About Alecia

Alecia Rager is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Florida with nine years of clinical experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship trouble, trauma and abuse, bipolar disorder, depression, addictions, grief, parenting strains, self-esteem concerns, career stress, ADHD, and related areas.

Alecia draws on practical, research-informed methods such as cognitive behavioral approaches, acceptance and commitment ideas, client-centered work, existential questions, and mindfulness practices. Sessions focus on clear goals and small steps. Conversations are direct and rooted in everyday life problems like work, money, health, and family responsibilities.

Her background includes work in crisis units, rehab and detox settings, hospital trauma units, and emergency departments. That experience complements private-practice work and informs how she helps people manage intense moments and plan next steps.

In sessions she uses motivational interviewing techniques to support change, while emphasizing each person’s existing strengths. Therapy often includes skills for coping with strong emotions, practical problem solving, and attention to what matters most to the client.

Alecia aims to help people reduce the weight of ongoing struggles and regain practical control over daily life. She encourages small, achievable changes that add up over time. People who want clear, real-world steps for handling anxiety, mood concerns, relationship strain, or life transitions may find her approach straightforward and task-focused.

BHow sessions work

Approaches used in online sessions and what they do

Alecia commonly draws on cognitive behavioral therapy, acceptance and commitment ideas, and client-centered work. Cognitive behavioral therapy looks at how thoughts affect feelings and behavior and teaches practical skills for shifting unhelpful patterns. Acceptance and commitment ideas focus on values and taking committed action even when difficult feelings are present, which helps with anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Client-centered work emphasizes listening and reflecting so clients can clarify what matters and make choices that fit their life.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. Alecia works collaboratively to identify which methods match a person’s goals, preferences, and daily realities. She will check in and adjust approaches over time rather than sticking to a single method from the start.

The biography does not specify session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Many people find online therapy helpful because it can fit into work or caregiving schedules, avoid travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. When considering online work, think about what timing and session length will fit your routine and mention that during the initial scheduling step so this can be discussed.
