About Alethia
Alethia Johnson helps people with stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, workplace worries and life changes using conversation and practical tools. She offers video sessions and messaging, and is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). She has 25 years of professional experience working with these issues.
She keeps sessions focused and practical. Alethia uses methods from cognitive behavioural therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy and dialectical behaviour therapy to help people notice unhelpful patterns and try small changes. She also draws on attachment-based and client-centred approaches to make discussions about relationships and feelings easier to follow.
Her work often covers career concerns, motivation, study-related stress and balancing work with life outside the job. She also helps people who experience panic attacks and ongoing workplace problems. Sessions include talking through problems, setting realistic goals and practising simple skills between meetings.
Alethia uses video sessions and messaging as her ways of working. She cannot provide written proof of attendance to third parties. She is available to people in the United Kingdom and the European Union and works in English.
People who prefer structured tools and clear steps tend to do well with her approach. She will agree goals and practical actions at the start of work together, and review progress regularly. Booking begins with an online matching questionnaire and arranging a first session.
How her approaches work in online sessions
Alethia commonly uses cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) to help people identify unhelpful thinking and try different ways of responding. CBT is practical and often focuses on small, testable changes that reduce distress and improve daily functioning.
She also uses acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) which helps people notice difficult thoughts without letting them control actions, and to clarify what matters most so they can take value-based steps. Attachment-based ideas are used to look at how early relationship patterns affect current reactions and communication.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Alethia will discuss options with each person and agree what to try first, then adjust based on what helps. This is a collaborative process and practical goals are set together.
Her sessions are delivered by video and messaging, so please confirm the session options when booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around work or study, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Registered or accredited professionals use these formats to offer regular contact and consistent progress checks.
Sessions take place through BetterHelp by video, phone or messaging. We will earn a commission if you sign up.
