About Raven
Raven O'Rourke is a licensed clinical social worker with an LCSW and eight years of experience. She earned a Master of Social Work and a Master of Public Health from Tulane University. Raven focuses on helping people handle mood disorders, trauma, grief, relationship strain, and stress related to life changes.
Her approach is practical and direct. She listens with empathy and then works with people to build strategies that fit their day-to-day lives. Sessions emphasize current concerns and concrete steps to feel steadier and more capable.
Raven commonly uses cognitive-behavioral techniques, client-centered methods, and solution-focused work. She offers feedback, skills practice, and short-term goals to address anxiety, depression, panic, and obsessive thoughts. She also supports people facing issues around identity, intimacy, kink and alternative sex culture, and challenges related to HIV/AIDS.
She provides live phone and video sessions on weekdays, with very limited weekend slots. Raven’s license permits working only with people living in Tennessee, so sessions are arranged for that region. Messaging responses are typically available by text during weekdays and less often on weekends.
Many people seek her help for recovery after trauma, coping with disasters, managing compassion fatigue, and navigating relationship or family conflicts. If you want practical strategies and a straightforward, nonjudgmental listener, Raven may be a good fit. To begin, follow the service’s matching and scheduling steps.
Therapeutic approaches that translate well to online work
Client-centered work emphasizes listening and reflecting back what matters to you. In practice this means the therapist helps people name their priorities and keeps sessions focused on what the person needs most. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, behaviors, and feelings, then uses practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, panic, and obsessive thinking. Mindfulness therapy builds simple awareness skills to reduce reactivity and improve mood; exercises might include brief attention practices and grounding techniques to use between sessions.Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. Raven collaborates with each person to test methods and adjust based on what helps. She discusses goals, reviews how techniques feel in daily life, and changes the plan if something isn’t working well for that person.
If you are considering online therapy, confirm available session options before booking. Raven offers live phone and video sessions on weekdays with limited weekend times. Online work can make scheduling easier, let sessions fit around work or family responsibilities, and allow brief check-ins without travel. Ask about messaging rhythms and scheduling when you complete the matching questionnaire so sessions align with your routine.
