About Raven
Raven Brown-McKinney is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) and a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Texas. She draws on six years of clinical experience to help people who are feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or burned out. Raven focuses on practical steps people can take to manage stress, anger, anxiety, and life changes.
Raven uses straightforward conversation to identify what matters most to each person. Sessions look at immediate concerns like work stress or low mood and also at habits that get in the way of feeling better.
Background and approach
She blends strategies that teach coping skills with space to talk through painful experiences and losses. Her approach combines Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, cognitive behavioral techniques, and mindfulness practices. That mix helps people notice unhelpful patterns, practice new responses, and focus on values that matter to them.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy and client-centered ideas also shape how she structures sessions and supports problem solving. Raven works with a wide range of concerns including self-esteem, parenting stress, relationship and communication problems, grief, trauma and abuse, ADHD, bipolar mood concerns, and compassion fatigue. She also helps people facing caregiver stress, fertility stress, and the emotional fallout after natural or human-caused disasters.
Sessions are offered in English and are available through a variety of online formats. Raven aims to make therapy practical and achievable, helping people build skills they can use between appointments.

Approaches that translate well to online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It focuses less on getting rid of feelings and more on building a life that matters despite difficult emotions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns and reduce symptoms. Mindfulness Therapy trains attention to the present moment, which can reduce reactivity and improve emotional regulation. These approaches suit stress, anxiety, anger, and mood-related concerns.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Raven will talk with each person about their goals, try strategies, and adjust the plan based on what helps. She uses feedback and small experiments to find techniques that fit the person's life and preferences.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video works well for in-depth conversations and skills practice. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or you prefer not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging are useful for brief check-ins, tracking progress, and getting support between longer sessions. These options help people fit therapy into work, caregiving, or busy schedules while keeping regular contact with a licensed professional.
