Johansson studied at the Skara scene school, which was followed by a degree from Swedish National Academy of Mime and Acting in 1989.

Since adulthood, Johansson has been a practicing Catholic. She elaborated, "I have always felt that everything is animated. I kept a lot to myself, I didn't want my faith to be tarnished. But as an adult, I wanted to take all that seriously, so I sought out a Catholic priest and wanted to convert. It felt like Catholicism was more hardcore than the Church of Sweden. The sacraments, the confession, they felt right to me."
