About Maci

LISW-CP in South Carolina with eight years of experience, Maci Johnson helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, and depression. She works with adults and young adults and supports those coping with PTSD, mood disorders, and the emotional effects of discrimination or institutional systems. Sessions focus on practical steps to manage symptoms and improve day-to-day functioning.

Johnson uses clear, structured techniques alongside skills practice. She draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy for changing unhelpful thoughts and building coping skills. She also incorporates mindfulness, grounding and breathing exercises to reduce intense distress.

When trauma is central, Johnson uses approaches designed to process traumatic memories and reduce their hold on daily life. She works with people affected by sexual assault, abuse, or system-related harms and helps them identify concrete strategies for safety and stabilization. She also addresses relationship strain, communication problems, and issues around infidelity and separation.

Her style is collaborative and straightforward. She asks about what is working and what is not, sets small goals, and teaches exercises to use between sessions. Sessions may include skill-building, focused conversation, and structured practice of new behaviors.

Johnson notes experience with a broad range of concerns including abandonment issues, attachment difficulties, impulsivity, personality-related challenges, polyamory and non-monogamous relationship dynamics, and HIV/AIDS related impact. She combines practical tools with attention to how systems and prejudice affect a person’s life.

Evidence-based approaches and what online sessions look like

CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It uses clear exercises to identify unhelpful thoughts and replace them with more useful ways of thinking, which can help with anxiety, depression, and panic. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches concrete skills for managing intense emotions, improving distress tolerance, and strengthening interpersonal effectiveness; it is practical for people who struggle with impulsivity or strong mood swings.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will work collaboratively to pick methods that match a person’s goals and preferences. That choice can change over time as needs evolve and as specific techniques are tried and evaluated together.

The site indicates a subscription model for sessions and asks users to complete a matching questionnaire to schedule a first appointment. The biography does not list specific session formats here, so confirm current session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when useful, and reduce travel time, helping people sustain regular work on the issues they bring to therapy.
