About Raven

Raven Brown-McKinney is a licensed clinical social worker who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, ADHD, depression, and life transitions.

Background and approach

With both LICSW and LCSW credentials and six years of documented experience, she frames work around practical goals and coaching-oriented support to help clients move toward clearer functioning and greater self-understanding. Her style is collaborative and warm, blending evidence-based techniques with mindfulness and acceptance-based perspectives.

Raven draws from cognitive behavioral strategies and dialectical skills to address emotion regulation, impulsivity, communication challenges, and patterns that contribute to overwhelm. She also brings experience addressing trauma, grief, caregiver stress, compassion fatigue, and relationship or family concerns.

Clients can expect goal-focused sessions that integrate coaching elements and therapeutic interventions tailored to each person's needs. Raven practices in Texas and offers services in English, using a mix of synchronous and text-based formats to match different preferences and schedules.

Evidence-Informed Approaches Delivered Online



Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and commit to small, values-driven actions. It emphasizes learning to notice thoughts and feelings without letting them dictate behavior, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and reshaping unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors through practical exercises and skills training, a common fit for stress, panic, and mood concerns. Mindfulness Therapy complements these approaches by teaching present-moment awareness and self-compassion skills that reduce reactivity and improve emotional regulation.

Choosing the right combination of methods is part of the therapeutic process, and the therapist works collaboratively with each person to determine what fits their goals, preferences, and day-to-day life. That collaborative stance means techniques can be adjusted over time based on what is helpful in practice.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make working together more flexible. These formats allow clients to access licensed professionals from different locations and to pick the communication style that best fits their schedule and comfort level, supporting consistent progress without requiring travel.
