About Raven

Raven Wilson is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) based in New York who supports people facing a wide range of emotional and behavioral challenges.

Background and approach

She draws on six years of clinical experience to help clients manage stress, anxiety, depression, addiction concerns, mood instability, and difficulties tied to relationships and family dynamics. Raven also works with issues such as self-esteem, body image, grief, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related struggles, and ADHD-related concerns.

Her practice emphasizes collaboration and practical skill-building, blending cognitive behavioral strategies with acceptance-oriented and mindfulness-informed methods. Clients can expect a client-centered stance that prioritizes compassion, clearer communication, and tailored coping tools.

Raven pays attention to co-occurring problems like substance use, impulsivity, dissociation, and codependency while addressing underlying family-of-origin patterns and isolation. In sessions she aims to help people develop healthier routines, increase self-understanding, and strengthen emotional resilience.

Her New York LMHC credential (NY LMHC 010789-01) reflects formal licensure, and she offers therapy in English through a range of remote session formats to fit varied schedules.

Therapeutic approaches and how they fit online

Raven integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy alongside client-centered techniques to guide online work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors; it is often used for anxiety, depression, stress, and many everyday coping challenges. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy encourages noticing difficult thoughts and feelings while clarifying values and taking committed action, which can help people struggling with avoidance, low motivation, or persistent distress.

Finding the right approach is part of the collaborative process. Raven partners with clients to assess goals, preferences, and presenting concerns, then adapts methods from CBT, ACT, and client-centered work so treatment fits the person rather than forcing a single model.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to maintain continuity when schedules are busy or travel is difficult. These formats provide flexibility to engage in skills practice, talk therapy, and ongoing check-ins, and they can be combined in ways that suit different learning and communication styles.
