About Raven
Raven O'Rourke is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Tennessee with eight years of clinical experience. She has a Master of Social Work and a Master of Public Health from Tulane University. Her practice addresses mood disorders, trauma, family conflict, and issues related to living with HIV.
Raven draws on cognitive-behavioral methods, client-centered (Rogerian) ideas, and solution-focused strategies. She emphasizes current concerns and practical coping strategies. Sessions include listening, direct feedback, and collaborative planning rather than long-term theory work.
Work often centers on mood and anxiety symptoms, trauma and abuse, grief, and relationship or family strain. Raven also works with people facing substance use and addiction concerns, stress and compassion fatigue, and sexual culture topics such as BDSM and kink. She lists polyamory and non-monogamous relationships among focus areas.
Her approach is straightforward and nonjudgmental. She helps people identify small, usable changes and tracks progress against clear goals. Motivational interviewing and solution-focused techniques are used when a person wants concrete steps or behavior change.
Raven provides live phone and video sessions primarily on weekdays, with very limited weekend options. She typically responds via text during weekdays and less often on weekends. Her license only allows work with people who live in Tennessee, and sessions are conducted in English.

How Raven uses evidence-based approaches in remote sessions
Client-centered work means the therapist listens closely and follows what matters most to the person. This approach helps people clarify goals and feel heard before moving into strategies. Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors; it is often used for anxiety, depression, panic, and mood disorders. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing skills to reduce stress and manage intense emotions. Choosing an approach is collaborative. Raven will help a person decide which methods suit their goals and preferences. That may mean starting with CBT for specific symptoms, using client-centered talk to sort priorities, or adding mindfulness exercises for stress management. The biography lists live phone and video sessions rather than in-person only care. Confirm the exact session formats when booking if you need a particular option. Practical benefits of remote sessions include fitting appointments into a weekday routine, shorter check-ins when time is limited, avoiding travel, and using phone sessions when bandwidth or being on camera is difficult. Licensed professionals can adapt these approaches to work in scheduled remote sessions, and Raven will discuss what fits your situation during the first meetings.Sheet 3
