About Ragerus
Ragerus Hicks is a Licensed Master Social Worker and a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 16 years in mental health and healthcare. He focuses on stress, anxiety, self-esteem, and career concerns while also helping people cope with life changes. He combines clinical work and coaching to meet people where they are and help them make steady progress.
He begins by listening to each person's story and what brought them to therapy.
Background and approach
Sessions start with simple questions about current struggles and goals. That helps shape short-term steps and longer-term work that fits each person's life. Ragerus uses a straightforward, down-to-earth style.
He aims to create a space where people can talk honestly and at their own pace. He balances practical strategies with supportive conversation so clients can try small changes between sessions. Over his career he has supported people dealing with aging and geriatric concerns, attachment questions, caregiver stress, and workplace problems.
Other focus areas include mood concerns, social anxiety and phobia, loneliness, impulse control, and issues around sexuality and life purpose. Sessions are offered from Michigan and are delivered in English. Ragerus offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging.
To begin, a prospective client completes a short matching questionnaire and schedules a time that works with the therapist's calendar.
Evidence-based approaches and flexible online care
Ragerus draws on practical, evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on clear steps and measurable progress. One common approach helps people learn concrete coping skills for anxiety and stress, such as breathing, grounding exercises, and behavioral strategies to reduce avoidance. These techniques are aimed at easing day-to-day worry and improving functioning.Another element of his work emphasizes exploring values, life purpose, and self-esteem through structured conversations and goal-setting. This helps people clarify what matters most and make gradual changes that align with their priorities, whether at work or in personal life.
Choosing the right approach is part of the process and is done together. He will review your goals, try methods that fit your needs, and adjust the plan based on what helps most. That collaborative rhythm makes it easier to see progress and stay focused on practical steps.
Online sessions include video calls and phone sessions for deeper conversations, plus live chat and text-based messaging for quick check-ins or shorter updates. Video is useful for full sessions, phone works well when bandwidth is limited, and messaging can fit brief coaching-style support between appointments. These options make therapy more flexible for different schedules and needs.
