About Raven
Raven O'Rourke is a licensed clinical social worker who brings eight years of practice to sessions. She holds a Master of Social Work and a Master of Public Health from Tulane University. Raven focuses on helping people manage anxiety, mood concerns, and relationship or family struggles in everyday language.
She has spent years supporting people living with HIV through mood disorders, trauma, and family conflict. Raven listens with empathy and gives practical feedback and suggestions when useful. Her approach aims to help people build coping strategies that work in their daily lives.
Raven draws on cognitive-behavioral ideas that look at thoughts and behaviors, as well as Client-Centered Therapy rooted in Rogerian principles and solution-focused work that targets small, actionable changes. Sessions emphasize what is happening now and steps clients can try between meetings.
She offers live phone or video sessions on weekdays, with very limited weekend options, and typically replies to texts during weekdays. Her Tennessee LCSW license means she works with people who live in Tennessee.
Raven keeps a direct and non-judgmental style. She often helps people dealing with panic disorder and panic attacks, OCD and obsessions, depression, grief, stress, and challenges around intimacy, identity, or non-traditional relationship styles. If you want clear ideas and steady support, she may be a good fit.
How Raven's Approaches Translate to Online Care
Raven uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice thinking patterns and try specific behavior changes that reduce anxiety and panic symptoms. CBT gives simple tools to challenge unhelpful thoughts and practice different responses in the moment.She also draws from Client-Centered Therapy, which centers the conversation on the person's goals and experiences. This approach emphasizes empathetic listening and collaboration so the person feels heard while exploring options for change.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Raven will collaborate with each person to choose strategies that match their goals, needs, and comfort level. She explains options, checks in about what helps, and adjusts the plan over time so it stays useful.
Raven offers live phone and video sessions on weekdays with very limited weekend times; please confirm current session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a workday, avoid travel time, or choose a shorter phone check-in when that works better. These formats also let people practice strategies in daily life and bring those experiences into the next session for discussion.
