Therapeutic approaches and online care

Raven uses cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness as practical ways to change unhelpful thinking and increase calm. CBT focuses on identifying thought patterns and testing them with real-life actions, which can reduce anger and anxiety. Mindfulness teaches simple attention and breathing practices that help people notice feelings before they escalate.

She also uses acceptance and commitment therapy to help people clarify what matters to them and take actions that match their values. That approach can be useful when frustration or avoidance gets in the way of goals. Choosing a method is a collaborative process - Raven will work with each person to try approaches that fit their needs, goals, and preferences.

Confirm current session options before booking so you know which online formats are offered. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. They also let people use skills in the moment between sessions and bring real-life examples directly into the work.
