    About Raven

    Raven Wilson is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) based in New York who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, and major life changes. She supports people dealing with relationship and family concerns, grief, trauma and abuse, and struggles with self-esteem and intimacy. Raven focuses on practical steps clients can use in daily life to feel steadier and more in control.

    She works in a collaborative, down-to-earth way. Sessions are conversational and goal-focused. Raven listens for what matters most to each person and helps them find small changes that add up over time.

    Her approach draws on Motivational Interviewing to help people find internal motivation for change, and on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to clarify values and guide committed action. She also uses client-centered listening and cognitive behavioral tools to address unhelpful thinking and build coping skills.

    Raven has six years of clinical experience as an LMHC practicing in New York. She often helps people handle co-occurring issues like substance use, codependency, and family of origin problems, and she gives space to explore guilt, shame, and feelings of emptiness.

    People who meet with Raven can expect a practical plan and compassionate support. She aims to help clients reconnect with purpose, improve communication, and build routines that support lasting change.

  2. How Raven’s approaches fit into online therapy

    Raven uses Motivational Interviewing to help people connect with their own reasons for change and to strengthen motivation in small, manageable steps. This approach is useful for challenges like addictions, impulsivity, and making life changes.

    She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which helps people clarify their values and take concrete actions that match those values while learning to live with difficult thoughts and feelings. That work often supports concerns such as anxiety, depression, and problems with self-esteem.

    Finding the right method is part of the work together. Raven treats the choice of approach as a collaboration and will help tailor methods to a person’s goals, preferences, and the issues they bring. She often blends techniques to match what actually helps someone move forward.

    If you want online therapy, confirm which session options are currently offered before booking. The benefit of online sessions is that they can fit into a busy life more easily - they can make scheduling simpler, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Many people find that working with a licensed professional remotely makes it easier to use new skills in day-to-day routines.
