About Ebony
Ebony McCray-Holmes is a licensed marriage and family therapist in Florida with 14 years of clinical experience. She focuses on helping people navigate relationship stress, parenting challenges, grief, and big life changes. Ebony emphasizes straightforward support that aims to make day-to-day life easier for clients.
Her work often centers on improving communication, managing strong emotions like anger or anxiety, and rebuilding self-esteem after painful experiences. She draws on practical, goal-oriented methods to help people find small, useful changes that add up.
Background and approach
Sessions typically include concrete tools and short-term strategies clients can try between meetings. Ebony has a strong interest in trauma and abuse recovery and supports people dealing with post-traumatic stress and the fallout from past wounds. She also helps those facing workplace stress, issues tied to family of origin, and challenges in blended family situations.
Parents can expect focused help on parenting stress and family dynamics. She pays special attention to women's issues, feelings of abandonment, shame or isolation, and the transition into young adulthood. Her style is collaborative and empathetic - she listens, asks clear questions, and works with clients to set realistic goals.
Progress is measured in practical steps rather than abstract aims. Ebony practices using approaches that prioritize solutions and short-term change while honoring each person's story. She guides people toward greater self-love, clearer boundaries, and stronger day-to-day coping skills.
Appointments are offered in formats that fit varied schedules and needs.

Solution-focused care and flexible online sessions
Solution-Focused Therapy focuses on identifying practical next steps rather than only processing problems. It helps people set short-term goals, try small changes, and notice what works so they can build momentum toward better routines and relationships. This approach is useful for parenting challenges, communication problems, and coping with life transitions.Ebony will work with each person to find the right mix of methods. Deciding which approaches to use is a collaborative process based on the client’s needs, goals, and preferences. She discusses options openly and adjusts the plan as progress is made.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives. Video works well for focused conversations and skill practice. Phone sessions can be a good option when less bandwidth is available or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging let clients share reflections between meetings and get brief support without scheduling a full session. These options offer flexibility so people can keep work and family commitments while pursuing steady progress.
