About Alecia
Alecia Rager is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strains, trauma, and issues related to addiction and grief. She brings nine years of clinical experience and aims to make therapy a practical place to start feeling more like yourself again. Alecia writes plainly and listens closely so people can talk through what matters most.
Alecia’s approach is collaborative and strengths-based. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), client-centered work, mindfulness, and motivational interviewing to help people notice unhelpful patterns and try different responses. Sessions focus on real-life steps and on building skills that fit daily routines.
Her background includes work in crisis units, hospital trauma teams, rehab and detox programs, and supporting caregivers of people with neurocognitive disorders. That variety shapes a practice comfortable with both urgent crises and slower life transitions. Alecia also helps people cope with life changes such as divorce, adoption and foster care issues, and caregiving stress.
She is based in Florida and holds a Florida LCSW license. Sessions are offered in English. Alecia supports people dealing with coping after natural or human-caused disaster as one of many areas she addresses.
For people ready to begin, she uses a collaborative style that centers what you want to change. The work often includes teaching practical tools, rehearsing new ways to communicate, and using mindfulness to reduce reactivity. Alecia encourages small steps that add up to meaningful change.
How therapy approaches translate to online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying personal values and taking small steps toward them while accepting difficult thoughts and feelings. It can help when anxiety, depression, or life transitions make it hard to move forward. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches concrete strategies to change patterns that keep problems going. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and skills for coping with stress. Mindfulness-based approaches teach simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and increase awareness, which can help with trauma responses and daily overwhelm.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, try methods that fit the person's situation, and adjust as needed. That collaborative process helps pick tools that are useful in everyday life rather than sticking to one fixed method.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Many people find online sessions useful because they reduce travel, fit a break at work or between caregiving tasks, and make it easier to practice new skills in real settings. Online work can include talking through problems, guided skills practice, behavioral planning, and mindfulness exercises adapted to the person's day-to-day routine.
