More about Alecia
- 9 years' experience

- LCSW
Hi, my name is Alecia, I am Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I have 6 years of experience working with individuals, couples and families. I currently have a private practice and my past experience has included working with adults and children in crisis unit, rehab and detox facility, caregivers of individuals with Neurocognitive disorders, hospital trauma units and emergency departments.
I use Evidence Based practices including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Person Centered, Solution Focused therapies with Motivational Interviewing. My goal is to collaborate with members to embrace change through their strengths.
Life can be a lonely place when you no longer feel yourself or are feeling overwhelmed. Anxiety, depression and traumas can feel like a cinder block on our shoulders. You may wonder how things will change? Change begins with vulnerability. To be vulnerable is to let go of the notion you have to struggle alone.
It is time to write another chapter of your story with the strength that has gotten you this far. I offer a safe and non-judgmental space for you to release the burden that is holding you back from living your best life. Be you, Your Way.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

Awesome
Alecia is great. She’s extremely helpful.
I love Alecia so much. She's been such a tremendous help in how I navigate not only the personal aspects of my life, but the professional growth as well. I know I would be in such a more stressful area without her and her patience and guidance. I truly am grateful for her.
Alicia Rager is one of the best therapists I have ever had. I’ve been in therapy for ten years throughout my adolescence and I have to say she is the most welcoming, kind psychologist I’ve met. I 100% recommend her and she has been so helpful.
She is great so far! I’ve only had 1 session but she made me feel very comfortable which is not always easy to do.
Calming, reassuring, and makes me feel heard. Thank you Ms. Alecia.
I thoroughly enjoy my time every week with Alecia. She has provided me with good resources to better myself and a sounding board where there otherwise is none in my life.
Alecia has been a very attentive, non-judgmental, and kind counselor over our time together while I lived in Florida. She helped guide me towards fine-tuning my goals and desires in my life currently. She also made sure to focus on what I needed from a counselor and help to push me and hold me accountable. I would highly recommend her as a counselor to anyone.
Warm presence, willing to stay informed and educated on client experience. Listens intently and asks questions that are thoughtful and considerate. Trusting and validating, when deserved. Constructive with sympathy and care. I love her open-mindedness and appreciate her encouragement to further explore my self and perspective. Highly recommend!
I feel very comfortable talking with Alecia. Our sessions are helping me a lot. I appreciate that she responds to my texts and journals.
Alecia, From our first meeting , Alecia has been supportive of my care. I feel safe and understood when I speak with Alecia She has been the “ear”, the friend, the motivator for me. I have never been able to share all aspects of my life with anyone, just being able to get the tension finally, has been the biggest help
Alecia counseled me in a warm, caring, and supportive way. She is very professional and has great ideas to help me in my growth. I'm a Psych RN and I felt understood and supported along the way. I highly recommend her.
I am so grateful I found Alecia! She has been calm, warm, and so helpful as I navigate a difficult turn in my marriage. I feel safe and understood and supported and it makes a world of difference to know she's just a click away.
