June Cichowicz

June Cichowicz is a licensed clinical social worker in California who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship concerns. She also supports clients coping with grief, life changes, self-esteem struggles, and issues around parenting and addiction. June writes plainly and invites practical steps toward better daily functioning. She trained at the University of Wisconsin-Madison and completed a two-year mental health fellowship at Cedars-Sinai Hospital in Los Angeles. That fellowship included work with a wide range of ages and backgrounds, including children, teens, adolescents, and adults. Her clinical career spans 23 years and centers on steady, consistent support through transitions. In sessions she treats each person as the expert on their own life. She uses conversational, goal-focused work to identify small changes that add up. She values a bit of humor when it fits, and she aims to make frank discussions feel manageable rather than overwhelming. June draws on several therapeutic approaches to match the person and the problem. Techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy are used to build coping skills and reduce distress. Narrative and psychodynamic ideas help people reorganize their story and understand patterns that repeat. Her practice focuses on real-life problems like chronic illness, body image concerns, caregiver stress, workplace strain, and the emotional impact of divorce or loss. People looking for steady support through a difficult season will find an experienced clinician who emphasizes collaboration and concrete next steps.

Therapeutic approaches that translate to online work

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening closely and following the person's lead to uncover strengths and priorities. It helps when someone needs support making real choices and building motivation for change. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical skills to reduce anxiety, low mood, and unhelpful habits. Dialectical behavior therapy, or DBT, emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and better communication for people who struggle with intense emotions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist collaborates with each person to see which methods fit their goals and day-to-day needs. Sessions may mix elements from different approaches so the plan matches what is most useful in practice.

Session formats are not specified in the provided biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. They also let people use strategies learned in therapy in the places they live, work, and rest, helping translate new skills into everyday routines.
