About Alecia
Alecia Rager is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who helps people cope with stress, anxiety, depression, bipolar mood challenges, ADHD, trauma, relationship and intimacy concerns, and grief. She draws on nine years of practice to support people facing addictions, parenting strain, career shifts, self-esteem struggles, and other life changes. Alecia keeps sessions straightforward and collaborative.
She listens first, then helps identify small, workable steps to reduce overwhelm. She encourages clients to use their strengths and values to guide changes that fit their day-to-day life.
Background and approach
Her background includes work in hospital trauma units, emergency departments, rehab and detox programs, and crisis services. She has supported caregivers of people with neurocognitive conditions and has experience with adoption, attachment, and blended family challenges. Alecia uses practical, evidence-based approaches such as cognitive behavioral techniques, mindfulness, acceptance and commitment ideas, and motivational interviewing.
Therapy focuses on building skills for managing thoughts, emotions, and behaviors so life feels more manageable. People who come to her can expect clear goals, down-to-earth guidance, and skills practice between sessions. She aims to create a non-judgmental space where clients can try new ways of coping and reduce the burden that keeps them from living as they want.
Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
Alecia commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy and acceptance and commitment ideas to help people manage thoughts, feelings, and unwanted behaviors. CBT focuses on practical skills to change patterns of thinking and action that increase anxiety or low mood. Acceptance and commitment approaches help people identify what matters to them and take small steps toward those valued goals.She also incorporates client-centered and mindfulness strategies to support emotional awareness and self-acceptance. Client-centered work means sessions are guided by each person's concerns and pace. Mindfulness practices teach simple ways to notice thoughts and bodily reactions so moments of overwhelm feel less intense.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Alecia will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals, preferences, and daily life. She tailors techniques and checks in regularly to make sure the plan is useful and realistic.
Online therapy formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text are helpful for quick updates, brief coaching, or people who prefer typed communication. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and to keep momentum between meetings.
