Maci Johnson

Maci Johnson is a Licensed Independent Social Worker Clinical Practice (LISW-CP) who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship struggles, and women's issues. She works with teens, young adults, and adults. Her style aims to create a space where people feel seen and able to speak openly about hard experiences.

She understands that trauma, rejection, and discrimination can change how a person sees themselves and relates to others. Maci supports people coping with PTSD symptoms, panic attacks, mood disorders, and self-harm thoughts. She also helps with relationship challenges such as infidelity, divorce and separation, attachment concerns, and communication problems.

Maci uses practical, evidence-based techniques and adapts them to each person's needs. She draws from cognitive behavioral approaches, mindfulness, grounding and breathing practices, and strengths-based work. She also uses strategies from motivational interviewing and solution-focused methods to help people set goals and notice progress.

Her work attends to complex life contexts, including the effects of institutional systems, incarceration, and prejudice. She supports people impacted by HIV/AIDS and addresses sexuality and body image concerns without judgment. She balances empathy with honest feedback to encourage growth and clearer self-understanding.

Maci wants therapy to help people reclaim their voice and sense of possibility. She invites clients to begin wherever they are and to move at a steady, manageable pace toward the changes they want. Her practice is based in South Carolina and she works in English.

Evidence-based approaches and online care

Many of the methods Maci uses are practical and skill-focused. Cognitive behavioral techniques help people spot unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors to reduce anxiety and depression. Mindfulness and grounding practices teach simple in-the-moment skills for managing panic symptoms and overwhelming emotions.

She also uses strengths-based and solution-focused ideas to help clients set clear goals and notice small gains. These approaches are focused on what works for the person now and on building tools they can use between sessions. Choosing the right mix of techniques is a collaborative process and she will work with each client to find the best fit for their needs and goals.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the session formats available before booking since specific formats are not listed here. Working remotely can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Many people find online work helps them maintain consistency while balancing school, work, and caregiving responsibilities.
