About Alicia
Alicia Johnson is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) based in South Carolina who draws on a blend of evidence-informed practices to help clients navigate relationship and life challenges.
Background and approach
She centers her work in cognitive behavioral techniques alongside attachment-informed and client-focused approaches, using practical tools and thoughtful exploration to address stress, anxiety, depression, parenting conflicts, grief, trauma and intimacy-related concerns. With five years of clinical experience, she integrates structured interventions with relational attention to help clients reduce distress and improve everyday functioning.
Her style is warm, process-oriented, and collaborative, aiming to meet people where they are while tracing how patterns originated in past experiences.
Alicia also works with couples and families on communication problems, blended family issues, infidelity, and family of origin concerns, and supports people facing career transitions, chronic compassion fatigue, and struggles with self-esteem, body image, or life purpose.
She values curiosity and practical strategies - sometimes offering brief cognitive or behavioral “brain hacks” - while maintaining an empathic stance as clients explore change and healing.
Bringing CBT and Attachment Work to Online Sessions
Many clients find cognitive behavioral strategies helpful for identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns; in online work these techniques translate into practical exercises, thought records, and behavioral experiments that can be reviewed together during a session. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relational patterns influence current connections and emotional responses, which can be explored through conversation, reflective exercises, and relationship-focused interventions in virtual sessions. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy, acceptance, and collaborative pacing so the therapist follows the client's lead while providing support and validation throughout the change process.Choosing the right approach is treated as a collaborative task. The therapist will work with each client to clarify goals, try techniques, and adjust methods based on what feels most helpful, blending structured CBT tools with attachment and client-centered ways of understanding relational patterns when appropriate.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules or to continue work during life transitions. These formats allow for regular check-ins, skill practice between sessions, and consistent progress tracking while accommodating different communication preferences and logistical needs.
