About Alecia
Alecia Rager is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, and money and financial issues among other concerns. She draws on nine years of practice to support people dealing with depression, bipolar symptoms, trauma and abuse, addictions, grief, parenting challenges, and self-esteem struggles. Her approach aims to make change feel manageable rather than overwhelming.
Alecia keeps sessions straightforward and practical. She uses methods such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, mindfulness, and client-centered work to help people notice patterns and try new actions. She often blends motivational interviewing and existential ideas to help clients find meaning and stay motivated through tough changes.
Her background includes work in crisis settings, hospital trauma units, and rehab and detox facilities. That experience shaped a calm, problem-focused style that values each person’s strengths. She has also supported caregivers and people affected by neurocognitive disorders and has experience with adoption and foster care concerns.
In sessions she helps people set realistic goals, try small behavioral steps, and use mindfulness practices to reduce reactivity. She talks through relationship and intimacy issues, career stress, and parenting pressures in everyday language. Alecia encourages vulnerability as a step toward change and aims to create a nonjudgmental space for people to explore what’s next.
She practices in Florida and works in English. People considering therapy are invited to think about what they want to change and what feels most urgent before beginning.
How therapy approaches translate to online care
Alecia uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people clarify what matters most and take steps toward those values even when feelings are uncomfortable. ACT focuses on practical action tied to personal values and can be useful for anxiety, depression, and life transitions.She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify unhelpful thinking and test new behaviors. CBT breaks problems into manageable parts and offers clear exercises to try between sessions, which many people find helpful for stress, mood, and coping with change.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels manageable. They will adjust methods as needed so the plan fits the client's life and aims.
If you are considering online sessions, confirm the current session formats before booking so you know what is offered. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy around a job, caregiving, or travel. It can also allow shorter check-ins, reduce commuting time, and let people practice skills where they live, helping skills transfer into daily routines.
