About June
June Cichowicz is a licensed clinical social worker in California with 23 years of experience. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, and struggles with self-esteem. She also supports those coping with grief, major life changes, and health-related transitions.
June takes a straightforward, person-centered approach in sessions. She treats each person as the expert on their own life and looks for strengths to build on. Her work is practical and goal-oriented, with room for humor when it fits the situation.
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 fellowship offered experience across a wide range of ages and abilities. Those years shaped her comfort working with complicated life transitions and medical-related concerns.
In the therapy room she uses a mix of methods to match a person’s needs. Techniques come from Client-Centered Therapy, cognitive behavioral approaches, dialectical behavior strategies, narrative work, and psychodynamic ideas. She blends these to help with coping skills, mood regulation, communication, and processing loss.
June aims to be a supportive partner in change. She focuses on small, practical steps toward clearer goals. People who want a direct, respectful, and collaborative therapist may find her approach helpful.
How therapeutic approaches are used in online care
Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening, respect, and building on each person's strengths. This approach focuses on what matters to the client and supports their own goals and insights. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets specific thoughts and behaviors that contribute to mood and stress problems and teaches concrete coping strategies. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) provides skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improving how people manage strong feelings.Choosing the right approach is part of therapy. The therapist works collaboratively to see which methods fit a person’s needs, goals, and pace. Sessions can mix elements from different approaches so the plan matches what the person wants to change and how they like to work.
The biography does not list session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and offer options for video or audio depending on what the therapist provides. Licensed professionals can often adapt techniques used in person to an online setting, including skill practice, thought tracking, and structured exercises, so clients can work on real-life problems between sessions.
