June Cichowicz , LCSW

June Cichowicz is a licensed clinical social worker based in California who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship strains, and issues around self-esteem. She brings 23 years of clinical experience to sessions and works with people navigating major life changes, chronic illness, caregiving strain, and concerns tied to women's issues.

She trained at the University of Wisconsin-Madison and completed a two-year mental health fellowship at Cedars-Sinai Hospital in Los Angeles. That early work exposed her to a broad mix of people across ages and backgrounds and helped shape a flexible style of care.

June believes people are the experts on their own stories. She listens first and helps clients set clear, practical goals. Sessions focus on building skills, increasing motivation, and finding small steps that fit everyday life.

Her approach blends client-centered work with cognitive and behavioral techniques, narrative methods, and strategies drawn from dialectical behavior and psychodynamic ideas. She uses whatever tools best match a person's goals, from managing mood and anxiety to coping with loss or body image concerns.

June values collaboration and a straightforward tone. She often mixes practical problem solving with moments of lightness when it helps. The aim is steady progress toward a more manageable, satisfying life.

How June’s Approaches Work Online

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding someone’s experience, helping them feel heard and supported while they set their own goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and teaches practical skills to change them; it is useful for anxiety, depression, and stress. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers concrete tools for managing intense emotions and improving distress tolerance, which can help with mood regulation and relationship conflicts.

Choosing the right approach is a team effort. June will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful, then try methods that match those needs. The plan can change over time so it fits what is working in real life.

Online sessions use video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility to fit different schedules and situations. Video lets people work face-to-face from wherever they are. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Chat and text messaging can be used for brief check-ins, progress notes, or when a shorter touchpoint fits the day. Together these options make it easier to keep therapy consistent while tailoring how work gets done.
