About Alicia
Alicia Johnson is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) based in South Carolina. She brings five years of clinical experience and a practical, down-to-earth approach to helping people manage stress, anxiety, relationships, parenting challenges, and life transitions. She favors somatic work alongside attachment and client-centered ways of meeting people where they are.
Sessions focus on how the body, emotions, and patterns of relating influence day-to-day struggles. Alicia uses simple tools and small experiments you can try between sessions to build calmer responses and clearer boundaries.
Background and approach
Alicia draws on elements of cognitive behavioral and emotionally-focused approaches when helpful. That means she helps clients spot unhelpful thinking, practice new ways of communicating, and track emotional patterns that affect relationships and self-worth. The goal is practical change, not jargon or long lectures.
Her background includes a BS in Psychology and an MA in Counseling with an emphasis on marriage and family counseling. She holds the SC LMFT 7041 license and has worked in independent practice settings while balancing family life. People come to her for a wide range of concerns such as grief, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related issues, compassion fatigue, and career shifts.
She also supports those dealing with attachment wounds, codependency, blended family issues, body image, and guilt or shame. Work is collaborative and paced to each person's comfort.
Approaches that connect body, emotion, and relationship in online care
Alicia integrates somatic work into online therapy to help people notice how tension and sensations show up in daily life. Somatic techniques can involve simple body-based awareness and grounding practices to reduce overwhelming stress and promote calm during hard moments.She also uses attachment-based ideas to look at how early patterns affect current relationships and feelings of safety. This approach helps people understand repeating relationship cycles and try new ways of relating that feel more supported. Client-centered work underpins these methods by keeping the conversation focused on the client's experience, pace, and goals rather than imposing a fixed plan.
Choosing the right approach is part of the therapy process. The therapist and client work together to see which methods feel most helpful and to adjust plans as needs change. Therapy is collaborative, with practical experiments and small skills that fit the client's life.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which offer flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to use somatic awareness and attachment-focused conversations from home, during breaks, or while traveling, so people can practice new skills where they live and work.
