About Raven

Raven Brown-McKinney greets people with a straightforward, calm approach. She is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) and a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Texas. She aims to help people who feel stuck by focusing on practical steps and clear goals in sessions.

Raven listens first and helps clients name what matters most to them. She uses tools from cognitive behavioral and mindfulness-based approaches to help people change unhelpful thoughts and learn steady coping skills.

Background and approach

Sessions are collaborative and paced to fit each person’s needs. Her background includes six years working as an LCSW alongside broader social work experience. That mix informs how she balances coaching-style goal work with traditional clinical supports.

She draws on acceptance and commitment techniques to help clients connect with values and take small, meaningful actions. Common concerns she addresses include anxiety, stress, depression, parenting challenges, relationship and communication problems, grief, trauma and abuse, bipolar mood concerns, ADHD, and caregiver stress. She also supports people dealing with career questions, life transitions, and feelings of isolation.

Raven offers practical skill-building in areas like emotion regulation, communication, and problem solving. She helps people develop plans for manageable change and checks progress as goals shift. The focus is on usable strategies clients can try between sessions.

Sessions are offered in English and conducted online through a mix of formats. People start by completing a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a time that fits their life.

Online support

How Raven Uses Therapy Methods Online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people clarify what matters to them and take small steps toward those values. Online ACT sessions often focus on identifying values, noticing hard thoughts, and practicing actions that match personal goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at patterns of thinking and behavior and teaches concrete tools for changing them; it can be used to reduce anxiety, manage low mood, and tackle unhelpful habits. Mindfulness Therapy emphasizes simple awareness skills to reduce reactivity and improve emotion regulation, often through brief in-session practices and short exercises to try between meetings.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Raven will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and the problems they want to solve. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress is made or new priorities appear.

Online therapy offers flexibility for a busy life. Video calls provide face-to-face conversation and guided exercises. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging let people check in between sessions, do quick coaching-style work, or fit shorter check-ins into a workday. These options make it simpler to keep therapy consistent while balancing school, work, or family demands.
