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. Raven focuses on mood disorders, trauma, relationship and family concerns, and support for people living with HIV.
Her approach is practical and focused on current problems. She uses cognitive-behavioral ideas alongside client-centered and solution-focused ways of working. That means sessions often look at unhelpful thoughts and small changes people can try between meetings. Raven offers feedback and concrete strategies as well as listening to what is most pressing for the client.
Raven commonly helps with anxiety, depression, stress, grief, and burnout related to caregiving or work. She also works with issues around intimacy, sexual identity and practices, addictions, and relationship difficulties. Family of origin issues and family conflict are part of her regular caseload.
Sessions tend to be straightforward and practical. Clients can expect goal-focused conversations, reflection on patterns from the past, and development of coping tools. Raven communicates by text during weekdays and provides regular contact when needed.
Her Tennessee license limits work to people who live in that state. She provides live phone or video sessions on weekdays and has very limited weekend availability. Before booking, confirm current session options and scheduling details.
How Raven uses approaches in remote sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting so clients can make sense of their experience. This approach helps when someone needs a calm, non-directive space to talk through feelings and family patterns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviors and introduces small experiments and exercises to reduce anxiety or low mood. That can be useful for panic, depression, and obsessive thinking. Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on goals and practical steps that move a client toward concrete changes rather than rehashing every detail of the past.Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. Raven will discuss goals and preferences and will try approaches that match what the client brings. She frames decisions together with the client and adjusts tactics based on what helps in real life.
Her listed practice offers live phone or video sessions on weekdays with very limited weekend times. When session formats are unspecified it is best to confirm available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a workday, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time so people can use breaks more effectively.
