About Alicia

LMFT Alicia Johnson has five years of clinical experience and is licensed in South Carolina. She focuses on relationship and family concerns, parenting, stress and anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, grief, and related issues such as intimacy, career changes, and compassion fatigue.

Alicia uses an approach grounded in attachment work and client-centered principles. She pays attention to how relationships and early experiences shape current patterns. In sessions she mixes practical tools with reflective conversation to help people notice habits and try different ways of responding.

Her style is relational and process oriented. She emphasizes understanding how a person arrived at a difficulty and then testing small changes. That can include skill-building, reframing thoughts, or experiencing emotions in the room to shift patterns in relationships.

Alicia also draws from cognitive behavioral and emotionally-focused methods when useful. These approaches are used to address communication problems, intimacy challenges, and persistent worry. She combines them with existential ideas to help people consider meaning and life direction.

She balances active, skill-based interventions with open conversation. Sessions often include practical steps people can practice between meetings. The goal is clearer choices about relationships, parenting, work, and personal wellbeing.

Clients should note sessions use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. International clients are not accepted. To begin, people are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.

Sheet 2

How attachment, client-centered, and CBT work in online sessions

Alicia commonly combines Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her work. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns and helps people try new ways of relating. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening closely and following the client's concerns while supporting their own problem-solving. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy offers concrete techniques to identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors to reduce anxiety and depressive patterns.

Finding the right mix of methods is part of the process. She works collaboratively to decide which approaches fit a person's goals, needs, and preferences. That may mean starting with conversation and reflection, then adding skill practice or behavioral experiments as required.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, shorten travel time, and allow for focused check-ins between other commitments. Some formats may be better for brief skill work while others suit longer relational processing; Alicia will discuss what type of session structure best supports the goals you bring to therapy.
