About June
June Cichowicz is a California-licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) with 23 years of experience helping adults with common life struggles. She works with relationship problems, grief and loss, low self-esteem, depression, anxiety, stress, addictions, and coping with major life changes. She also addresses concerns like body image, caregiver stress, chronic illness, and guilt and shame.
June draws on a mix of practical talk and reflective listening. Sessions focus on clear goals and small steps people can try between meetings. She often uses straightforward conversation and, when appropriate, a touch of gentle humor to ease tense moments.
Her training includes a master of social service degree from the University of Wisconsin-Madison and a two-year mental health fellowship at Cedars-Sinai Hospital in Los Angeles. That fellowship involved work with a wide range of people, including children, teens, and adults from varied backgrounds.
In sessions she treats the person as the expert on their life, helping them notice strengths they already have. She mixes approaches such as client-centered methods, cognitive behavioral ideas, dialectical behavior skills, narrative techniques, and psychodynamic thinking to fit the problem at hand.
People meet her to set clear, goal-oriented plans for change. She helps unpack what’s keeping someone stuck and supports practical steps for managing emotions, relationships, and big transitions.
Approaches used online and how they help
Client-centered work focuses on listening and following the person's concerns. It helps clarify what matters most and builds on strengths the person already has. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and suggests concrete skills and small experiments to test new ways of responding. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers skills for managing intense emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness, which can help with stress, self-control, and relationship strain.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to identify which methods fit someone’s needs, goals, and preferences. That means trying techniques, checking what helps, and adjusting later sessions based on feedback.
The biography does not specify session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into daily life, such as keeping appointments around work or caregiving, avoiding travel time, and choosing shorter check-ins when time is limited. They also allow for meeting from different locations when needed. Ask about available formats and scheduling when you complete the matching questionnaire.
