About Alicia
Alicia Johnson is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) based in South Carolina who focuses on helping parents and individuals manage relationship strain and life change. She uses a warm, down-to-earth style and aims to meet people where they are. Her approach is conversational and practical to fit a busy family life.
She blends attachment-focused thinking with client-centered care. That means she pays attention to how past relationships shape current reactions.
Background and approach
She also uses cognitive behavioral ideas to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors. Alicia draws on emotionally-focused work when intimacy or relationship pain shows up. That helps people name emotions and shift patterns that keep them stuck.
She also leans into existential conversations when clients are searching for meaning or life purpose. Her background includes a Bachelor of Science in Psychology and a Master of Arts in Counseling with an emphasis on marriage and family counseling. She has about five years of professional experience and has spent time in independent practice while parenting three children.
In sessions she focuses on everyday concerns like stress, anxiety, parenting challenges, communication problems, grief, and compassion fatigue. She also helps with issues such as abandonment, body image, codependency, blended-family dynamics, and infidelity. Her voice in the room is curious and compassionate.
She offers concrete tools alongside reflective conversation so clients can try new ways of relating and managing emotions between sessions.

How her approaches work in online therapy
Alicia often draws on attachment-based ideas and client-centered work in session. Attachment-based work looks at how early relationship patterns shape current reactions and helps people learn different ways to connect and respond. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening closely and following the client's pace so goals emerge from what matters most to them.She also uses cognitive behavioral techniques to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and test small behavior changes. CBT-style tools can be useful for managing anxiety, stress, and some parenting challenges by turning observations into practical experiments between sessions.
Finding the right approach is a shared process. Alicia will talk with each person about goals, life demands, and preferences, then suggest ways of working that fit. Together they pick strategies to try and adjust the approach as progress is made.
Online therapy offers several practical benefits for busy families. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when scheduling permits. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging make it easier to share quick updates, get in-the-moment coaching, or fit therapy into a tight day. These options are intended to increase flexibility and help people keep therapy consistent alongside parenting and work.
