About June
June Cichowicz is a licensed clinical social worker with 23 years of experience helping people face anxiety and other common concerns. She supports people dealing with stress, depression, self-esteem struggles, relationship problems, and major life changes. June aims to make the first step feel manageable and steady.
June uses a practical, person-focused style in sessions. She listens first, then helps people name goals and try small steps toward them. She often draws on cognitive behavioral ideas to change unhelpful thinking and on client-centered listening to follow each person's pace.
Background and approach
Her background includes graduate study at the University of Wisconsin-Madison and a two-year mental health fellowship at Cedars-Sinai Hospital in Los Angeles. That work exposed her to many different life situations and ages, and she has continued building on that clinical experience over two decades. June also brings narrative and psychodynamic ideas into therapy when they fit.
Those approaches help people make sense of painful patterns, family stories, and old wounds that still affect day-to-day life. She balances insight with concrete tools so people can try new behaviors between sessions. She has worked with challenges such as grief and loss, parenting strain, chronic illness, workplace stress, addiction concerns, body image, and mood disorders.
June aims to work as a collaborative partner and to use clarity and a touch of gentle humor when it helps. People meet with her remotely from California in English. June emphasizes steady progress, realistic goals, and building on each person's strengths as they move through change.
Approaches that translate well to online care
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and following a person's needs. In practice this means the therapist reflects what a person says, helps name strengths, and supports decisions the person wants to try. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical skills to change patterns. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, and reactions to life changes. Dialectical behavior therapy, or DBT, adds skills for handling strong emotions and improving how people cope under stress. It can help with mood swings, intense stress, and impulsive behaviors.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with the person about needs, goals, and what feels helpful, then try methods that fit. That collaborative process makes it easier to adjust methods as progress is tracked and goals shift.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video lets people work face to face from different places, phone works when bandwidth is limited, live chat or text can be a short way to check in between sessions. These options help fit therapy around work, caregivers duties, or medical appointments while keeping focus on steady, useful steps forward.
