About Alicia
Alicia Johnson is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) practicing from South Carolina. She brings five years of clinical experience and a down-to-earth, client-centered style to sessions. Alicia aims to meet people where they are and help them move toward the life they want to live.
Alicia uses Narrative Therapy alongside attachment-based and client-centered ideas to help people understand their stories and relationships. She often pairs those perspectives with practical tools and cognitive strategies to address stress, anxiety, and depression.
Background and approach
Sessions tend to focus on clear next steps and useful techniques that fit everyday life. She works with concerns around relationships, parenting, family conflict, intimacy issues, and the emotional fallout from trauma or loss. Alicia also supports people facing career questions, compassion fatigue, and struggles with self-esteem or body image.
Common threads include abandonment, attachment wounds, codependency, and family of origin issues. Alicia describes her approach as relational and process-oriented. She listens for patterns in a person’s story, invites curiosity about how those patterns formed, and helps people try small, manageable changes.
She favors straightforward strategies alongside reflective conversation so clients leave with both insight and actions. Outside of therapy Alicia is a parent who values family time and simple adventures. That practical perspective informs how she helps people balance care for others with care for themselves.

Online session options
Therapeutic approaches and online care
Alicia often draws on Narrative Therapy, which looks at the stories people tell about their lives and helps rewrite unhelpful narratives. This approach can be useful for people feeling stuck by past events or patterns that shape their choices.She also uses Attachment-Based Therapy to explore how early relationship patterns influence current connections and emotional responses. That work is helpful when relationship struggles, abandonment fears, or attachment wounds affect intimacy or trust.
Her client-centered stance keeps conversations focused on each person’s experience and goals, with the therapist following the client’s lead while offering empathy and reflection.
Finding the best approach is part of the therapeutic process. Alicia works collaboratively to identify which methods fit a person’s needs and preferences, adjusting tools and pacing over time so the work stays relevant and manageable.
Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video lets people use face-to-face interaction for deeper conversation, phone can be a good option when bandwidth is limited, and chat or text supports shorter check-ins or ongoing reflection between calls. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to continue work across different circumstances.
