About Alecia

Alecia Rager is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship and intimacy concerns, addictions, bipolar symptoms, grief, and life transitions. She draws on nine years of clinical experience and focuses on practical steps people can use right away. Alecia keeps sessions straightforward and grounded.

She invites clients to talk about what feels most pressing, then works with them to set clear goals.

Background and approach

Expect a collaborative tone where the client's strengths guide each step. She emphasizes small changes that add up over time. Her background includes work in hospital trauma units, emergency departments, rehab and detox settings, and services for caregivers and people with neurocognitive disorders.

That range gives her experience with crisis situations and complex needs, and it informs how she responds when people feel overwhelmed. Alecia draws from several approaches, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Client-Centered methods, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Existential Therapy, and Mindfulness practices. She combines these tools to match what each person needs rather than using a single fixed method.

Sessions focus on real-life problems and practical coping skills. Conversations often include identifying unhelpful thoughts, exploring values and meaning, and building small routines that support mood and relationships. The aim is clearer choices and more manageable days.

Online support

How Alecia’s approaches adapt to online therapy

Alecia often blends Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in online sessions. ACT helps people clarify their values and commit to actions that match those values, which can ease distress during life changes. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and building practical skills for anxiety, depression, and mood changes.

She also uses Client-Centered techniques to keep the session grounded in the person’s experience. That means listening closely, validating what feels real, and shaping the work around each client's goals. Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process, and she works together with clients to decide what fits best based on needs, goals, and preferences.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video allows face-to-face conversation for deeper dialogue and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when internet bandwidth is limited or for quick check-ins. Live chat or text messaging works well for brief updates, homework support, or when typing helps someone organize thoughts. These options offer flexibility to fit sessions into busy days and different routines.
