About me

Hello there! My name is Alicia Johnson, and I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) in South Carolina. I graduated from CSU in 2008 with my BS in Psychology and from Webster University in 2013 with my MA in Counseling, with an emphasis in Marriage and Family Counseling. I've been in private practice since, with a couple of years sabbatical here and there because I am also a mom to three kids. My license is based in South Carolina as I grew up in the Summerville/Charleston area; however, now I live with my kids and spouse (and lots of chickens!) in Brevard, NC, where you'll frequently find us on a camping excursion in our VW bus. I am a very client centered, process orientated, relational, meet you where you are kind of therapist and I hope that I can walk with you as you work to close the discrepancy between the life you want to live and the life you are currently living (while we look at how you got here!). I utilize many interventions to do this and pull from lots of modalities and theory (I love a good "brain hack" or tool), but mainly I hope to be understanding, compassionate, and curious about you.

Reviews

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Alicia Johnson. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with BetterHelp might be different.

Having Alicia as my therapist for just over a year has been the most transformational decision I've ever made. She holds the mirror up to you while showing you how to navigate your specific issues while teaching you the tools to do the work. I believe she represents the best parts of the mental health world/profession and she is truly a blessing to humankind for the excellent work she does with people.

Alicia is super helpful and wonderful to talk to! I’d never had a good therapy experience before and was very close to just giving up completely but I am so glad I gave it one last shot and met her!
