Alecia Rager, LCSW

Alecia Rager is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Florida with nine years of experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, bipolar disorder, addictions, relationship and intimacy concerns, grief, parenting challenges, ADHD, and life transitions. Alecia often supports people navigating shifts in work, relationships, health, or family roles and helps them consider what comes next.

She draws on several practical approaches including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Client-Centered Therapy, Existential Therapy, and Mindfulness practices. Sessions focus on clear skills and real-world steps. Alecia uses collaborative conversation and motivational techniques to help people notice what matters and take manageable actions.

Her background includes work in crisis units, rehab and detox settings, hospital trauma units, and emergency departments. She has supported caregivers of people with neurocognitive disorders and worked with adults and children in acute care contexts. That variety informs a pragmatic style suited to sudden changes and ongoing stressors.

In sessions she listens for strengths people already use and then builds on them. Expect straightforward talk, goal setting, and exercises you can apply between meetings. She helps people practice new ways of responding to difficult thoughts and feelings and to test small changes that align with their values.

Alecia’s approach is practical rather than theoretical. She encourages vulnerability as a step toward change and focuses on actions that fit daily life. If someone is unsure what matters after a major change, she helps clarify priorities and plan the next steps.
