About Raven
Raven O'Rourke is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Tennessee with eight years of practice experience. She works with people who are dealing with mood disorders, trauma, family conflict, and challenges related to living with HIV. She focuses on current, practical problems and helps clients build skills to manage day-to-day stressors.
Raven completed a Master of Social Work and a Master of Public Health at Tulane University in New Orleans. Her background combines clinical and public health perspectives, which she uses to help clients manage health-related and interpersonal concerns. She works from a pragmatic standpoint, favoring clear strategies over abstract theory.
Her approach draws from cognitive-behavioral methods, client-centered (Rogerian) ideas, and solution-focused work. In sessions she will listen closely, offer straightforward feedback, and suggest concrete steps clients can try between meetings. She aims to help people develop coping tools for anxiety, depression, panic, and mood fluctuations.
Raven has experience supporting people with issues around intimacy, sexual subcultures such as BDSM and kink, non-monogamous relationships, grief, and compassion fatigue. She also assists people facing life changes like divorce, disasters, and shifts in family roles. Her practice includes attention to shame, guilt, and family-of-origin problems.
Sessions are offered to people living in Tennessee. She offers weekday phone and video sessions, with very limited weekend times, and communicates by text during weekdays for brief follow-up and scheduling.
BHow sessions work
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what matters to the client. In practice this means Raven will prioritize understanding your concerns and encourage you to lead the conversation while offering feedback and validation.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions. Sessions that use CBT tend to include practical exercises and homework designed to change unhelpful patterns, which can help with anxiety, panic, depression, and OCD symptoms.
Solution-focused work concentrates on specific, short-term goals and the steps that move you toward them. This approach is useful when you want clear, concrete strategies for coping with family conflict, life changes, or relationship challenges.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss options, try methods that match your needs, and adjust plans based on your goals and preferences. The process is collaborative and practical rather than prescriptive.
The original profile notes weekday phone and video sessions with very limited weekend times. If you plan to use online sessions, confirm the current session formats and scheduling options before booking. Online appointments can make it easier to fit sessions into busy days, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time so therapy fits daily life better.
