personal - small habits, hobbies, and routines that make life steadier. The overall aim is to help people move forward, find relief, and reconnect with what matters.

How therapeutic approaches shape online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and reconnect with what matters. It uses acceptance and value-based action to guide decisions when life feels chaotic. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing patterns of thinking and behavior that increase stress or low mood. It often involves practical exercises and skill practice between sessions. Client-Centered Therapy centers the person’s own goals and experience, offering listening, empathy, and support so people can find their own direction.

Choosing the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work together with the client to see which methods fit their goals, preferences, and daily life. That collaborative process may combine techniques from different approaches to meet changing needs.

Specific session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current online options before booking. Many people find online sessions make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Online work can support skill practice, guided exercises, and conversations about relationships, caregiving strain, career stress, and coping with life changes.
