About Alecia
Alecia Rager is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with nine years of experience helping people facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship strain, and addiction. She supports concerns like bipolar mood challenges, grief, intimacy-related issues, parenting stress, ADHD, and identity matters within the LGBT community. Alecia writes plainly and listens closely to what feels most urgent for each person.
Her sessions focus on practical steps and honest conversation. She draws on cognitive behavioral strategies, mindfulness, and acceptance-based ideas to help people notice unhelpful patterns and try different ways of responding.
Background and approach
She also uses a client-centered stance to keep sessions focused on each person’s goals and values. Alecia's background includes clinical work in crisis units, rehab and detox settings, hospital trauma units, and caregiver support for people with neurocognitive disorders. This range gives her experience with both sudden crises and longer-term challenges.
Her practice in Florida includes work with adults and experience related to adoption, caregiving, blended family concerns, and body image issues. In sessions she aims to be straightforward and compassionate. People can expect collaborative goal-setting, skill practice between sessions, and help sorting through decisions about relationships, work, and major life changes.
The approach centers on small, usable steps that fit into daily life. She offers several ways to connect so people can find what works best for their schedule and needs.

Online support
How therapeutic approaches work online
Alecia commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and Client-Centered Therapy in online work. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms, which can help with anxiety, depression, and mood regulation. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify values and take committed action even when difficult feelings are present, which is useful for stress, trauma responses, and life transitions. Client-Centered Therapy centers the person’s experience and uses empathic listening to help people feel understood and decide what matters most to them.Finding the best approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with the person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. That conversation guides which methods are emphasized, and plans are adjusted as progress or needs change.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and practice of skills, phone sessions can fit into a short break or workday, live chat offers quick check-ins, and text messaging supports brief updates or ongoing encouragement between sessions. These options help people fit therapy into a busy life while keeping a steady course toward their goals.
