About Alecia
Alecia Rager is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Florida. She focuses on common struggles like anxiety, depression, stress, relationship strain, addiction, grief, and challenges tied to ADHD. Her approach is warm and direct, aimed at helping people take small, manageable steps toward change.
Alecia draws on nine years of clinical experience in a range of settings. She has worked in crisis units, rehab and detox facilities, hospital trauma units, and with caregivers for people with neurocognitive conditions.
Background and approach
That variety informs how she responds to sudden stress, trauma, and complex medical or caregiving situations. In sessions she blends Narrative ideas with practical tools. Clients are invited to tell their story and notice patterns that no longer serve them.
She pairs that work with Cognitive Behavioral techniques and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy strategies to shift unhelpful thoughts and build actions that match values. Conversations are collaborative and paced to what each person needs. Alecia emphasizes strengths and motivation rather than blame.
Her style is straightforward and compassionate, focusing on clear goals and steps between sessions. She also brings client-centered values to the work, offering space to be heard and understood. Whether a concern involves grief, intimacy issues, parenting strain, or career stress, she helps people rewrite how they relate to hard experiences.
The goal is practical change that fits everyday life.

How Narrative and Practical Therapies Work Online
Alecia often blends Narrative Therapy with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. Narrative Therapy focuses on the stories people tell about themselves and looks for ways to retell those stories so they feel less limiting. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings while choosing actions that reflect their values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts affect feelings and behavior and teaches specific strategies to change unhelpful patterns.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to your goals and try methods that match your needs and preferences. Over time you can adjust the mix of techniques so sessions stay useful and doable for your life.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets you connect face to face when you want a fuller conversation. Phone calls can be quicker and use less bandwidth. Live chat and texting work well for short check-ins, ongoing encouragement, or when writing feels easier than speaking. These options make it possible to fit therapy into work days, caregiving schedules, or other busy routines.
