About Raven
Raven Wilson is a New York licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) who helps people facing anxiety, depression, ADHD, and stress. She also supports those dealing with grief, addictions, low self-esteem, and major life changes. Raven writes simply and meets people where they are, focusing on small, doable steps toward feeling better.
Her style is collaborative and down-to-earth. Sessions center on clear goals, practical skills, and building self-compassion. She emphasizes improving communication, managing overwhelming emotions, and finding routines that reduce daily strain.
Background and approach
Raven draws on a mix of therapeutic approaches to match each person's needs. She uses techniques that help people notice unhelpful thoughts, practice mindfulness, and commit to values-based actions. Clients learn both short-term coping strategies and longer-term habits for stability.
In work with trauma, family issues, and relationship concerns, Raven focuses on safety and pacing. She helps clients sort through family of origin patterns, manage impulses, and repair communication breakdowns. When addictions or co-occurring problems appear, sessions include concrete steps to reduce harm and build healthier choices.
Raven has six years of clinical experience in community and outpatient settings. She aims to create an approachable space where people can name what’s hard, try new ways of responding, and slowly build a life that feels more manageable and meaningful.
Approaches you can use in online sessions
Raven commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in online work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that match their values. It is useful for stress, anxiety, and motivation struggles. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and trying different behaviors to reduce anxiety and depressive symptoms. CBT is practical for mood, anxiety, and many everyday problems.Deciding which approach to use is a team effort. Raven will work with each person to pick techniques that match their goals, preferences, and current challenges. She checks in about what's working and adjusts the plan over time so the therapy fits the person's needs.
Online formats available include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, while phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging can be useful for quick check-ins, reinforcing skills between sessions, or shorter touchpoints during a busy day. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or school schedules and to keep steady progress over time.
