About Alecia
Alecia Rager is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with nine years of experience based in Florida. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, relationship struggles, trauma and abuse, mood concerns like bipolar and depression, addiction, codependency, grief, and challenges around intimacy and parenting.
Alecia writes plainly and aims to help people sort out what feels overwhelming. In sessions she listens and asks questions to clarify what matters most. She uses practical tools drawn from cognitive behavioral approaches and mindfulness to help people notice patterns and try different responses.
Her background includes work in hospital trauma units, emergency departments, rehab and detox facilities, and caregiver support for people with neurocognitive disorders. That mix informs how she responds to crises and ongoing stressors. She brings experience helping people cope with major life changes and complicated grief.
Alecia blends Acceptance and Commitment Therapy ideas with client-centered and motivational interviewing techniques. That means noticing thoughts and choosing actions that fit personal values rather than getting stuck in cycles of worry or people-pleasing. Sessions often include short exercises, reflection, and concrete goal-setting.
She asks clients to name what they most want to change and then tests small steps that fit everyday life. Progress is tracked through practical behaviors and repeated practice rather than quick fixes. People who struggle with boundaries, caretaking roles, or losing themselves in relationships may find this approach direct and action-oriented.
How sessions work
How Alecia’s approaches translate to online work
Alecia draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people notice thoughts and feelings without being driven by them, then choose actions that match their values. This can help with codependency patterns, avoidance, and stuck behaviors. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting so the client’s goals guide the work; it supports building clearer boundaries and making personal choices. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) provides concrete tools to identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors, which is useful for anxiety, mood concerns, and coping with life changes.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. She works collaboratively to see which methods fit a person’s goals, trying brief exercises and tracking small changes to find what helps. That collaborative testing keeps the focus on what actually changes daily life rather than on theory alone.
The practical benefit of online sessions is that they can fit into busy schedules and reduce travel time. Please confirm current session options before booking so you know what formats are offered. Online work can include short check-ins, guided mindfulness practice, or longer skills sessions depending on what is needed and agreed on together. Many people use online sessions to maintain steady progress while juggling work, caregiving, or medical appointments.
