About Althea
Althea Fraser is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Florida with 4 years of clinical experience. She focuses on grief, stress, anxiety, relationships, family concerns, intimacy-related issues, career questions, and coping with life changes. Sessions are conducted in English and she does not accept international clients.
Althea works from an integrative perspective that leans on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and client-centered ideas. She treats conversations as collaborative. She helps people identify patterns of thought and behavior, and then practices small changes to test what helps in daily life.
She also draws on attachment-based approaches to look at how past relationships shape current reactions. That can be useful for people dealing with communication problems, attachment issues, or intimacy concerns. She uses the Gottman Method ideas when relationship skills are a focus, and mindfulness techniques to build calm and present-moment awareness.
Althea has experience addressing a wide range of situations beyond the core concerns. These include caregiver stress, blended family issues, end-of-life and hospice-related counseling, forgiveness and shame, eating and hoarding concerns, and responses to natural or human-caused disasters. She offers straightforward, practical steps alongside reflective conversation.
Her practice emphasizes listening to what matters to each person and testing small, manageable changes between sessions. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the See online therapy options flow.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Attachment-based work looks at how earlier relationships shape current reactions and closeness. In online sessions this means talking about interaction patterns and trying small, practical changes to improve connection and reduce reactivity. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and testing alternative actions. Online CBT sessions often include setting short between-session experiments and reviewing what worked. Client-centered therapy emphasizes listening, reflection, and following the person's priorities. That approach helps people feel heard and guides decisions about which practical steps to try next.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will help you decide what to try based on your goals, the issues you bring, and how you prefer to work. That decision is collaborative and can change as you learn what helps.
The practical benefits of online therapy center on fitting sessions into everyday life. Confirm the exact session formats before booking, as they are not specified here. Online options can make it easier to schedule around work, avoid travel time, and use shorter check-ins when needed. They also let people continue work on relationship skills and behavioral experiments between sessions without having to rearrange their day.
