About Raven
Raven Brown-McKinney is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) and a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Texas. She has six years of experience as a therapist and works with adults on common struggles like anxiety, depression, stress, and parenting concerns. Raven uses straightforward, practical support to help people manage day-to-day pressures and make changes that matter for their lives.
She focuses on helping people who are dealing with relationship and family strain, career stress, grief, trauma and abuse, and attention-related challenges.
Background and approach
Raven also addresses caregiver stress, compassion fatigue, fertility-related issues, and difficulties with anger or impulsivity. Parents who are feeling overwhelmed can find clear strategies for coping and problem solving. Raven draws from several collaborative approaches in session.
She blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and mindfulness techniques. Sessions emphasize simple skills you can try between meetings and practical ways to change unhelpful patterns. Her style is warm and direct.
Clients can expect to set clear goals together and practice tools for managing emotions, improving communication, and reducing stress. Raven frames progress as small, steady steps rather than quick fixes. Sessions are offered in English and delivered via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging.
Getting started involves a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a time that fits the client's needs.

Therapeutic approaches and online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It is useful for stress, anxiety, and life transitions because it focuses on what matters most and on small, consistent steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical skills to change patterns that cause distress. CBT can help with depression, panic, and worry. Client-Centered Therapy centers on listening and building a trusting relationship so people feel understood while they work toward their goals.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Raven works together with each person to pick methods that fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She adapts strategies over time based on what helps most, treating therapy as a collaborative effort rather than a one-size-fits-all plan.
Online therapy offers practical benefits for busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when meetings need to feel more like in-person work. Phone sessions can be easier when video is difficult or bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging provide quick check-ins, brief coaching, or a way to stay connected between appointments. These options make it simpler to work around school, work, and parenting schedules.
