More about Raven

- LCSW, LISW-CP
Greetings! I am a licensed clinical social worker in the states of North and South Carolina. I have been licensed for 13 years during this time I have provided therapy services to youth, adults and families in office, community and home settings. The modalities I tend to use consist of solution focused brief therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, reality therapy and person centered modalities. Prior to becoming licensed I worked as a family preservation counselor and a youth residential counselor. I have an extensive background in family work including parent education. I pride myself in being an honest direct yet empathic clinician who believes despite therapy being a difficult and sometimes uncomfortable decision it should be an enlightening and awakening experience.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.
