Althea Fraser, LCSW

Althea Fraser is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Florida with four years of clinical experience. She focuses on grief, anxiety, stress, relationship and intimacy-related concerns, self-esteem, career questions, and coping with life changes. She works with adults who want practical strategies to manage feelings and handle everyday challenges.

Her approach emphasizes Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) alongside attachment-based and client-centered methods. She helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and patterns, try small behavior changes, and practice different ways of responding. Sessions often include clear steps and short exercises to test what works between meetings.

Althea also uses ideas from the Gottman Method and mindfulness to address relationship strain and emotional regulation. When relationship issues come up she focuses on communication skills and concrete interaction patterns rather than abstract theories. Mindfulness techniques are used in short, practiceable ways to reduce reactivity and improve focus.

She has experience with aging and geriatric issues, caregiver stress, blended family concerns, attachment issues, and end-of-life or hospice counseling. Other areas she addresses include eating and food-related issues, hoarding, domestic violence, divorce and separation, and survivor guilt or shame.

Sessions are conducted in English and follow a straightforward, goal-oriented style. Prospective clients in Florida can expect a practical plan, agreed steps, and review of progress each session.
