About Alicia

Alicia Johnson is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) based in South Carolina. She brings a warm, client-centered approach and meets people where they are. Alicia aims to help clients narrow the gap between the life they want and the life they have now, while looking at how they arrived at their current situation.

She draws on attachment-based ideas and emotionally-focused perspectives to understand relationships and patterns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy tools are used when people want concrete, practical techniques to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Sessions tend to be relational and process oriented, with an emphasis on compassion, curiosity, and clear takeaways.

Alicia has five years of clinical experience and has spent time in private practice since completing her degrees. She earned a Bachelor of Science in Psychology and a Master of Arts in Counseling with an emphasis in Marriage and Family Counseling. Her license is a South Carolina LMFT.

Her work often centers on stress, anxiety, relationships, parenting, self-esteem, depression, family issues, grief, and trauma and abuse. She also helps people facing concerns such as abandonment, attachment issues, blended family challenges, body image, codependency, communication problems, infidelity, isolation, and questions about life purpose.

Clients can expect a straightforward style with practical strategies and curiosity about personal history. Alicia balances goal-focused tools with attention to emotions and relational patterns. To begin, readers should confirm current session options before booking and follow the site process to connect.

How Alicia's approaches can work online

Alicia uses Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early bonds shape current relationships and emotional reactions. This approach helps when people want to understand patterns in close relationships and feel more secure with others.

She also uses Client-Centered Therapy, which focuses on listening closely, reflecting feelings, and following the person’s pace. That approach helps people feel heard and guides them to find their own solutions.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is part of her toolkit for practical change. CBT offers concrete techniques to challenge unhelpful thoughts and build new habits, useful for anxiety, low mood, and stress management.

Deciding which approach fits best is a collaborative process. The therapist and client will talk about goals, preferences, and the issues at hand, then try methods that match those needs. Adjustments can be made as the work progresses so the plan stays relevant.

For online therapy logistics, please confirm current session options before booking as formats are not listed here. Many people find online sessions easier to fit around work, childcare, or travel and appreciate shorter check-ins when time is limited. Online work can also make it simpler to use in-session tools and homework between meetings, helping therapy fit into everyday life.
