Background and approach
Her approach draws on therapies that teach skills and encourage present-moment awareness. Clients learn to notice patterns, try new responses, and set small, achievable goals. Raven also works with issues tied to family history, relationship conflict, and grief.
People who come to her often want help with impulse control, substance concerns, or overlapping conditions like ADHD and mood instability. She helps break down complex problems into concrete steps and strategies. The focus is on what feels doable for each person.
Raven has six years of clinical experience as an LMHC. She offers sessions in English and practices in New York. Her style is collaborative and straightforward, aiming to help people regain balance and move toward goals that matter to them.
Approaches that translate well to online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people clarify what matters to them and take small steps toward those values while learning to live with difficult thoughts. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on practical strategies to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and can reduce anxiety and low mood through skills and practice. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices that lower reactivity and improve emotional awareness, useful for stress and impulse control.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Raven will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their needs, goals, and daily routine. She adapts techniques so someone can try them between sessions and see what helps most.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video allows face-to-face discussion and practicing skills together. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is low, and text or chat can work for quick check-ins or brief coaching between meetings. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy life while keeping the focus on practical progress.
