About Raven O'Rourke

Raven O'Rourke is a licensed clinical social worker and public health professional who brings a practical, empathetic approach to helping people navigate mood disorders, trauma, family conflict, and life changes. She earned a Master of Social Work and a Master of Public Health from Tulane University in New Orleans and has spent the past eight years specializing in work with people living with HIV and others coping with mood and trauma-related concerns. Raven draws from cognitive-behavioral, Rogerian client-centered, and solution-focused models to concentrate on present concerns and build concrete strategies for coping and growth.

In session she focuses on listening empathically while offering feedback and structured suggestions when appropriate, with an emphasis on developing tools clients can use between meetings. Former clients have described her as straightforward, non-judgmental, and attentive. Raven offers live phone and video sessions on weekdays, with very limited weekend availability, and typically responds via text throughout weekday hours with less frequent communication on weekends.

She holds the LCSW credential - Licensed Clinical Social Worker - which indicates specialized training and a license to provide clinical social work services. Her license restricts practice to people who live in Tennessee. Raven is not currently accepting new clients.

Therapeutic Approaches and Accessible Online Care

Raven draws on client-centered therapy to prioritize empathic listening and to help clients explore values, identity, and relationship concerns in a non-directive way. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy - CBT - is used to identify unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and to develop practical skills for managing anxiety, depression, and mood symptoms. She also incorporates mindfulness techniques to help people cultivate present-moment awareness and coping strategies for stress and emotional dysregulation.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Raven works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods align with their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adjusts strategies as progress and circumstances evolve.

Online therapy offers flexibility that fits different schedules and needs. Raven provides support through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, allowing people to access care from home or while traveling and to maintain continuity of treatment despite busy lives. These options make it easier to integrate therapy into daily routines and to choose the format that feels most comfortable for each person.
