Alecia Peters , LCSW

Alecia Peters is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with two decades of experience helping people under stress. She focuses on practical strategies that parents and caregivers can use right away. She listens with empathy and aims to make sessions feel straightforward and useful.

She has worked with children and adults around emotional regulation and behavior concerns. That background informs her approach when she helps parents manage frequent meltdowns and daily stress. She emphasizes building on what families already do well and identifying small, realistic changes.

Alecia uses play-based and child-centered methods with younger clients to teach coping skills and strengthen relationships. She also supports adults who feel overwhelmed by caregiving, compassion fatigue, anxiety, or anger. She pays attention to communication patterns and helps people practice new ways to respond.

Faith can be part of the work when a client requests it. She offers prayer and biblically informed counseling on request, and also provides nonreligious care. Her aim is to match support to each person’s values and goals rather than assume one approach fits all.

Sessions are focused on clear steps and real-life practice. She helps people notice strengths, try new tools, and adjust plans over time. The goal is improved self-esteem, better emotion control, and more confidence in day-to-day caregiving.

Evidence-based approaches and flexible online care

Alecia draws on child-centered play methods that use play and interaction to help children express feelings, build coping skills, and practice new behaviors. This approach is often used for children who show anxiety, ADHD symptoms, or social difficulties and helps caregivers learn ways to respond that reduce meltdown cycles.

She also uses parent-focused coaching to teach concrete techniques parents can try between sessions. This involves short, actionable steps to improve communication, set limits, and support a child’s emotional growth. When requested, faith-informed counseling or prayer can be integrated into sessions in a way that reflects a client's values.

Choosing the right approach is a team effort. Alecia collaborates with each person to match methods to their needs, goals, and preferences and will adapt plans as progress is made.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules. Video allows face-to-face interaction, phone can be easier with limited bandwidth, chat or text can make brief check-ins or coaching simpler, and all formats let people get help from home or during a break at work. This flexibility helps people stick with the work and practice new skills in everyday life.
