About Althea
Althea Fraser is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Florida. She centers sessions on the person in front of her and helps people draw on their strengths to handle hard moments. Her style is practical and straightforward, aimed at everyday problems like anxiety, stress, and changes in life.
She uses approaches from attachment work, client-centered care, and cognitive behavioral techniques to guide conversations. That means she pays attention to how relationships shape feelings, listens without judgment, and helps people notice thoughts and behaviors that could be shifted. Sessions tend to focus on practical steps and clearer thinking rather than long lectures.
Althea supports people facing grief, self-esteem struggles, relationship and intimacy issues, and career or family transitions. Her additional focus includes aging and geriatric concerns, caregiver stress, blended family issues, and coping with natural or human-caused disaster. She also addresses topics such as domestic violence, eating issues, hoarding, and end-of-life planning.
With four years of clinical experience as an LCSW, she brings a steady, collaborative approach. Clients work together with her to set goals and try manageable changes between sessions. She encourages clear communication and small, realistic steps toward daily improvements.

How attachment work and CBT translate to online care
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how relationships and early experiences shape feelings and expectations. Online sessions can be a place to talk about patterns in your close relationships and try new ways of relating with guidance.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and replace them with more useful ones. In remote sessions this often means talking through specific situations, practicing new responses, and setting small exercises to do between meetings.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to match methods to your needs, goals, and preferences. That may mean combining ideas from attachment work, client-centered listening, and CBT to suit the issue you bring.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, shorten check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It also allows for steady progress on concerns like anxiety, grief, relationship patterns, and coping with life changes while working around daily routines.
