About Alecia

Alecia Rager is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who supports people coping with stress, anxiety, relationship struggles, trauma and abuse, mood concerns such as bipolar and depression, addictions, grief, parenting challenges, self-esteem issues, career transitions, and ADHD.

Background and approach

She brings nine years of clinical experience and has worked across crisis units, rehab and detox settings, hospital trauma units, emergency departments, and with caregivers for people with neurocognitive disorders. Her background also includes work with adoption and foster care matters, attachment and blended family challenges, aging and caregiver stress, and a wide range of life transitions.

Alecia emphasizes collaborative, strengths-based work that helps clients move through overwhelm and reclaim a sense of agency. She draws on evidence-informed methods including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Client-Centered and Existential approaches, mindfulness techniques, and motivational interviewing to tailor care to each person’s needs.

In practice she frames change as an unfolding process in which vulnerability opens the door to new possibilities. In her independent practice in Florida, Alecia aims to create a respectful, nonjudgmental space where people can explore difficult emotions, shift unhelpful patterns, and build practical coping skills.

She invites clients to discover how their existing strengths can support the next chapter of their lives.

Practical therapeutic approaches for online care

Alecia commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, offering concrete strategies for managing anxiety, depression, ADHD-related challenges, and coping skills for day-to-day functioning. She also integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which focuses on clarifying values and building psychological flexibility so people can move toward meaningful goals even when uncomfortable feelings remain. Client-Centered and mindfulness-informed techniques are woven into sessions to create a respectful, empathic environment that supports self-exploration and present-moment awareness.

Finding the right combination of methods is part of the collaborative process. The therapist works together with each client to understand their goals, preferences, and needs, and then tailors interventions over time rather than applying a single fixed method from the outset. This makes it easier to adjust the work as progress unfolds.

Online formats - including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging - make it possible to engage consistently while balancing other responsibilities. These options provide flexibility for scheduling, allow continuation of care between in-person visits, and let clients choose the communication style that feels most comfortable for their therapeutic work.
