About Alecia

Alecia Rager is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Florida with nine years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship problems, trauma and abuse, bipolar disorder, depression, addictions, and issues related to life changes and purpose. She also supports concerns such as parenting, intimacy, self-esteem, grief, and ADHD. Alecia speaks English and practices in Florida.

Alecia draws on approaches like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, Existential Therapy, and Mindfulness Therapy. Sessions focus on practical steps a person can try between meetings. She uses simple, direct conversation to identify what’s getting in the way and then tests small changes to see what helps.

Her background includes work in crisis units, rehab and detox facilities, hospital trauma units, and with caregivers of people with neurocognitive disorders. That experience informs how she talks about safety, boundaries, and practical supports when life feels overwhelming. She also has experience with adoption, attachment, and blended family issues.

Alecia emphasizes collaborative work. She discusses values and daily routines, and helps people notice patterns that keep them stuck. Therapy can include short behavior experiments, values-based goal setting, and skills for managing intense feelings.

If someone is unsure what comes next, she helps break big questions into smaller steps. To begin, a person would use the site button to view online therapy options, complete a brief matching questionnaire, and schedule a first session.

Therapeutic approaches and working online

Alecia uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to look at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and to try practical changes in daily routines. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, and coping with life transitions.

She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which focuses on clarifying values and taking actions that matter even when emotions are difficult. ACT can help people who feel stuck about purpose or direction.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That may mean mixing CBT, ACT, and mindfulness exercises over several sessions while checking what helps.

The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm the available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. Therapists and licensed professionals commonly adapt exercises and homework for remote sessions so progress can continue between meetings.
