Alicia Johnson

Alicia Johnson is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) based in South Carolina. She brings a warm, client-centered style and focuses on helping people bridge the gap between the life they want and the life they are living. Her approach is relational and process-oriented, meeting people where they are and moving at a practical pace.

With five years of clinical experience, Alicia draws on several therapy approaches to tailor sessions to each person. She uses Attachment-Based ideas to look at relational patterns, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to address thoughts and behaviors, and Emotionally-Focused techniques to work through difficult feelings. She also integrates existential questions when people want to explore meaning and purpose.

Clients come to her for stress, anxiety, depression, parenting challenges, relationship and intimacy issues, grief, trauma and abuse, and help coping with life changes. She also supports people dealing with family problems, communication struggles, codependency, body image, and career concerns. Practical tools and short “brain hacks” are part of sessions when helpful.

Alicia trained with a BS in Psychology and an MA in Counseling with an emphasis in Marriage and Family Counseling. She has worked in private practice since finishing graduate school, balancing clinical work with raising three children. Her practice perspective emphasizes curiosity, compassion, and clear steps toward change.

People who choose her can expect a conversational, down-to-earth style focused on real problems and doable strategies. Before booking, confirm current session options and scheduling details.

How her approaches shape online work

Alicia often uses Attachment-Based ideas to look at patterns in relationships and how those patterns affect current struggles. This approach helps people notice how past bonds influence present behavior and emotional responses, which can be useful for relationship and intimacy concerns.

She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify unhelpful thoughts and shift behaviors. CBT offers clear steps and techniques that people can practice between sessions to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and build new habits.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Alicia aims to collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. She will listen to what’s not working, suggest options, and adjust methods over time so sessions feel relevant and doable.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the session formats she currently offers before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into busy days, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It also lets people try tools and exercises in the context of their everyday life, then bring observations back to sessions for refinement.
